The palace of Tirumalai Nayak is about 1 km from the temple. This Indo-Saracenic building was constructed in 1523 and was originally four times as large as it is today. The palace displays the architectural style of the Nayaks.

The Swarga Vilasam (the audience hall) is one of the most remarkable features of the palace. Its dome rises up to a height of 20 m without any support and is an engineering marvel in itself. You can watch the sound and light shows on the life of Tirumalai Nayak and the story of Silappathikaram (a Tamil classic). These shows are held here every evening in both English and Tamil.
