Sathyavijayanagaram Palace, Arni

Sathyavijayanagaram, on the banks of the Kamandala Naganadi about 5 km from Arni, was founded in 1825 by Venkatanatha Rao as the capital of the Arni Jagir. The Arni rulers built two 19th-century palaces here, including a two-storey Diwan Khane with circular brick pillars, arches, Gothic columns and Madras-terrace roofing. The estate palaces survive as heritage relics of the Maratha jagirdars of Arni.
