Nilambur Kovilakam in Malappuram, Kerala is a magnificent palace that once served as the royal residence of the Nilambur rajas. Known for its magnificent frescoes and exquisite woodwork, the Kovilakam reflects the cultural richness and architectural brilliance of a bygone era.
Its history dates back to the 13th century when the Zamorin of Kozhikode appointed trusted families to manage lands and protect his territory in Nilambur. Over time, the rulers of Thacharakkal and Edavannappara shaped the development and prosperity of the town. The rich heritage of this place makes it a notable inclusion in your Kerala tour packages.
Built in the traditional architectural style of Kerala, the palace features ornate wooden ceilings, carved doors and sloping tiled roofs. Situated on the banks of the Chali River, the palace is surrounded by the famous teak plantations of Nilambur, which contribute to the natural beauty and economic heritage of the region.
