Housing Tipu's Summer Palace, the Daria Daulat Bagh in Bangalore stands testimony to Tipu's love of greenery and open spaces.
This was where the battle fatigued Sultan came after his vicious confrontations with the British, to relax in and recuperate his strength in its calm surroundings. The Summer Palace with graceful proportions and arabesque work in rich colors is a fine example of Saracenic architecture
The wooden pillars supporting the trefoil arches lead to halls with attractive paintings on the walls. Tipu's confrontations at the battlefields are depicted with all the gruesome details in these mural paintings.
The palace also houses the Tipu Sultan Museum - the first of its kind in the nation devoted wholly to one person. The Museum has a rare set of coins, paintings and personal belongings of the Sultan.
