    You could ask the kids to count how many carved doors the mausoleum has and then compare that to the number of gates at Srirangapatna Fort. The kids often notice the dome’s shadow pattern, which changes with the sun a quick way to talk about how Tipu Sultan used architecture for defense and symbolism. If you’re staying at KK Comforts, it’s a short walk back and a good spot for a quick break.
