Raja's Seat, Monument of National Importance in Madikeri, India.
Raja's Seat stands on elevated ground with four pillars connected by arches, overlooking the valleys and cliffs of the Kodagu district in Karnataka.
The kings and queens of Kodagu selected this strategic location as their recreational spot during their rule from 1600 to 1834 CE.
Every January 30th, the site hosts Sarvodaya Diwas ceremonies with Gandhi's ashes, recitals from religious texts, and floral tributes to honor martyrs.
Located 270 kilometers from Bangalore, the monument includes maintained pathways through gardens that lead visitors to different observation points.
The structure sits within Gandhi Mantap garden where specific weather conditions create temperatures notably different from surrounding areas throughout the year.
