: Does anyone happen to know where the palace is where the location shots in TOD were filmed? I'm working in India for a year and thought it might be fun to visit the site if possible (presuming it wasn't just a backlot and matte painting).

What you see in the film was indeed a matte painting, but the palace used as a model exists, presumably in Jaipoor, India where the production company wanted to film exteriors, but were given too many creative restrictions by the Indian government, so actual filming in India was abandoned, using Sri Lanka for location shooting.(source:Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom Official Collectors Edition) Hope this helps and good luck in your travels.

Cheers!
