 Tipu Sultan Summer Palace



The Tipu Sultan Palace is an Indo-Islamic architecture that was built during 1700. The palace construction was commenced in 1781 by Hyder Ali, father of Tipu Sultan. The palace was fully constructed in 1791 by Tipu Sultan.

The moment you enter the palace you will notice the beautiful pillars, arches and balconies. The palace is entirely built with teak and looks very beautiful at first glance. The is also a garden in front and side of the palace but sadly not many flowers are grown. 

The ground floor is converted to museum. It showcases various achievements of Tipu Sultan and also a replica of Tipu's tiger. The are portraits of places and people during Tipu's reign. The first floor has four rooms beautiful floral motifs embellishing the walls of the palace. There is also a painting of the grand throne which was built with gold coating and emeralds. Tipu has vowed that he would use the throne only after defeating the British army in the war. Sadly, during the fourth anglo war in 1798-99, Tipu was killed. 

After Tipu's death the palace was under the British administration till 1868. You may ask what happened to the Tipu's grand throne? Well, it was sold by the Britishers in parts because the throne was so expensive that no one could afford to buy it.

Today the Archaeological Survey of India maintains the palace while Government of Karnataka, maintains the Horticulture department area in front of the palace as a garden and lawn.
