Ferrnhills
Royaal Palace
Ooty,
Code No- AT-TM05
India
is a land of history, legends and kingdoms. Many palaces in
India are witness to sensational stories that unfolded in those
very corridors centuries ago and have been retold for generations.
Today many of these famed palaces have been converted into palace
hotels in India. Ferrnhills RoyaalPalace, a part of Wadiyar
dynasty, is a palace that offers the best of regality and hospitality,
midst the rolling hills of Ooty.
The
Wadiyar dynasty which began in chivalry continues its traditions
until today. The royal head of this dynasty is traditionally
known as Maharaja of Mysore. The ever popular thirteenth-century
shrine in Mysore Palace continues to attract visitors today,
bearing witness to the birth and continued glory of the dynasty.
It
was on a fateful day in 1399 AD when two young men, Vijaya and
Krishna of the Yadu dynasty were returning back to their homeland,
Dwarka, in present day Gujarat, after a pilgrimage, when they
happened to stop by the temple, dedicated to Kodi Bhyraveshwara.
Here they overheard women talking of the distressed princess
Devajammani. The death of her father, Chamaraja, the local ruler,
had turned the neighbouring Chief of Karugahalli, Maranayaka
into an opportunist who began demanding the kingdom and the
princess in marriage. Seeking the help of a Jangama Odeya ,
a Shaivite religious man, the two brothers began mobilizing
troops and succeeded in overcoming the Karugahalli Chief. The
princess married the elder brother, who took the name of Vijaya
Raja Wadiyar and the title of Yaduraya, becoming the first ruler
of the Wadiyar dynasty. Thus began the history of a royal lineage
which has continued over six centuries until today, to the 26th
holder of the title, His Highness Srikanta Datta Narasimha Raja
Wadiyar. From a kingdom of 30 villages and 300 soldiers, the
kingdom of Mysore expanded to encompass 35,000 square miles
by the time of Chikka Deva Raja Wadiyar (1645-r.1673-1704).Ooty
was a part of Maharaja of Mysore's territory. Ferrnhills RoyaalPalace
is listed among the historical places in Ooty. It was also the
first property purchased by an Indian monarch in the British
stronghold of Ooty.
