Mysore Palace or Mysore Maharaja Palace is now one of the most famous tourist attractions in India, after the Taj Mahal, with more than 6 million annual visitors. It is also known as Amba Vilas Palace, still stands majestically, captivating every visitor with its incomparable beauty and undefeatable strength.
In the 'City of Palaces', Mysore Palace is a historical palace and a royal residence at Mysore in the Indian State of Karnataka. It is the official residence of the Wadiyar dynasty and the seat of the Kingdom of Mysore. The palace is in the heart of Mysore and faces the Chamundi Hills eastward.
The land on which the palace now stands was originally known as puragiri (literally, citadel), and is now known as the Old Fort. Yaduraya built the first palace inside the Old Fort in the 14th century, which was demolished and constructed multiple times.
The last palace, now known as the Old Palace or the Wooden Palace, was burnt into ashes during the 1896 Dasara festivities. Maharaja Krishnaraja Wodeyar IV and his mother Maharani Kempananjammanni Devi, commissioned the British architect Lord Henry Irwin to build a new palace. The construction was overseen by B. P. Raghavulu Naidu, an executive engineer in the Mysore Palace division. He had conducted elaborate architectural studies during visits to Delhi, Madras, and Calcutta, and these were used in planning for the new palace. The construction cost was placed at Rs 41,47,913 and was completed in 1912.
The architectural style of domes of the palace is commonly described as Indo-Saracenic, with blends of the Hindu, Mughal, Rajput, and Gothic styles. The most striking feature of the palace, its deep pink marble domes on top of grey granite three stories building and a 145-foot five-story tower
The palace has three entrances: the East Gate (the front gate, opened only during the Dasara and for dignitaries), the South Entrance (for public), and the West Entrance (usually opened only during the Dasara).
The palace is surrounded by a large garden.
There are three major exclusive temple buildings within the Old Fort and about 18 inside the palace heart building. which are now protected under the Karnataka state division of the Archaeological Survey of India.
