"Old Gate of the Fort"

The Vetti Muricha Kotta is a part of the heritage East Fort and located on the south of the iconic East Fort gate. According to a popular belief, this fort was named, 'Vetti Muricha Kotta', meaning 'cut open fort', as this section of the fort, which was once a wall, was demolished to build a new gate. This was done to facilitate an alternate entrance for King Vishakam Thirunal of the Travancore dynasty who was advised against the use of the main gate by an astrologer. Today, this gate is preserved by the State's Archaeological Department and has room for guards on either side.
