Mysore, Heritage city in Karnataka, India

The Mysuru Palace, located in the heart of the city, features marble domes, stone arches, and mirrors that reflect light throughout its chambers.

The Wadiyar dynasty governed Mysuru from the 14th to 19th century, establishing it as a prominent center of art, architecture, and administration.

The annual Dasara festival fills the streets with music performances, cultural exhibitions, and a grand parade featuring decorated elephants and traditional dancers.

Visitors can reach Mysuru through regular train connections from Bengaluru, with the journey taking approximately two hours through scenic landscapes.

The Devaraja Market contains hundreds of stalls selling sandalwood items, silk textiles, and fresh flowers used in traditional Indian ceremonies.
