The Lalit Mahal Palace, is very close Chamundi Hills (which we could not visit during this trip). We were told my its manager, that it was built in 1921 by Krishna Raja Wadiyar (1884 - 1940), the then Maharaja of Mysore, excusively for the stay of then Viceroy of India.
Below are few of the photo taken by me in the palace.

This carpet was stitched by our freedom fighters in the jail and was used in one of the halls. After independence, as a respect to all those freedom fighters, this carpet has been hung on the wall outside the main bedroom, which is now like the presidential suite.
A beautiful night lamp...in that suite....
Bath tub with shower setup used by the Viceroy
Myself and Rakesh in the teak + silk sofa in the main suite...
