🐅 This 240-year-old mechanical tiger could GROWL and play MUSIC! Tipu Sultan's extraordinary automaton was both a technological marvel and a powerful symbol of resistance. 💪 Long before the digital age, Mysuru's legendary ruler Tipu Sultan commissioned a remarkable innovation - a life-sized wooden tiger mauling a European soldier. This wasn't just an artistic statement; it was an engineering achievement that featured a sophisticated musical mechanism. When activated, it produced realistic tiger growls and the cries of the fallen soldier, showcasing the advanced craftsmanship of 18th century Mysuru artisans. Known as "Tipu's Tiger," this masterpiece symbolized the Sultan's fierce resistance against British colonial forces and his self-identification with the powerful tiger. Today, this precious piece of our heritage resides in London's Victoria and Albert Museum, a testament to the innovative spirit and political defiance that characterized Mysuru's most celebrated ruler.
