| Fernhills Palace | Story |
|
|
| |
 |
|
|
| Situated at about 6000 feet above
sea level Fernhills appears to float
towards the clouds, the early morning
sun burning off the dew. An occasional
mist wisps away and the shimmering
palace boldly reveals herself to the
world. Radiating a history laden with
romance and chivalry, an epoch that
began at the height of the British Raj,
a legacy that is vibrant and alive
today. |
| |
| The epic saga of Fernhills Palace
dates back to 1844, when Captain F.
Cotton of the Madras Engineers Regiment
built the first `Fernhill Bungalow’. As
the years passed and its owner changed,
Fernhills too changed its name and its
usage. At one time it was Ooty’s famous
Club Hotel `Moonisami’ and some say that
even today, in the midst of a still
night, you can hear the Ballroom echo
with the laughter of ladies, the
excitement of bets won or lost, the
piano’s tinkling notes and the soft
glide of dancing feet. |
| |
| Even more fascinating is the story
of a twelve-year old prince who had
bought the then 40 acres of Fernhill
property for Rs. 10,000. The year was
1873 and Fernhills had found a new,
royal, owner. His Highness Chamarajendra
Wadiyar X, the first Indian Royal to buy
an English holding in Ooty. Since then
Fernhills palace has been with the
Wadiyar dynasty and today it continues
in the capable hands of His Highness
Srikanta Datta Narasimharaja Wadiyar |
