Statue of Chamaraja Wadiyar at Chamaraja Circle aka Statue Square.
He died of diptheria at the age of 31. A marble statue sculpted by William Robert Colton (who also sculpted the 8 bronze tigers inside the palace) was commissioned in his honor. When the statue arrived from England in 1918, the queen realized that it looked nothing like her late husband, so she had the head broken off and redone. Also, his sword is stolen very often by miscreants.
