The former capital of the Wodeyar dynasty, Mysore has been home to one of the longest established empires in Indian history and the current Maharaja of Mysore still resides in the opulently-decorated city palace. Rebuilt in 1897 after a fire, it is an imposing centerpiece at the heart of the city, especially on Sundays and public holidays when it is lit by nearly 100,000 lightbulbs.

Visiting Mysore

Nandi Bull, South IndiaA trip to the outskirts of town reaches Chamundi Hill, where you’ll find one of India’s largest Nandi Bulls, the mythical transport for Lord Shiva with spectacular views over Mysore.

The pleasant climate and vibrant yet laid-back atmosphere make it an excellent base for visiting nearby Srirangapatnam and Ranganathittu as part of a tour of south India.
