Sri Mulam Club

Few elites of Trivandrum, met on 2nd June, 1890 at “Hill View”, Thycaud (Later owned by Sri.A.N.Thambi) and resolved to start a new club. Thus a club was born with the name “The Union Club”. Sir T.Rama Roa, the then ruling Dewan of Travancore, was elected as the first President of the Club. Even now the Club year extends from 1st June to 31st May. On the first anniversary day, a resolution was passed requesting the Government to grant a suitable site for the club and a donation for start- up works. The Government acceded to the request with a gift of 3 ½ acres of land on the southern side of Cotton Hill at Vazhuthacaud and a grant of Rs.1000.

Government’s grant supplement with Member’s contribution brought to reality the first club building within a year. Acceding to the club’s request His Highness Sri Mulam Thirunal Rama Varma, Maharaja of Travancore, paid a visit to the new premises. His Highness also agreed to name the club after him and became the patron of the club. Thus the club was renamed as “Sri Mulam Rama Varma Union Club” in 1892. The Club’s name was shortened to “Sri Mulam Club” during the late 1930s. A Classy air-conditioned modern Community Hall was opened two more banquet halls, a family restaurant, an elegant permit room, a modern lobby, fully automated operations, sprawling lawn, synthetic tennis court, Shuttle Court with PVC Surface, modern health club, guest house, CSR activities, overwhelming club festivities enjoyed by nearly 2300 members and families feature the present club. Sri Mulam Club, as it proudly marches ahead holding high the lofty principles on which it was founded 126 years ago, offers a bonhomous yet responsible social niche for the elite natives.
