Answer:
Mysore Palace is the fourth palace built on the same location since the beginning of the Wodeyar dynasty in 1399. Designed by the British architect Henry Irwin who designed several other important buildings of British India, the palace is a masterpiece of Indo-Saracenic design, which blends together Hindu, Muslim, Rajput, and Gothic styles of architecture. The current palace was designed to be made on the remains of the earlier palace, which was destroyed by fire at the wedding ceremony of a beautifu; princess Jayalakshmmanni in 1897. Construction was completed in 1912.
There are four entrances to the palace, aligned to the cardinal points. Inside, surrounded by tile work and huge pillars, the palace hosts a portrait gallery, an armory, and collections of costume and jewelry. Every fall during the festival of Dasara, the golden royal throne is displayed.
