Let me take you to one such place which was the Abode of Happiness for the much renowned emperor of Mysore, Tipu Sultan till his last breath. The palace is known as Tipu Sultan Palace or the Summer Palace of Tipu Sultan but the emperor called it the Rash – e – Jannat which means the Abode of Happiness. This beautiful palace was created in a time period of ten years from 1781 to 1791. Though this palace looks quite similar to the other palace of Tipu Sultan named Daria Daulat. The palace work was initiated by Hyder Ali in 1781 but the entire palace could be completed only after ten years when Tipu Sultan was in Power in Bangaluru. It is situated within the walls of the Bangaluru fort.The entire palace is built using good quality teak wood. There magnificent pillars, arches, balconies clearly reflecting the indo Islamic architecture. The structure is adorned with floral motifs and carved arches. The Palace is comprised of many rooms as well as balconies. It is supposed that the Emperor used these balconies on the eastern and western side on the first floor to conduct the court (durbar). A well built path having green gardens on both the sides leads you to the entrance of the palace which has several designer arches. The rooms on the first floor are now converted into the museum by Government of Karnataka and currently it is managed and maintained by the Archaeological Survey of India. This museum displays mainly the achievements of emperor Tipu Sultan and his Administration.By exploring this museum you get to the Emperor and his life events. The inscriptions here explain the significant reforms in the field of revenue system brought in by Tipu Sultan in the state of Mysore. Apart from these the museum also displays various paintings of the palace during the eighteenth century (1800). A replica of the toy of Tipu known as Tipu’s tiger is quite an eye catcher.

The painting of grand throne is also a part of this museum. Tipu Sultan died in the year 1799 during the Fourth Anglo Mysore war.
