One of the major sights at Mysuru, the one that is best known, is the Mysore Palace, which is the largest of all palaces in India. Indo-Saracenic in design, the palace incorporates the Indian, Muslim, Rajput, and Gothic elements within its walls and structure. The beautifully carved wooden doors and stained-glass, multi colored ceilings make it a visual treat. The courtyards, galleries and rooms across the place make it a good tourist attraction, providing valuable and vivid information and visuals about the life and times of the Wadiyar rulers.Location: Mysuru City Centre, Mysuru, KarnatakaPrice: ₹100–₹120 per person (Indian visitors)Timing: 10:00 AM – 5:30 PMBest Time to Visit: October to March; evenings for palace illuminationThe walls of the palace museum display arms, photographs, paintings and regalia amongst other items.
