Tipu Sultan's summer palace, Bengaluru

One of the "attractions" in Bengaluru ... Tipu Sultan's summer palace ... in reality this looks like a smaller version of the main palace in Mysore.This had the front and back side as mirror images, with a garden to the front, and an empty pond to the rear.
Getting in required a ticket ... needed to purchase in a small booth ... but was a scrum down, with lots of pushing in ... after I got a ticket had to retreat out backwards forcefully

Around the corner was the Kote Venkataramana Swamy temple ... I wandered in thinking it led to the summer palace, but quickly retreated.
