Dariya Daulat Bagh was the summer palace of Tipu Sultan. Relatively modest in appearance, it has murals rendered by contemporary artists who depicted various battle field scenes recollecting the events from their memory. It was damaged during the siege of Srirangapatana and Arthur Wellesely had it restored and was redone at the instance of Lord Dalhousie in later years. Dariya Daulat Bagh was completed during the reign of Tipu Sultan in 1784 and the structure reflects Indo-Sarcenic architectural style and was the favourite resort of Tipu Sultan. Today it is a museum exhibiting coins, sketches of Tipu Sultan's sons, battle field scenes, arms and daggers, portrait paintings of various nobles, royal robes of Tipu apart from a 3-D painting of warrior Tipu, which, like the Monalisa, seem to meet your eye when viewed from any corner of the room.
