PALACE & ART GALLERY
Just 1 km away from the Brahadeeswarar Temple is the
magnificent palace, surrounded by huge fort walls. Dating back to the
14th century A.D., it was built partly by the Nayaks and partly by the
Marathas. The Maratha royal family resided in this palace. It is a
fascinating building with huge corridors, spacious halls, decorated
rooms, tall observation towers, beautiful stucco works, wonderful
fresco painted walls and ceilings, . The royal family’s sacred “Chandramaulessshwarar Temple” is
located within the palace walls
The art gallery has a fabulous collection of
bronze icons, stone sculpture and pieces of art. The Collection is
unique for its representation of Hindu gods and goddesses, myths and
legends. The exhibits are priceless for their historical association.
