Noticeably the most beautiful structure right in front of the northern Palace gates, this statue dates back to 1918. Sculpted by the famous British sculptor Robert Colton, it stands majestically at the junction of Albert Victor road and Ashoka road. Made with the a white marble “Makrana” from Rajasthan, the same marble Taj Mahal is made of. The statue did not resemble the King Chamarajendra Wodeyar and hence the head had to be redone by an Indian sculptor G.K Mathre. The Circle was earlier named as Statue square but has been named as Sri Chamarajendra Wodeyar circle.
