Standing majestically amidst swathes of trees with the city having grown around it over the years, Kowdiar still remains a hub for many social activities. The ‘Raja patha’ or ‘Royal path’ begins from Kowdiar, leading all the way to East Fort where the royal family would arrive to offer their prayers at the Sri Padmanabhaswamy temple.
