glory of the illustrious Wodeyar Kings. This former
state capital is a seamless blend of old-world charm
and modernity. It retains its tradition in music and
dance, art and literature, and time-honoured crafts.

Mysore Palace |
|
|
Built
in Indo-Saracenic style, with domes, turrets, arches,
and colonnades, the palace is a treasure house of exquisite
carvings and works of art from all over the world. Known
as Amba Vilas Palace, it was designed by Henry Irwin,
the British consultant architect of Madras state, and
completed in 1912 on the site of the old wooden palace
that was destroyed by fire in 1897. The majestic Durbar
Hall with its ornate ceiling and sculpted pillars, and
the Marriage Pavilion with its chandeliers, cast-iron
pillars, and Belgian stained glass arranged in peacock
designs in the domed ceilings are the main attractions.
Make sure you see the magnificent jewel-studded golden
throne, the pride of the Wodeyars and the symbol of
their sovereignty, displayed here during the Dussehra
festival in October. |
