Today's view from Beerangi medai

The stuccowork lotus-flower room in the Arsenal Tower at Thanjavur Palace (Art gallery).

The Kalyana Mahal Chathram, was renovated by maharajah Serfoji II after his Varanasi pilgrimage, is in a stunning location on the Kaveri river bank and is currently the premises of a music college. The balusters in the roof are remarkable stucco work, and mimic the gooseberry in the finial designs. Though rapidly degenerating, one can see faint traces of frescoes on some walls. These frescoes in their heyday must have been gorgeous sights since they are large and inset with mirror pieces that reflect the muted light that fall on them. source: the hindu
