Mysore Palace

The current structure was constructed between 1897 and 1912, after the Old Palace was burnt into ashes during the 1896 Dasara festivities. The palace was further expanded in around 1930 to include the addition of the present Public Durbar Hall wing. The architectural style of domes of the palace is commonly described as Indo-Saracenic, with blends of Hindu, Mughal, Rajput, and Gothic styles. It is a three-story stone structure with marble domes, and has a 145-foot five-story tower.
