Inside the world famous Mysore Palace

in #india8 years ago

Mysore Palace is also known as Ambavilas palace. It is a three-story structure built between 1897-1912. The architectural style of domes of the palace is Indo-Saracenic with blends of the Hindu, Mughal, Rajput and Gothic.
It is one of the most popular tourist destinations in India with more than 3 million visitors per year.

Recently during my Karnataka state tour, I also visited this beautiful place and captured some images of this palace from outside and inside.

Inside the palace, there are several major unique rooms including-

  • The Diwan-e-aam, a public durbar
  • The Ambavilasa, room used by the king as a hall for private audiences
  • Doll’s Pavilion, a gallery of traditional dolls
  • The Kalyana Mantapa, or marriage hall
  • An armoury which contains arms used by the members of the royal family
