Sound-Light show in Thirumalai Nayakkar Mahal
There used to be a sound and light show at Thirumalai Nayakkar Mahal. But it was degraded (a few non-working lights, noise in speakers etc.) and gradually went out of operation. Efforts are on to revive it again.
Hope it doesn’t turn out as dumb as the earlier one. I’ve hosted an international traveller for a show of previous version (4 years back) and he was thoroughly disappointed.
The remaining one-fourth of Thirumalai Nayakkar’s Palace itself is a magnificent reminder of previous era. It is worth visiting there in the day time. It has also become a preferred cinema shooting location for song sequences.
But if you plan for an evening of Sound & Light show at Mahal, don’t set your hopes high.

I have been there many years back. As a small child, and i recall remembering the mosquito bites more than the sound and light show !
