IRAVIVARMAN THUMPURAN

Before Travencore was consolidated by Marthandavarma, the area was ruled by a number of Principalities. Iravivarman was the ruler of one such State. He became famous by composing just one lulluby which is on the tips of every mother!

“Omana thinkal kidavo, nalla,
Komala thamara poovo.
Poovil niranha madhuvo nalla,
Poornenthu thante nilavo.Puthan pavizha kodiyo nalla,
Thathakal kojum mozhiyo.
"the crescent moon or the beautiful lotus flower?, which is better?
the nectar in the flower, or the full moon light?"

The Raja’s Palace is in a dilapidated condition. It is a pity the Government is not taking any effort to preserve this valuable monument
