Daria Daulat Bagh Palace
The walls of Daria Daulat Bagh palace in Shrirangapattna (spelled as
Seringapatan in the old English archives) fort in Karnataka contain
beautiful historic paintings. Hyder Ali commenced its construction in 1778
and his son Tippu Sultan (1753-1799) had it completed in 1784 A.D.
Constructed as a summer palace, Daria Daulat Bagh (the name indicates that
it was built with the wealth acquired from sea-trade) is surrounded by a
large garden on the southern bank of the Kaveri river. Its saracenic
architecture is displayed on a platform that is a foot high. The western
wall has large battle scenes representing Colonel Bailey's defeat at
Kancheevaram in 1780 A.D. Hyder Ali and Tippu Sultan are shown in the
midst of their troops with the Nizam's army arriving too late to help the
British. On the eastern wall are court scenes, Rajas and Palegars (kings
and courtiers). They include: the Chittur Queen, Mohamed Ali, Balaji with
his queen, the King of Tanjavoore, Veer Raj of Kodagu, Somanath of Sindha,
the Nawabs of Archat and Kadolpa, Balaji Bajirao Peshva, Madakari Nayak of
Chitradurga, and Rani Chennamma of Kittur.
