Puthen Malika Palace
Beste tid å besøke
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.
Budsjettips
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.
Anbefalt for
History buffs, Music lovers, Architecture and craft enthusiasts, Families with curious children

Om
Raske fakta: Overetasjen hviler på 122 håndskårne trehester, alle hogd ut av eneste stykker massiv teak. Maharajaen som bodde her komponerte over 400 klassiske sanger og lot hoffmusikere spille hver kveld.
Høydepunkter: På den øvre balkongen bærer 122 trehester taket, hver og en hogd ut av et eneste stykke teak med ulike ansiktsuttrykk. Kveldene her ble en gang fylt av levende musikk, maharajaen satt selv ved instrumentene blant belgiske speil og krystalllysekroner.
Insidertips
- 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.
