Abstract
The Travancore Almanac & Directory for 1937 was published in 1936 by order of the Government of His Highness the Maharaja of Travancore and printed at the Government Press in Trivandrum. This official yearly reference book served as a comprehensive guide, combining a calendar of important dates, astronomical and astrological data, and extensive administrative, commercial, and civic information about daily life in Travancore during that period. It covered a wide range of topics, including detailed maps for travelers and officials, astronomical data and predictions, religious and cultural observances, governmental structure and administrative divisions, historical and contemporary rulers, names and addresses of officials, institutions, and businesses, lunar phases, and seasonal information. Preserved as a historical source, the almanac remains invaluable for researchers studying Travancore’s administration, economy, and society in the pre-independence era.
