The Mysore Palace The palace also known as Amba Vilas Palace, is a historical palace and the royal residence (house) at Mysore in the Indian state of Karnataka. It is used to be the official residence of the Wadiyar dynasty and the seat of the Kingdom of Mysore. The land on which the palace now stands was originally known as mysuru (literally, "citadel"). Yaduraya built the first palace inside the Old Fort in the 14th century, which was set ablaze and reconstructed multiple times. The old fort was built of wood and thus easily caught fire. The current fort was built of stone, bricks and wood. The current structure was constructed between 1897 and 1912, after the Old Palace burned down and the current structure is also known as the new fort. #photography .. #noisecash #randomthoughts ... #travel
