Thiba Palace, Ratnagiri
Ratnagiri
Heritage
Description
The palace was built in 1910 by the British to house arrest the Burma King, Thiba. He was the last ruler of Brahmadesh (today's Myanmar), where he ruled for seven years. The British army took over Brahmadesh & captured his land. To keep an eye on his rebellious activities, the British transferred him to Madras (Chennai) & then to Ratnagiri. Around 30 years of his life, King Thiba was under house arrest. The history of this unfortunate King is heartbreaking and underlines importance of the Palace

Speciality
This structure, a three-storied Brahmi-styled palace with garden spread over 27 acres of land, was built by the British army in Ratnagiri. The marble-floored dancing hall on the ground floor of Thiba palace is huge & spectacular. The wooden flooring and large dome-shaped windows with Italian-colored glasses make the Palace a royal place. Many ancient idols are on showcase here. The Buddha idol, placed at the back, was brought by King Thiba. This palace is surrounded by a well-maintained garden and fountains. Though fountains are not in action, they give a glimpse of the royal era. The Palace is converted into the musium, and the art exhibition on the top floor is worth visiting. The sloping roofs of the structure gives a complete historical experience. A viewpoint on the cliff, famous for observing the sunset, allows tourists to view Bhatye beach, Someshwar creek, and the Arabian sea in one glace
