The Kingdom of Travancore, also known as the Thiruvithamkoor Kingdom and Travancore State, was a princely state in the Indian subcontinent that lasted from c. 1729 until 1949. It was ruled by the Travancore royal family from Padmanabhapuram, and later Thiruvananthapuram. At its zenith, the kingdom covered most of the south of modern-day Kerala and the southernmost part of modern-day Tamil Nadu with the Thachudaya Kaimal's enclave of Irinjalakuda Koodalmanikyam temple in the neighbouring kingdom of Cochin. However, the Tangasseri area of Kollam City and Anchuthengu near Attingal in Thiruvananthapuram were parts of British India.
