Palace built in 1523, 1 km from the temple, with royal residence, theater, harem, pond and gardens

No other building in Madurai better illustrates the architectural style of the Nayaks. Built in 1523, the Nayak Tirumalai Palace, 1 km from the temple, is in the Indo-Saracenic style. Originally four times larger than today, it included the royal residence, a theater, a harem, a pond and gardens. Today it remains mainly a hall with carved vaults. Its most remarkable part is the dome of Swarga Vilasam. In 1822, under British rule, several renovation works were undertaken by Lord Napier.

Bien qu'il ne reste que peu d'éléments du palais originel ce bâtiment possède de remarquables coupoles avec des décorations et des piliers très beaux.
Par contre le petit musée qui est dans une des salles du palais présente peu d’intérêt. Les quelques pièces qui y sont ne sont pas mises en valeur et l'ensemble déçoit.
