Puthen Malika Palace
Periodo migliore per visitare
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.
Consigli per il budget
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.

Informazioni
Fatti rapidi: Il piano superiore poggia su 122 cavalli di legno intagliati a mano, tutti scolpiti da un unico blocco di teak massiccio. Il maharaja che abitava qui compose oltre 400 canti classici e faceva suonare i musicisti di corte ogni sera.
Punti salienti: Sul balcone superiore 122 cavalli di legno sorreggono il tetto, ciascuno scolpito da un unico blocco di teak con espressioni diverse. Le serate qui un tempo erano piene di musica dal vivo, il maharaja sedeva lui stesso agli strumenti tra specchi belgi e lampadari di cristallo.
Consigli da insider
- 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.
