DESCRIPTION
The Palace is a wonderful specimen of Indo-Saracenic style of architecture. The two-storeyed palace has been built solely of wood, teak, stone, mortar and plaster, and is supported by huge wooden pillars with bases of stones. The rectangular building has accentuated arches and brackets and ceilings that are adorned with delicate carvings on them.
It was built between 1781 and 1791 under the reign of the ruler of Mysore, Tipu Sultan inside the Bangalore Fort after the work was commenced by his father Hyder Ali in 1781. Tipu Sultan used this fort as his
summer palace and also to run his administration from Bangalore.
After the death of the Mysorean Ruler in
1799 during the fourth Anglo-Mysorean war the palace and the fort was captured by the British who used the palace as a Secretariat before they relocated to Attara Kacheri. Post-Independence, the historical
monument was handed over to the Archaeological Survey of India.
