Palaces make way in Kochi
As Tripunithura has become a burgeoning suburb, many palaces, 'kovilakams' (palatial bungalows) and other buildings - which were once home to the members of erstwhile royal family of Cochin - are being pulled down to construct multi-storeyed apartment complexes. The palace administration board (PAB) president Haridas Thampuran said: "In Tripunithura there were many palaces and palatial bungalows which belonged to the members of the royal family. Once the partition of properties were carried out, these became privately-owned buildings. Hence, no data or records regarding its upkeep is available."
