Bangalore Palace - A touch of history inside the city

Bangalore Palace is a touch of history inside the city. You can plan a half day visit to this place when you are in Bangalore. Though the palace does not really match with the palace is that you usually see or expect in Rajasthan or other parts of India, it still has many artifacts to offer to your visual delight.

 Interesting Lamp 




You can also catch up on some of the photograph of the royal family of the Wadiyar's. At the Palace you have to purchase entry ticket which also includes audio visual auto guide. It is good idea to get this guide because it explains almost all of the main important points inside the palace. 

When we last visited during May 2017 the ticket price was around 240 rupees per person for Indian national. For mobile and still camera there are different tickets to be purchased. So far there is no card payment facility available to do carry a decent amount of change.

  Soothing interiors

The exterior of the palace built into the Tudor architecture with fortified towers, battlements and turrets. 
Inside the palace intricate wooden wooden carving and very decent nice colour decorations can be seen. 



Only a part of the palace is accessible to visitors and rest of the part is also used for wedding and other ceremonies. One can in all 2 floors of the palace with access to Darbar all and upper level exhibits area. Ample parking is available on the palace ground.  As not many eateries are available around it is good idea to carry your own water and some snacks.

Pebble or Stone painting

A day of yet another activity for kids..My LO have this hobby of collecting these pebbles where ever we go. So we decided to decorate them with paints and thus I can engage him for yet another 1-2 hours ;) Activity Level: Easy (Some adult help need for kids <=5 yrs) Supplies: Pebbles/stones preferably rounded ones, acrylic colors, paint brushes (0 number and flat), water/cloth to clean your brushes, waste newspapers to use as base for coloring No rocket science again..color your stones in vibrant color with flat brush. If required apply 2 coats. Once the base dries, decorate as per your choice. Here I am sharing some ideas.  You can also use poster colors or water colors if acrylic colors are not handy. But then you have to very careful not to get your decorated stones in contact of water! The one colored in blue below is done with poster colors.
