Raja Ravi Varma Art Gallery

Within the grounds of Thiruvananthapuram's (Trivandrum's) zoo, this gallery displays paintings by the Rajput, Mughal and Tanjore schools, and portraits by renowned Keralite artist Ravi Varma (1848–1906) in the European style.

In the gallery's small annex, near the eastern entrance to the zoo, you can see an opulent royal chariot used by the former maharajas of Travancore.
