Destaques
At Unventured, we believe that true travel is about the journey, not just the destination—a personal exploration along the road less traveled. This spirit inspires every adventure we curate. This Dasara, we celebrate Mysuru’s rich heritage, commemorating the triumph of good over evil—when Goddess Chamundi defeated Mahishasura, bringing prosperity and joy to Mahisuru (now Mysuru). Experience the magic of Mysuru Dasara, a vibrant 10-day festival where the city comes alive. From bustling bazaars and traditional wrestling matches to homes adorned with intricately arranged “Gombe” (Doll) displays, every corner radiates joy and tradition, as locals unite to celebrate the legendary victory of Chamundeshwari over Mahishasura.

Dodda Gadiyara, the "Big Clock Tower" in Mysuru, stands 75 feet tall and was built in 1927 to mark the silver jubilee of Maharaja Krishnaraja Wodeyar IV. Designed in Indo-Saracenic style, it blends Rajasthani and English architectural elements. The tower has a large 5-foot diameter clock with Kannada numerals and a Rajasthani-style canopy, while its bell could be heard from miles away, making it a key landmark of its era.
Brahmin's Soda Factory, in Mysore Market, has been a local favorite for 80 years, known for traditional soda made with English-imported equipment. Popular flavors include sarsaparilla, lime masala, and ginger milk.
Devaraja Market, built in 1886 by Nalwadi Krishnaraja Wadiyar and named after Devaraja Wadiyar, is Mysore’s oldest market. Originally a weekly market, it now operates daily. With roots dating back to Tipu Sultan’s era, it remains a vibrant hub of trade and local life.

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.
