Jaganmohan Palace (Sri Jayachamarajendra Art Gallery)
ಜಗನ್ಮೋಹನ ಅರಮನೆ
An 1861 royal palace now serving as an art gallery, with paintings by Raja Ravi Varma and the famous Lamp-Bearing Woman.
After a fire in 1897 damaged the Mysore Palace, the royal family lived here for a time. In 1915 it was converted into an art gallery. The collection of about 2,000 pieces includes oil paintings by the modern Indian painter Raja Ravi Varma, traditional Mysuru gold-leaf paintings, musical instruments and clocks. The best-known work is Haldankar's Lamp-Bearing Woman, whose lamplight looks almost real in the picture. Open roughly 08:30–17:30. Entry costs about 120 rupees, and photography is prohibited. It is about a 10-minute walk from Mysore Palace.
