It had been the seat of the Wadiyar dynasty, which ruled the Kingdom of Mysore, for centuries.
The original palace dates back to the 14th century, but, it was rebuilt between 1897 and 1912 after the original wooden structure was destroyed in a fire.
It has an area of 25 acres and the main building covers one-and-a-half acres. There are 340 rooms, halls, and corridors.
With that many rooms, it could be a great place to collect decorating ideas.
