A walk through Tipu Sultan’s Summer Palace with Sujatha Balakrishnan 

Born Sultan Fateh Ali Khan Shahab, Tipu Sultan, Tiger of Mysore or Tipoo sahib as addressed by the British, will always be remembered as one of the most powerful and valiant rulers that India ever had. The summer palace built by him in the Indo-Islamic architectural style is a visual treat.

Why did he adorn the title ”Tipu of Mysore”? What is Tipu’s “Khwab Nama”? What is the connection between Wilkie Collins bestselling novel “The Moonstone” and Tipu Sultan? 

If these questions have peaked your curiosity and you want to know about these and more, join us for the walk to the summer palace which is now converted into a museum!
