Often called the Tiger of Mysore, Tipu Sultan was the ruler of Mysore and is remembered for his martial capabilities and administrative brilliance. He perished fighting shoulder-to-shoulder with his army, and today, you will catch a few glimpses of his legacy. The Sultan's Summer Palace speaks volumes about him – the original palace was built completely with teak.
While the fort is largely in ruins, the palace has been beautifully maintained. Carved archways and spectacular columns make for an enthralling sight, while stone staircases lead up to an open space, believed to have been used as a durbar (assembly room) for Tipu’s special guests. Floral motifs adorn the walls of the palace.
A major highlight is a portrait of a throne, conceived by Tipu. This throne was made of gold and precious stones. It's said that Tipu vowed not to use this throne, before completely subduing the British forces. There are many other jaw-dropping sights at the palace. The ground floor has been turned into a museum, detailing Tipu Sultan's exploits, and other memorabilia.
