Suralu is a tiny village situated amidst serene surroundings and scenic landscapes, about 40 kilometres from Udupi. Once a flourishing city, it was ruled by the feudatory Tolahars, who came under the Alupa kings. The Alupas ruled Barkur from the 9 the century to the end of 13th century AD. On entering this village, one finds the Suralu palace spread in anacre of land.
This is the only surviving monument of the Tolahars, the Tulu Jain royal family, which unfortunately is in a dilapidated condition. The speciality of this palace is that the entire building has been constructed using mud, wood, tiles and lime mortar. It is believed that this palace is the only authentic, surviving structure that has the architectural design of its time, built with locally available materials.
