Mysore Palace at Night
Every Sunday and public holiday, 97,000 light bulbs illuminate the Indo-Saracenic palace — visible for miles. Join the thousands of locals who come every week as if seeing it for the first time.
Mysore Silk Shopping
Mysore silk (Mysore crepe) is India's finest — the state silk weaving factory on Mananthody Road allows factory visits. Buy silk at the government Cauvery showroom for guaranteed authenticity.
Devaraja Market
The most photogenic market in Karnataka — towers of marigolds, jasmine gajras (garlands), bananas, and sandalwood in a 100-year-old market hall that has barely changed.
Chamundeshwari Temple
The hilltop temple above Mysuru dedicated to the Goddess Chamundi — 1,000 steps or a short drive, with views over the entire city and Maharaja's Palace below.
Dussehra Festival (October)
Mysuru's 10-day Dussehra is India's most spectacular — the Maharaja rides a caparisoned elephant, the palace blazes with 97,000 lights, and a golden-idol procession winds through the city.
Brindavan Gardens
The terraced gardens below the KRS Dam (19km from Mysuru) are India's most romantic formal gardens — laid out in a horseshoe across 60 acres with fountains, rose beds, and a topiary section. The evening coloured fountain show synced to Kannada film music is impossibly kitsch and completely wonderful.
