About Mysore
The Mysore Palace's candy-coloured domes and turrets light up in electric splendour at night, their Indo-Saracenic bulk dominating the city's gardens and bazaars. Chamundeshwari Temple crowns a hill temple above the palace, its colonnaded approach guarded by stone elephants. The city earned fame for its pure mulberry silk—looms still click-clack in neighbourhood workshops.
