About Mysore
Mysore, also written Mysuru, is the palace city of southern Karnataka, with a grand maharaja's palace, a hilltop temple, a spice market and silk.
Mysore, also written Mysuru, was the capital of the Wadiyar maharajas, and their Indo-Saracenic palace, Amba Vilas, with its domes, arches and carved halls, is the centrepiece of the city. During the Dasara festival in autumn, thousands of light bulbs outline the palace and a procession of decorated elephants winds through the streets.
