Mysore, now known as Mysuru, is one of the most significant cities in the country in terms of historical dynasties, and it is widely recognised for its many palaces. There is a wealth of information about its illustrious past kings and queens, ornate buildings, world-famous silk saris, yoga, and sandalwood. Mysore, at the base of the Chamundi Hills, is the third largest city in Karnataka and a popular tourist destination thanks to its historical significance. A visit to the magnificent Mysore Palace, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is a must.

In the days when British India still existed, Mysore was one of the three largest Princely States. The Mysore Palace remains one of India’s most impressive palaces even now. Every inch of the Palace drips with opulence and intricate details, and every room that you visit stands out in terms of the palace’s elaborate architecture, beautiful paintings, rich colours, and stained-glass windows, making it a very popular tourist destination visited by thousands of people every day. Once nightfall arrives, the palace is illuminated magnificently on Sundays and during Dussehra celebrations.
