The last dynasty of Tanjor was founded by Ekojî or Venkâjî, a half brother of Sivaji, the great Marâthâ chief, during the decline of the Madurâ dynasty in 1674-1675. The palace was probably commenced shortly afterwards, but the greater part of its buildings belong to the 18th century, and some extend even into the 19th.
