Description

Gangalamurthi (Gangala Moorthy) il s'agit d'une des 64 formes de Shiva Xè siècle Thiruvidaimaruthur granit Musée du palais

Le palais du roi Thirumalai (1623-1659), le plus grand souverain Nayak, a été construit en 1636 à Madurai. Il a été conçu dans un style hybride indo-moghol, en partie par un architecte italien, certaines parties restaurées par les anglais vers 1870 sont influencées par le style européen de l'époque victorienne (appelé en anglais indo-saracenic style)

Lorsque la capitale du royaume a été déplacée à Tiruchirapalli, le palais a été en partie détruit puis abandonné par le petit-fils du roi Thirumalai.

Le centre du palais était occupé par une grande cour rectangulaire entourée de galeries voûtées de 20m de haut, soutenues par des piliers monumentaux, caractéristique de l'architecture de la dynastie Nayak. Cette cour restaurée sert à des représentations artistiques (photo)

Le décor des voutes (stuc, peintures...) est de grande qualité, il a été rétabli au XIXè siècle.

Un musée de sculptures d'époque Chola a été installé dans l'ancienne salle de danse : le Natakasala mais il est malheureusement aussi mal entretenu qu'il est mal éclairé.
