Tipu Sahib of Mysore (1750-1799): A Fierce and Visionary Ruler Tipu Sahib, also known as Tippoo Saib, was the Sultan of Mysore from 1782 until his death in 1799. Known for his military prowess and innovative tactics, Tipu Sahib posed a significant threat to the British East India Company's expanding territories in India. This collection showcases various depictions of Tipu Sahib, from portraits to battle scenes, as well as artifacts from his reign. The two rare bronze cannons, created between 1790 and 1791, were likely used in Tipu Sahib's military campaigns. Tipu Sahib's peacock is a symbol of his wealth and power, while the grand buffet in St. Georges Hall reflects the opulence of his court. The poignant image of Tipu Sahib's family mourning his death underscores the human cost of war. Despite the British victory in the Siege of Srirangapatna, Tipu Sahib's legacy continues to inspire, with his innovative military strategies and vision for a united India influencing later leaders.
