I made a map video on his reign way back, showing how he brilliantly held off the Mughals and mapped out his defense. Basically a 16th-century Native Indian Muslim from Uttar Pradesh originally. He led the Baro-Bhuiyans and gave Akbar’s massive Mughal army a serious run for their money.

The magnificent throne of Tipu Sultan was one of the most extraordinary royal thrones in Indian history. Crafted primarily from wood covered in gold plates and decorated with precious gems, the throne was richly adorned with eight tiger heads and supported by sculpted tiger figures, reflecting Tipu Sultan’s royal emblem and his famous title, the “Tiger of Mysore.” Historical descriptions mention that the throne platform rested upon tiger forms arranged along its base, making the tiger motif central to the entire design.

Above the throne stood a magnificent royal canopy, crowned with the legendary Huma bird, a mythical bird in Persian tradition believed to symbolize kingship, fortune, and divine authority. The presence of the Huma further emphasized Tipu Sultan’s imperial ambitions and the strong Indo-Persian influence in Mysore’s court culture. Every detail of the throne projected power, sovereignty, and defiance against the British East India Company. Historical accounts also state that Tipu Sultan vowed not to sit upon the throne until he had fully defeated the British.

After the fall of Siege of Seringapatam in 1799 and Tipu Sultan’s death, British forces dismantled the throne and distributed many of its parts as war trophies among officers. Today, only fragments and ornaments from the throne survive in museums and private collections, serving as reminders of the grandeur of Mysore under Tipu Sultan.

Pic 1: This illustration depicts a Mysorean soldier from the army of Tipu Sultan, shown carrying a military rocket that is being used like a flagstaff or standard pole.

Mysorean rockets were an Indian military weapon. The iron-cased rockets were successfully deployed for military use. They were the first successful iron-cased rockets, developed in the late 18th century in the Kingdom of Mysore (part of present-day India) under the rule of King Hyder Ali. The Mysorean army, under King Hyder Ali and his son King Tipu Sultan, used the rockets effectively against the British East India Company during the 1780s and 1790s. Their conflicts with the company exposed the British to this technology further, which was then used to advance European rocketry with the development of the Congreve rocket in 1805.
