Puthen Malika Palace
Melhor época para visitar
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.
Dicas para economizar
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.

Sobre
Fatos rápidos: O andar superior repousa sobre 122 cavalos de madeira esculpidos à mão, todos talhados em peças únicas de teca maciça. O marajá que morava aqui compôs mais de 400 canções clássicas e mandava os músicos da corte tocarem todas as noites.
Destaques: Na varanda superior, 122 cavalos de madeira sustentam o teto, cada um esculpido em uma única peça de teca com diferentes expressões faciais. As noites aqui foram um dia preenchidas por música ao vivo, o marajá se sentava ele próprio aos instrumentos em meio a espelhos belgas e lustres de cristal.
Dicas de quem conhece
- 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.
