ROCK PILLARS AT SHANGHUMUGHOM BEACH,TRIVANDRUM.

Built during the reign of the Maharajas of
Travancore Dynasty, this Architectoral beauty
still stands tall, full of pride, and will be
for ages.

TRAVANCORE:
***********
Travancore or Thiruvithaamkoor (Malayalam: തിരുവിതാങ്കൂര്‍ ("Thiru (respectful prefix which suggests either royal or divine) + idham (wish) koor (loyalty) in malayalam.)[Tiruvitāńkūr], തിരുവിതാംകൂര്‍ [Tiruvitāṃkūr], തിരുവിതാങ്കോട് [Tiruvitāńkoṭ]) was a princely state in India with its capital at Trivandrum (Thiruvananthapuram). The state comprised most of south Kerala and the modern Nagercoil and Kanyakumari districts of Tamil Nadu and it had a 19-gun salute in the British Empire. Its flag was red with a silver dextrally coiled sacred conch shell (Turbinella pyrum Linnaeus). Travancore was merged with the other Malayalam-speaking state of Cochin on 1 July 1949 to form Travancore-Cochin, and later with the Malabar district of Madras State on 1 November 1956 to form the south Indian state of Kerala. The Last Maharajah was Chithira Thirunal and the last Dewan was PGN Unnithan.

Very nice, I never went to the beach here. I should have traveled more in Kerala. Once I found Varkala, I went back 6 times or more, so nice! I love these ancient buildings. I saw a similiar one in Kanyakumari on the beach.
