Mysore is a relatively small town (pop. less than 1M). So when I went to the palace, I wasn't expecting much. What I didn't realize is that the Kingdom of Mysore used to be enormous - it constituted almost the entire southern tip of India. It existed for 550 years. I was impressed. Most of the palace isn't open to visitors, but the level of detail was stunning. The ceilings were particularly intricate, and were often carved with five to ten different kinds of inlaid wood.
