Portraits of the Rajas of Cochin, from 1864 onwards, are displayed in what was once the Coronation Hall. These were painted by local artists in western style.

The Mattancherry Palace, also known as the Dutch Palace, is located in Mattancherry, Kochi, in the South Indian state of Kerala. It features Kerala murals depicting Hindu temple art, portraits and exhibits of the en:Rajas of Kochi. The Mattancherry Palace temple and the (Paradesi (Mattancherry) Synagogue share a common wall
The Palace was built and gifted by the Portuguese as a present to the king of Cochin around 1555. The Dutch carried out some extensions and renovations in the palace in 1663, and thereafter it was popularly called Dutch Palace. The rajas also made more improvements to it. Today, it is a portrait gallery of the Cochin Rajas and notable for some of the best mythological murals in India, which are in the best traditions of Hindu temple art. The palace was built to appease the king after they plundered a temple nearby.[2][3]
The landing of Vasco da Gama, the Portuguese explorer at Kappad in 1498 was welcomed by the Kochi rulers. They were given exclusive right to construct factories. The Portuguese repulsed the repeated attacks of the Zamorians and the Cochin Rajas practically became vassals of the Portuguese. The influence of the Portuguese were supplanted by the Dutch and they took over Mattancherry in 1663.[2] Subsequently, the area was taken over by Hyder Ali and still later by the British East India Company

Dutch Warehouse
Lined alongside Bazar Road, which leads to Mattancherry, are structures dating back several hundred years, when the spice trade was at its peak. Built at a time when the Dutch ruled Cochin, these structures served as warehouses for the storage of spices, hence the name ‘Dutch Warehouse’, or to use local parlance, ‘godown’. While several of them continue to be used, others remain dilapidated.
