See the beauty of Bangalore palace

Bangalore Palace was built by the first Principal of Central High School in Bangalore, Rev. Garrett. Later, this property was bought from him by the Maharaja of Mysore, Chamarajendra Wadiyar. Currently, this property is owned by Mysore Royal family's present descendant, Srikanta Datta Narsimharaja Wadiyar. The palace is spread across 45,000 sq feet with a mix of Scottish Gothic and Tudor architecture. It houses battlements, foiled windows and turrets which resemble the Daria Daulat Palace of Srirangapatanam. The palace is constructed largely of wood and is famous for its paintings and carvings.

Bangalore Palace Attractions :

• Coat Of Arms: This was presented to Chamaraja Wadiyar by British. In the center of the Coat of Arms is the mythological two-headed bird Ganda Bherunda, which used to be the emblem of the Wadiyar’s. There is another mythological animal on the emblem, which has the head of an Elephant and Lion. This symbolizes power and royalty.
• A Chair to weigh Jockeys: A very unique weighing chair which weighs the jockeys and has a shape of horse-hoof legs. Every Wadiyar ruler has been a passionate fan of horse-racing. The chair is carved in shoe shape with a measuring stand on the right and weighing scale on the left.
• The courtyard has a bench and a fountain which was gifted by the King of Spain Don Alphonso.
