Nalknad Palace, Royal palace in Kodagu district, India.

The palace features laterite stone walls, wooden pillars, sloping roofs with tiles, and spacious verandas spread across multiple levels.

Built between 1792 and 1794, the palace served as the final stronghold for Chikka Veerarajendra before British forces removed him from power.

The wooden doors and windows display traditional Kodava motifs and ornate carvings that demonstrate the craftsmanship of regional artisans.

Located 30 kilometers from Madikeri, visitors can reach the palace through marked routes and explore the structure between October and March.

The palace walls contain original murals depicting scenes from daily life during the reign of the Haleri dynasty in the 18th century.
