About Mysuru Palace
The seat of the Wadiyar kings, rebuilt in Indo-Saracenic style by the architect Henry Irwin and finished in 1912 after a fire destroyed the old wooden palace. Inside are the Durbar Hall, the Kalyana Mantapa with its stained glass peacock ceiling, and rooms of carved doors and paintings. The palace is lit with about one lakh bulbs on Sunday evenings, public holidays and every night of Dasara.
