Most of the time, we neglect the monuments which are in the city or place where we reside. Though I wished to visit Tipu Palace, many times, I could not. My niece who came here during summer vacation , is also interested in visiting old monuments. So we visited, Tipu Palace.
In actual sense, this is not a big palace. Tipu Sultan( Ruler of Mysore), used to address his people here.
This is how it looks from the entrance :
And finally , the balcony, from where King used to address his people:

This is how it looks from the entrance :
The Palace is built with wooden pillars and arches.
Pillars are very nicely carved:
It has steps which leads to first floor:
The walls and ceilings are beautifully painted with flower and vine designs. This resembles Mughal design.
And finally , the balcony, from where King used to address his people:
Inside the Palace, few weapons and belongings of Tipu Sultan are kept. I could click Tipu's portrait :
We visited Bangalore Palace also.

ReplyDeleteHi Ranjana
ReplyDeleteYou are right. We often neglect the ones we love and know the most. And places of historic interest right next door are not visited. I have many such examples.
Have sen Tipu's Palace in Sreerangapatna but not the one in Bangalore.
Nice pictures and useful information.
Great job.

I am also one of those who has lived in Bangalore but has not visited these interesting spots. Thanks for sharing these pictures. Probably should take my kids there sometime when I visit my mom.
