MYSORE PALACE

MYSORE PALACE

Designed by the English architect, Henry Irwin the then consulting architect of the colonial government of madras. The Mysore Palace dominates the skyline of Mysore. A three storied in the Indo-Saracenic style built “between” 1897 – 1912, the palace has beautifully designed squire towers at cardinal points, covered with domes. The Durbar Hall with its ornate ceiling and sculpted pillars and the kalyanamantapa (Marriage Pavilion) with its glazed tiled flooring and stained glass, Domed ceiling are worth noting intricately carded doors, the golden howdah (elephant scat) paintings as well as the fabulous, jewel encrusted golden throne (displayed during Dasara) are amongst the palace’s other treasures. The walled palace complex houses the Residential Museum (incorporating some of the palace living quarters), temples and shrines including the Shewetha Varahaswamy Temple. The palace is illuminated on Sunday, Public Holidays as well as during the Dasara Celebrations when 97,000 electric bulbs are used to illuminate it.

Admission to the palace is by tickets; from10.00am to5.30pm. Visitors to the palace can witness and enjoy the ‘Sound & Light’ programme very shortly.
