📍 About the location

Mysore, India's ‘Sandalwood City' also known as the ‘City of Palaces' is the cultural capital of the state of Karnataka. For nearly 6 centuries, the kingdom of Mysore was ruled by the Wodeyar dynasty, who were patrons of art and culture. An enlightened dynasty, the Vodeyars contributed significantly to the cultural and economic growth of the city and the state. In Mysore city, an ‘old-world' ambience prevails. One can almost see the ghosts of years gone by, hear a faint battle-cry, the clash of weapons, or the boom of a cannon.
