Mysore Palace: The Second Most Visited Indian Monument

Located in Karnataka, the Mysore Palace is a famous example of an Indo-Saracenic architectural style that blends Hindu, Muslim, Rajput, and Gothic styles. It was built for the 24th Ruler of the Wodeyar Dynasty between 1897 and 1912. This dynasty had ruled the region since 1399, and Mysore was the capital of their kingdom. When a fire destroyed the dynasty’s 16th-century palace in 1897, the Wodeyars commissioned the British architect Henry Irwin to build a new one. Today, the structure still continues to be the official residence of the royal family of Mysore.
