Puthen Malika Palace
Najlepší čas na návštevu
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 na 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.
Odporúčané pre
History buffs, Music lovers, Architecture and craft enthusiasts, Families with curious children

O
Rýchle fakty: Horné poschodie spočíva na 122 ručne vyrezávaných drevených koňoch, všetky vytesané z jediných kusov masívneho teakového dreva. Maharadža, ktorý tu žil, skomponoval vyše 400 klasických piesní a nechal každý večer hrať dvorných hudobníkov.
Zaujímavosti: Na hornom balkóne nesie strechu 122 drevených koní, každý vytesaný z jediného kusa teakového dreva s rôznymi výrazmi tváre. Večery tu kedysi napĺňala živá hudba, maharadža sám sedával pri nástrojoch medzi belgickými zrkadlami a krištáľovými lustrami.
Insiderské 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.
