Situated at
the base of the Chamundi Hills and the second largest city in the Karnakata
state, Mysore is 146 kilometres southwest of Bangalore, the capital of the
state. Ruled by the Wodeyar dynasty until 1947, whose love for art and
culture has left an everlasting imprint on this “cultural capital of
Karnataka” This predominantly Hindu city lends its name to the Mysore style
of painting, sweet Indian dish Mysore Pak and Mysore silk saris. A trip to
Mysore is a must-do for sure!

atmosphere. The visitor to the city is bound to come away with beautiful
memories of this city and would want to re-live the same experience over and
over again.
