Eraniel Palace is a small (currently dilapidated) palace located near Eraniel village, Kanyakumari district, Tamil Nadu, South India and is considered a treasure-trove of Travancore and Venad history. HistoryThe palace was an important place of political and commercial importance in South India, since Eraniel town was a seasonal capital of the Venad kingdom until the seventeenth century when Padmanabhapuram came into prominence.[1] However, in the 21st century, only some modest glimpses of the old royal heritage of the historic Eraniel town can be found in the remains of the old palace (Thekkaethevan Koikkal), its ornate granite pillars, some timber beams, decaying walls that seem ready to fall anytime soon, and the already collapsed roof [1][1].[2] ArchitectureThe present day Eraniel palace complex spreads over slightly more than three-and-one-half acres. However, it is mostly in dilapidated condition due to decades of neglect. Currently, only three identifiable parts of the palace remains:
The palace compound also has a pond within, that was probably used by the royalty. Dressed granite blocks were used to perfectly line and bound the sides of this pond. [4][5][6].[7] RestorationThe palace is owned by Government of Tamil Nadu but there is almost zero management or maintenance, that led to its present-day dilapidated condition. Although the Government had announced plans to reconstruct the complex and the Hindu Religious and Charitable Endowments Department has made estimates to invite tenders, the palace complex continues to remain in ruins and uncared-for.[8] See also
