Puthen Malika Palace
Nejlepší čas k návštěvě
Go early in the morning just after opening, when the sunlight falls at an angle between the carved wooden windows and the neighboring temple is still quiet. Weekdays before 11 also mean the fewest people in the museum's cramped upstairs rooms.
Tipy pro rozpočet
Entry is cheap, a few tens of rupees, with a lower price for Indians and children, and cash is needed since cards don't always work. Ask at the ticket office about a combination ticket, it covers several sights in the neighborhood and makes the whole visit cheaper.
Doporučeno pro
History buffs, Music lovers, Architecture and craft enthusiasts, Families with curious children

O atrakcí
Rychlá fakta: Horní patro spočívá na 122 ručně řezaných dřevěných konich, všechny vyřezané z jedného kusu masívného teaku. Mahárádža, který zde žil, složil přes 400 klasických písní a dal dvorným muzikantom hrát každý večer.
Zajímavosti: Na horním balkónu 122 dřevěných koní nesú střechu, každý vyřezaný z jedného kusu teaku s jiným výrazom tváře. Večery tu kdysi napĺňala živá muzika, mahárádža sám seděl za instrumentem mezi belgickými zrcály a křištálovými lustry.
Insider tipy
- Take off your shoes at the entrance and keep your shoulders and knees covered, the palace is next to an active temple.
- Visit on a weekday before 11, then you'll have the balcony with the wooden horses almost to yourself.
- Stand in backlight against the window when photographing the horses, then the teak grain lights up.
- Skip public holidays, then pilgrims stream to the temple next door and the queue gets long.
