The army of the erstwhile kingdom of Travancore was called Thiruvithamkoor Nair Pattalam or Nair Brigade of Travancore. The King Marthanda Varma, the maker of modern Travancore, modernised the army and equipped them to face any challenges from the enemies. The headquarters of the Travancore Military were at Palayam. The building is now converted into the Kerala Legislative Assembly Golden Jubilee Museum of Kerala. Built as a memorial to the Father of our Nation, the museum was inaugurated in April 2013.
