Our ancient buildings were strong and well ventilated @Ssiddharth2000 and we should preserve them for sure. It was a wow moment when I saw the palace. Thanks for your wishes and compliments.

Athangudi Palace is an incredible visual treat, but what wins my heart is its natural sustainability! 
What really grabbed my attention throughout your breakdown is the inherent sustainability built into every square foot. From the sun-cured, locally produced Athangudi tiles to the natural cooling created by the open-sky thinnai courtyards and terracotta roof air-gaps, traditional builders knew how to create thermal comfort without consuming energy.
The open courtyards designed for passive cooling, those legendary sun-dried handmade tiles, and natural lighting showcase eco-friendly Indian architecture at its finest.
Thank you dear @Gurukrishnapriya ji for documenting this cultural gem with such clear mapping details and mindful storytelling!

Fascinating post, @Gurukrishnapriya!
The architecture of Athangudi Palace is truly stunning. It is amazing to see the mix of European influence with traditional Indian craftsmanship, from the peacock tile patterns to the Burma teakwood and ornate tiles.
I especially love the natural lighting and ventilation design, as well as the unique traditional Stucco technique.
Thank you for sharing such detailed insights and helpful tips!

That’s really a nice feedback @KetanChhaniyara and I know your keen interest when it comes in terms of sustainability. It was a wow expression from everyone the moment you enter inside the palace. Actually I thought that the brightness of the hall is because of lights. To my surprise I noticed that it is because of the ventilation. Your analysis of each and every materials used and the techniques used in the construction is really adorable. Hats off to the marvellous engineering.
I still remember my old house has a centre square opening to the sky. Nowadays a gap in between 2 buildings is scarce to see.
Thank you very much for liking the sustainability measures and giving your valuable comments and feedback. I am glad you liked my post.

Thank you very much @Katarina_Cibikova , very true that this palace is very fascinating and this made my post more fascinated. The traditional stucco plastering is still fresh and shining, though this is more than a century ago. There were many such big big houses and big Palaces, but many require maintenance. Recently thanks to the awareness and many houses are being renovated. I am glad that you liked the natural ventilation.
So true, Modern cities could learn so much from that open-to-sky ethos instead of packing buildings wall-to-wall.
Thank you for such a heartfelt reply.
Warm regards,

Thank you very much @SonamW and I know that you will find those post interesting. I am happy that I could narrate in such a way that you could visualize the palace. The moment we entered the palace, we felt the wow factor. you could observe that the hall has a very tall ceiling. I am really happy that I now started exploring places inside our country itself. Our country has rich cultural Heritage. Really a must to visit place.
