About

Raja’s seat is a small pavilion with four pillars. These pillars are bridged by arches. The structure is built on a high level ground that is enhanced by wonderful surroundings. It is due to the beauty and ambience of this place, that the kings of Kodagu preferred spending time here.

Raja’s seat stands inside a splendid garden of seasonal flowers and musical fountains. The garden becomes a colourful sight when the flowering plants are in full bloom. The sunset point overlooks a valley and offers a spectacular view of green mist-laden mountains beyond the valley.
