Mysuru Palace, Mysuru, Karnataka

Walk through a real-life royal dream—Mysuru Palace. In the heart of Mysuru, Karnataka, this palace is where royalty once lived, ruled and hosted grandeur on a whole new level. It was the official home of the Wadiyar dynasty and the nerve centre of the Kingdom of Mysore. This structure is the brainchild of British architect Henry Irwin. It"s a vibrant mix of Indo-Saracenic architecture, laced with Islamic arches, Rajput finesse and a touch of Gothic drama.
