The Srimoolam Prajasabha was established in the year 1904 during the reign of Maharaja Sri Moolam Thirunal of Travancore.
It was the first Legislative Assembly in an Indian princely state.
The Prajasabha functioned as a representative body to advise the king on administrative matters.
Initially, it had both nominated and elected members, making it a semi-representative institution.
It played a crucial role in the political evolution of Travancore, leading to democratic reforms and ultimately contributing to the formation of the Travancore Legislative Assembly.
