The Bangalore Palace was started in 1862 and completed in the year 1944. It is designed on the lines of the Windsor Castle in England and was constructed by Rev. Garrett. Rev. Garrett was the principal of the Central High School in Bangalore, which is now known as the Central College. In 1884, Chamaraja Wodeyar, the Maharaja of Mysore, bought this palace.

This palace is located in the heart of the city of Bangalore and is encircled with beautiful gardens. Primarily made of wood, the Bangalore Palace is famed for its carvings and paintings. At present, it is owned by the descendant of the royal family of Mysore, Srikanta Datta Narshimharaja Wadiyar. The palace ground is now used for holding musical concerts and other public events. Several rock bands and rock stars have performed here like the Black Eyed Peas, Sting, Scorpions, Deep Purple, Aerosmith, The Rolling Stones, Bryan Adams and Iron Maiden.

The palace was built in the Tudor style architecture with impressive towers, battlements and turrets. The interiors of the palace were decorated with woodcarvings, floral motifs, cornices and relief paintings on the ceiling. The furniture of the palace was neo-classical, Victorian and Edwardian in style and consisted of thirty-five rooms with most of them being bedrooms. The ground floor of the palace consists of an open courtyard with granite seats covered with ceramic tiles, which are fluorescent blue in colour. The ground floor also has a ballroom for holding private parties. On the first floor there is the Durbar Hall where the walls are painted yellow. In this hall there are several paintings of Raja Ravi Verma. The inside walls of the palace are decorated with old paintings, a dining table, which belongs to the Diwan of Mysore. On the table there is a mother of pearl inlay with Chinese lacquer work.

However the palace underwent renovation for the purpose of maintaining this historically relevant architecture.
