    Mysore Palace stands as the heart of tourism in Mysore. Its grandeur and historical significance make it a key attraction that has helped shape the Mysore city\u2019s development and global reputation. It is undoubtedly the top place to visit in Mysore.<\/p>\r\n

    The current palace was constructed after the original one was damaged by a fire during the wedding of the then-royal family.<\/p>\r\n

    The foundation for the new palace was laid in 1897, under the guidance of architect Sir Henry Irwin<\/a>, and the construction was completed in 1912.\u00a0B.P. Raaghavulu Naidu<\/a><\/span>, the chief engineer, oversaw the project<\/span>.<\/p>\r\n

    Mysore Palace, a magnificent symbol of the city\u2019s royal heritage, holds a special place in my heart.<\/p>\r\n

    If you\u2019re visiting Mysore for just one day, this is the best place to start, as it sits right at the heart of the city. In fact, Mysore city has grown around the world-famous Mysore Palace AKA Amba Vilas Palace.<\/p>\r\n

    Living just two kilometers away, I see its majestic structure almost daily, whether I am passing by on my way to other parts of the city or visiting the nearby city bus stand.<\/p>\r\n

    Over the years, I\u2019ve explored the palace countless times, and each visit has left me with cherished memories.<\/p>\r\n

    Attending the Dasara festival<\/a> at the palace every year is a tradition I never miss.<\/p>\r\n

    During this time, the palace is illuminated with thousands of lights and becomes the center of grand celebrations.<\/p>\r\n
