Shivappa Nayaka Palace & Museum, Shivamogga - History details

A rosewood 17th–18th‑century palace on the Tunga riverbank, named for Keladi ruler Shivappa Nayaka (r.1645–1660); some scholars credit construction to Hyder Ali (18th c.). Two‑storeyed durbar hall with lobed arches houses a state museum of Hoysala–Keladi sculptures and hero‑stones. Interesting: local lore says Maratha Rajaram once hid here. Special: museum hours 10:00–17:30, closed Mondays.
