Dariya Daulath Bagh , Mysore

     The summer palace Dariya Daulath (meaning "wealth of the sea") with its ornate arches and ceiling, breath taking range of classical paintings, was Tippu�s favourite retreat, which now houses a museum with a fabulous collection of rare coins, paintings and personal belongings of Tippu. The remains of Tippu's beautiful palace, Lal Mahal, are visible even now in the high enclosures of the fort. The British, who used it for some time as a military post, after killing Tippu demolished the greater part of this palace. There are two dungeons, one at the northeast corner of the fort and the other, a bigger one, which is near the Ranganatha temple. It is said that Tippu had kept Dhondia Wagh, a Maratha warrior in the former and some British prisoners in the latter.
