Chamaraja Wodeyar, during a visit to England, was
inspired by the Windsor Castle in London, and along similar lines he
built this palace in Tudor style.
Banglore Palace is famous for its elegantly carved woodwork. It
is right in the heart of the city. This 120 year old monument is
a popular tourist attraction. It is surrounded by a garden all around,
almost giving it a fairytale setting. The mansion on which the palace
stands was originally owned by Reverend Garret.
An exquisite door panel at the entrance leads to grand settings
inside. The interiors have breathtaking floral motifs, cornices,
mouldings and relief paintings on its ceiling. The structure has
fortified towers complete with Gothic windows, battlements and
turrets.
Located between Jayamahal and Sadashivanagar areas, the palace
ground has become a venue for various exhibitions, concerts and
cultural programs.
