Raja'S Seat Garden, Madikeri - History details

Raja’s Seat, a brick‑and‑mortar pavilion with four arches, was the preferred sunrise and sunset viewpoint of Kodagu’s rulers from about 1600 to 1834 CE. Perched above Madikeri’s western cliffs in the Western Ghats, it overlooks paddy valleys and coffee hills. A musical fountain and toy train add charm. On 30 January each year, Sarvodaya/Martyrs’ Day is observed at the adjacent Gandhi Mantap with solemn tributes.
