English: The Palace of Mysore (Kannada: ಮೈಸೂರು ಅರಮನೆ) is a palace situated in the city of Mysore, state of Karnataka in southern India.
  • The palace was commissioned in 1897, and its construction was completed in 1912 in the Indo-Saracenic Revival style British colonial architecture.
  • It was the official residence of the former royal family of Mysore, and also housed the durbar (ceremonial meeting hall of the royal court). *Mysore has a number of historic palaces, and is commonly described as the City of Palaces.
