Erected in 1861 under the reign of Krishnaraja Wodeyar, Jaganmohan Palace lies westwards of Mysore Palace. When Mysore Palace was damaged by fire, it was built as a royal residence, and the royal family stayed there till 1897. A part of it has now been turned into a museum and is known as Jaganmohan Palace Art Gallery cum Museum.

Jaganmohan Palace in Mysore is a must-visit for all art connoisseurs; it was founded in 1915. Later, in 1955, under the name of Jayachamarajendra Wodeyar, it was renamed the Sri Jayachamarajendra Art Gallery. Artwork and artifacts from all over Southern India can be displayed here. The entry gate is no less regal; it has beautiful, delicate carvings.
