The Lalitha Mahal Palace is located on the outskirts of Mysore city near Chamundi Hills. The palace was built in 1921 at the orders of His Highness Krishnaraja Wodeyar IV, the Maharaja of Mysore.
This magnificent palace in the middle of the garden is the second largest palace in the city. The two storied palace was designed by E.W. Fritchley, and constructed by Munivenkatappa. The palace built in Renaissance architectural style resembles the St. Paul’s Cathedral in London.
It has a projecting porch in the front. Spherical domes with the dominating central dome sets the front elevation of the palace. Painted in pure white color with green color in the background it looks elegant.
It has been converted into a heritage hotel in 1974. However, the splendor of the palace has been maintained.
