Mysuru: Even as the nearly 157-year-old Jaganmohan Palace is going hi-tech, Pramoda Devi Wadiyar, who has set up the H H Sri Srikantadatta Narasimharaja Wadiyar Foundation, is keen on taking up many other works related to art and culture.
As a first step, apart from Conservation Laboratory, she is planning to establish the Wadiyar Heritage Centre at Chamundi Vihar Mansion on Bannur Road, adjacent to Chamundi Vihar Stadium. There is a stately old building here which has been lying unused for years. Here is where the mother of the last ruler of Mysuru, Jayachamaraja Wadiyar, Kempacheluvarajammani lived. After her passing away, her daughter Sujaya Devi also lived here.
