The history of Balaramapuram dates back over 200 years ago and is closely associated with the Travancore Royal Family. Its hand-spun and hand-woven cotton and Kasavu fabric have put its place on the fashion map of India. 

The looms that weave the golden story are a great experience to visit and buy some memorabilia.
