It was constructed in 1930. The architectural layout is a simple butterfly
bungalow, which was unusual for the larger princely residences in
New Delhi. The building has been categorised as a heritage building by the
New Delhi Municipal Council. The effort of the
government of Kerala is to transform this heritage building into a cultural complex. As part of this plan, an art gallery has been set up in the Travancore House. It is run under the auspices of
Kerala House, which has a number of offices there. == See also ==
