Karnataka Mysore Map

 

A Guide to Maps of India  

Somewhere 770 meters above sea level there is a place called City of Palaces – its name is Mysore. Situated some 140 kilometers from Bangalore, Mysore is the veritable cultural capital of the state of Karnataka.

Dazzling and imposing structures are aptly the stuff of a city with vibrant history to its name. It is the erstwhile capital of the Wodeyar dynasty, whose hegemony covered Karnataka for lofty 150 years.

Under their rule, Mysore was made the ultimate cultural city, seeing as how the Wodeyar kings were great patrons of art and culture.  That is the fascinating part of the discovery. To this day, the legacy of the Wodeyars is seen in the ubiquity of opulent buildings, well laid-out gardens, and extensive shady avenues.

If anything, the Wodeyars’ heritage is alive in the annual Dussehra Festival.  For ten merry days in October or November, Mysore’s citizens throw themselves to mirthful abandon in this festival.  People from all over India are drawn to Mysore for this one jovial festival.

Other than that, Mysore is taken in by way of its amazing sights.  Due to the decadent whims of the Wodeyars, their residence in Mysore stands high-flying adored to this day as one of the biggest spectacles in India. The majestic palace was erected in 1912, according to the Indo Saracenic style.

Armed with a good tourist map of Mysore, one may sightsee all across the City of Palaces on foot.
