Daria Daulat Bagh Palace, Srirangapatna, Karnataka.

Daria Daulat Bagh is a palace situated in the city of Srirangapatna, near Mysore in southern India. It is mostly made out of teakwood. Srirangapatna is an island in the river Kaveri, about 14 km from Mysore.

Daria Daulat Bagh also known as Tipu’s Summer Palace is located in Srirangapatna. Hyder Ali commenced its construction in 1778 and his son Tippu Sultan completed it in 1784 AD. The palace is surrounded by a large garden on the southern bank of the river.

The palace is not very impressive from the outside, as it has a simple exterior hence it takes visitors by surprise to see the rich work with such exquisite detailing inside. This summer palace has an adorable pigeon house on either side of the entrance where Tipu Sultan’s avian messengers were housed. The gardens surrounding the Dariya Daulat Bagh are beautifully manicured and maintained by the officials.
