Jayalakshmi Vilas Mansion ಜಯಲಕ್ಷ್ಮೀ ವಿಲಾಸ್ ಅರಮನೆ

This place has three floors of vintage artwork from privileged painters from Wadiyar Era. You wish you were Jayalakshmi Ammani after visiting the space. Keep 30 minutes to see the legendary the girl with a lamp artwork. Love the way lights falls through the windows of this heritage structure. Great place for introverts.

Impressive architecture. It's a heritage building. There is nothing inside. You can Spend 15 minutes admiring the architecture and walk around the building. There is no entry fee. It's inside the beautiful Mysore University campus

Great place with poor maintenance. You can spend 10 - 15 min admiring the architecture and then take a round in the peaceful Mysore University campus. It is closed inside you can only have a look from outside and wander in the passage. If you are short of time you can skip this place.

Heritage building.. could have been maintained and utilised properly 😢😢Rating is only for the sake of it’s heritage & structure.

Little is known about this palace as it is a short distance from the town. It is only good for those who like the Historical because not everyone will like it. Bustard is not very close to the palace. Own Vehicle or hired is Better
