At the foot of the Chammundi Hills and surrounded by fields of vibrant paddy and sugar cane its centre is dominated by the exotic Amba Vilasa palace, official residence of the former ruling Wodeyar dynasty. An ornate structure known for its eclectic mix of architectural styles and decor it is especially worth a visit at weekends and festival times when the facade is spectacularly illuminated by almost 100,000 light bulbs.

Well known now as a centre for Ashtanga yoga Mysore also boasts a colourful market and is a popular place to browse for opulent silks, sandalwood carvings and fragrant south Indian coffee. now a hotel.
