tipu sultans summer palace

                    This summer residence of Tipu Sultan was built in the year 1791. The ceilings and walls of the palace have a floral touch with Islamic carvings and decorations. The uniqueness of this two-storey building is that it is entirely made of teak wood with wooden pillars supporting the palaces foundation. It is said that the Sultan used the eastern and western balconies to conduct the mass and state affairs. The intricately carved wooden balcony and the majestic staircases are great examples of architectural marvels. Although the palace's size is not magnanimous, it gives the state of Karnataka a rustic touch. It is one of the Bangalore tourist places that is included in almost all the itineraries.
