I had seen this place from outside while visiting the Muzrai office at Kalasipalyam for Manasa Sarovar subsidy. It looked nice from the outside, and I thought about visiting this place. Since it was in Bengaluru, I did not put give much importance!!

A couple of weeks ago, it suddenly came to my mind that I need to visit this place. The same evening I made a plan to visit this place!!

| Summer palace |
For people preferring public transport, this place is just a two-minute walk from the KR Market metro station. For people coming by car, there is a parking place opposite the palace. Though it looks like an unofficial parking place, a person is looking after the place and charges Rs 30 for parking.

From the outside, the palace looks beautiful. ASI has maintained it well. The palace is small but looks elegant with mostly wooden (Teak) construction. The pillars and balconies are nicely done.

On the ground floor, there is a small museum that provides some information about Tipu Sultan. An inscription on the stone mentions this place as “An adobe of happiness and envy of heaven”.

The balcony on the first floor is beautiful, with small rooms at the corners. It is said that Tipu Sultan held his durbar here.

It is good to know about timings. It opens between 8:30 AM to 5:30 PM on all days. A small fee is charged (Rs 15/-, Foreigners are charged 10x times Indians!!) for visitors. No camera charges.

Your pictures are simply stunning! I have lived in Bangalore for almost 4 years now, but never visited the palace. Your post is making me want to.
