Thirumalai Nayakkar Mahal

Madurai, India

Thirumalai Nayakkar Mahal is a palace located 2 km (1.2 mi) to the southeast of the Meenakshi Amman Temple in central Madurai, Tamil Nadu, India. It was built by Tirumala Nayaka, a king of the Madurai Nayak dynasty who ruled Madurai from 1623 to 1659, and was completed in 1636. The remaining structure is the main palace which served as the living quarters of the king, but the original palace complex was four times larger. It is now a protected national monument.
