Sivaganga Palace, Royal palace in Sivaganga district, Tamil Nadu, India
The palace features a grand durbar hall, secret passages, and the Temple of Sri Raja Rajeshwari, with an 18-foot-high compound wall surrounding the complex.
The original palace from 1730 served as residence for three queens - Velu Nachiyar, Vellacci Nachiyar, and Rani Kaathama Nachiar before its reconstruction in the 19th century.
The palace grounds contain a black marble square with a carved seat used for judicial proceedings and royal coronation ceremonies during the dynastic period.
