Colonel Bailey's Dungeon

Right across from Ranganatha Swamy temple inside the Tipu's fort in Srirangapatnam lies this secret dungeon underground, unobtrusive from outside. But here's where Tipu used to imprison British prisoners, chained to the walls. Col. Bailey died here in 1782 A.D.

Mural from Tipu's Summer Palace

Summer Palace

Tipu Sultan's summer palace in Srirangapatnam near Mysore. It's drab-looking from outside, but the paintings on the walls inside, depicting the battles and victories of Tipu and his father Hyder Ali, are simply outstanding. After Tipu was killed in 1799 in a battle with the British, this palace was occupied by Col. Arther Wellesley, who would later be known as the Duke of Wellington.
