The Mahrajah's Palace is a magnificent three-storied structure with a five-storey tower designed by the English architect Henry Irwin, built out of local material. The colourful Dasara procession starts from the precincts of the Palace.

The famous Mysore palace also known as the Amba Villas Palace is one of the largest palaces in the country.

The palace was originally built of wood, which got burnt down in 1897 and was rebuilt in 1912. Henry Irwin, the architect of the Viceregal Lodge at Shimla, designed the Mysore Palace. It is a healthy combination of Dravidian, Indo-Sarcenic, Oriental and Roman styles. Once the residence of the erstwhile rulers of Mysore, this imperial palace is one of the largest in the country. It is managed by the Department of Archaeology and Museums of the Government of Karnataka.

It is beautifully restored and maintained
