Rama Varma abdicated the throne in 1914. He died in January 1932 at his summer residence in [[Thrissur]]. He was cremated with full state honours in the premises of his home. Both his palace and resting place are now situated in the premises of [[Sree Kerala Varma College]], made by and named after Kerala Varma VII. His name was given to several educational institutions in the [[Kingdom of Cochin|Cochin state]] like the one in [[Vadavucode]] named [[Rajarshi Memorial Higher Secondary School, Vadavucode|Rajarshi Memorial Higher Secondary school Vadavucode]] and [[Rajarshi Memorial Higher Secondary School|Rajarshi Memorial Higher Secondary school, Alloor.]]<br />
<br />
== Personal life ==<br />
Rama Varma XV had married twice, his first marriage did not last for long due to the death of his wife. His second wife was Ittyanath Madathil Parukutty a member of the Ittyanath Family from Villadam, Thrissur. Parukutty was his Nethyaramma there after. He also happens to be the step father of Ittyanath Madathil Madhavi (wife of '''[[Rama Varma Parikshith Thampuran]]''').<br />
<br />
Parukutty was a widow herself before her marriage to Rama Varma XV and had a girl child from that marriage. As it's a custom then to leave children from earlier marriage at one's ancestral home Parukutty did the same after her marriage to Rama Varma XV. Upon her arrival at the Palace in Tripunithura, Rama Varma XV enquired about the child. When he heard about the child from Parukutty, he ordered that the child should be brought to the Palace at once. Later this child was destined to become a Nethyaramma herself after her marriage to '''[[Rama Varma Parikshith Thampuran]].'''<br />
