Jaganmohan Palace Art Gallery And Auditorium

One of the oldest buildings of Mysore, this palace was the palace where the Royal family had resided after the old Mysore palace was burnt during the wedding of Chamaraja Wodeyar’s eldest daughter. Old Mysore palace was built with wood in the year of 1861. Unfortunately a fire broke and burnt the entire structure.

The then ruler of Mysore Krishnaraja Wodeyar III built an alternate residence for the royal family in 1861. However, owing to the fire in the Old Mysore Palace in 1897, royal family shifted to jaganmohan Palace. Jaganmohan Palace was the home for Mysore royal family from 1897 to the year 1912. Until the construction of new Mysore palace was completed, which was in 1912, the Royals of Mysore stayed here.
