Museo Mysuru Palace

Mysore Palace is one of the most famous tourist attractions in India, after the Taj Mahal; and has more than 4 million visitors annually.

What you see today is the new palace that was built in the year 1912 by Krishnaraja Wodeyar IV. The British architect Lord Henry Irwin was commissioned to build a new palace to replace the old one which had been turned into ashes by fire.  The palace stands on the very same ground where the old seat of power used to exist in the 18th century.
