Mysuru Palace (Amba Vilas)

The seat of the Wadiyar dynasty and the city's crown jewel. The present Indo-Saracenic palace, designed by Henry Irwin, was completed in 1912 after a fire destroyed the earlier wooden one. On Sunday and holiday evenings, and through Dasara, it is lit up by nearly 100,000 bulbs.
