'''Kowdiar Palace''' in [[Thiruvananthapuram]], [[Kerala]], India was built in 1934 by Maharajah Sree [[Chithira Thirunal Balarama Varma]], on ''Pallikettu'' (wedding) of his only sister, Maharani [[Karthika Thirunal Lakshmi Bayi]] with Lt. Col. [[G. V. Raja]]. After the Constitutional Amendment of 1971, the properties and estates of the royal family were partitioned and divided equally among the branches of the two Travancore Queens, [[Sethu Lakshmi Bayi]] and [[Sethu Parvathi Bayi]]. This Palace belongs to the heirs of Sethu Parvathi Bayi as it was built by her son Maharajah Sree [[Chithira Thirunal]].<ref>{{cite web|last=thiruvananthapuram|first=updates|title=UthradomThirunal Marthanda Varma at 90|date=11 March 2012 |url=http://thiruvananthapuramupdates.wordpress.com/2012/03/11/uthradom-thirunal-marthanda-varma-at-90/|publisher=Sourced from "Malayala Manorama"|access-date=26 March 2014}}</ref><br />
