We have been visiting Shimoga on our way to native. This time we planned of exploring this place, during our visit. So we got down at Shimoga and joined our parents from native. Our plan was to start off with Sakrebailu Elephant Camp, but due to delay of our bus, we had to change our travel plan and thought of visiting Shivappa Nayaka Palace. Thanks to Shrinidhi Hande and Anuradha Shankar's blogs, for, we got to know about this Palace.
Unfortunately we visited on a state holiday and the museum was closed, on request we were just allowed within the campus.
Built in 16th century, this was used by Keladi Nayakas as summer sojourn. The palace under went several renovations to take its present form and is presently under ASI. The structure is a two storey building, with rosewood carvings.
The palace is with in city limits on Kote Road. There is no entry fee and the Palace is closed on Public Holidays.
Look for: Koodli Tunga-Bhadra Sanagama
Thank you, magiceye...
