i had no idea, how big it’s but I searched in Google and find out some interesting information.
The main hall of the Glass House also known as Crystal Palaceis spread across 160 ft X 80 ft. Two wings perpendicular to it measure 60ft X 40ft each.
The development of the Lalbagh garden, spread across 25 acres today , was commissioned by ruler of Mysuru, Haider Ali, in 1760 and was completed by his son Tipu Sultan.
