Chitrakulam is one of the prominent historical spots inChanganacherry, Kerala. It was constructed by King Chitravarma adjacent to Chitrakadavu Mahadeva Temple.The most striking feature of this pond is that many secret passages and tunnels from the then royal palace ended here, meant for safe escape.It served as the bathing ghats of the royal family for many years. today, the pond stands but the tunnels have vanished and this architectural marvel survives in a pitiful condition today. It is now used by local people for bathing purposes.

The pond was renovated many times under the initiatives of many political and educational instituitions. It is one of the largest ponds in Changanacherry.
