Tippu’s Palace

Tippu’s Palace

Situated near the fort, construction of this palace was begun by Tippu Sultan’s father Haider Ali, and completed by Tippu himself in 1791. It resembles the Daria Daulat Palace at Srirangapatna, Tipu’s capital. It was known as `Rashk-e-jannat’ – the Envy of Heaven. Constructed largely of wood, it is known for the five elaborately decorated arches surmounted by exquisite minarets, and paintings on the walls and ceilings.

Open to the Public: 6a.m. to 6 p.m.
