Resting in the heart of Krishna Rajendra City Market is the elegant Palace of Tipu Sultan, notable for its teak pillars and ornamental frescoes. Though not as beautiful as the Mysore palace, this offbeat destination is worth a visit. After a walk in the palace, enjoy the freshness of the lush and natural beauty around.

Here is a visitor review:
Liked the architecture of mughalai times!!!! but being a south indian im used to seeing huge architecture.... the simple yet majestic palace reflects the greatness of Tipu Sultan. A ruler who appeared to have been more close to the earth and his people rather than being trapped by profane materialistic luxuries that most rulers indulged in. It is a big miss for those people especially those from outside of India to expect a lot out of this heritage site...it is pretty small and not much to describe about architectural beautiful facade.

Bugle Rock is a huge rock formation that can be seen at Basavangudi. It is supposed to be about 300o million years old and also has a watchtower which was built on it by Kempe Gowda II, and gives you a beautiful panorama of the city. There is a small park in the area which has waterfalls and fountains, in addition to two other Temples-Bull Temple and Dodda Ganesh Temple.
In Dodda Ganesh Temple rests an enormous idol of Lord Ganesha and the Bull Temple is a 16th century Dravidian style temple, containing a huge granite monolith of Nandi.

Here's a review on Bugle Rock
Bugle Rock Park encapsulated inside the M.N. Krishna Rao Park, Bangalore, is one of the grand old parks of the area. The park is visited by large number of joggers every morning. The waterfalls and fountains created using natural rock formations add beauty to the park. The Bull Temple and Ramakrishna Ashram are the nearby attraction. The park is also close to the airport and railway station.
