The palace was built in 1836 but not for the accommodation of royals. It was a sanatorium for British forces and later a school. It was later bought over by the Kasmanda royal family who made it their summer home and then a palace hotel. They still own the property, and the memorabilia around will take you back in time.
12. Lalitha Mahal Palace, Mysore
The palace was built by the ruler to accommodate his guests and lies a few kilometers away from Mysore. The palace is currently run by the Indian government and several parts of the property require urgent mending.
