The Moodathu Madam, or Moovidathu Madam, is a dilapidated structure located in front of the Sundaravilasam Palace. The royal members of Changanassery, Mavelikkara and Kilimanoor palaces stayed in this palace when they came to Thiruvananthapuram. It is said that after his studies, the legendary artist Raja Ravi Varma lived mostly in Thiruvananthapuram, where he resided at the Moodathu Madam.
