What a sad yet noble story. the picture is perfect.
Interesting legend! Very splendid Palace!
Marvelous edifice! But a rather tragic story behind it! Thanks for showcasing!
Tragic tale..
Hi Rajesh! I think I'm giving up... Will never have time to see all the marvels you show us... ;). Just keep posting!!
Meanwhile, as I’m in the office, Blogtrotter Two is on the beach... Enjoy and have a great week!
Such beautiful architecture in your country. I have longed for 50 years to come to India. I am part of the Sister of Charity of Nazareth that settled several missionary sites in India 50 years ago. I am an associate of the sisters. That means I am married have children and take part in much of the work the sisters do. I wish I could remember the names of the towns they are in.
Blessings to you.

this state looks like full of wonderful historical architecture.
Your posts are always so informative and educational. This is an amazing story...so tragic, but so full of devotion. What a beautiful structure to be built in tribute. Indian architecture is so amazingly complex and detailed...so beautiful.

A sad story! Great shot of the monument.
Beautiful pictures and beautiful building, but such a sad legend to go with it. I've missed a few days of your travels so I'll go back and catch up now.
Fantastic as always, Rajesh.
The legend is rather tragic, but the palace itself is absolutely beautiful.
Beautiful building. Thanks for sharing the history of the building.
Would be wonderful to be there.
Great architecture and photos, Rajesh. Thanks for always sharing us your place.
Are those arches (at the top of the steps) made of wood, Rajesh?It looks very intricately carved.
Such a pity that such a lovely building had its origins in tragedy.
What a sad story... and an impressive building.
Every monument has a history and some of them are not necessarily happy endings, I guess this is one of them, thanks for sharing with your followers...Thomas
very informative post and excellent photo too.
That is beautiful, what a stunning imagery. I have to tell you that on TV the other day they showed the movie "Dor", it was one of the most beautiful and touching movies I have ever seen... It also showed some beautiful parts of India...
