What to do and see in Mysuru (Mysore), Karnataka: The Best Points of Interest & Landmarks
The kings of the Wodeyar dynasty set the bar high for the southern cultural capital of Mysore. Ornate palaces and the Gothic St. Philomena's Church with its 175-foot spires pack a visual punch; local institutions keep Carnatic classical music and dance in the public eye. A prominent 11th-century temple sits atop 1,000 steps on the city's outskirts. Dress to the nines and party like a rock star in celebration of Mysore heritage during the lively Dussehra festival, held for 10 days in October/November.

This is a lovely Tibetan Monastery close to Mysuru or Coorg in Bylakuppe. There are monks praying in here so be prepared to observe in silence without disturbing them. There are lovely paintings on the walls and ceilings besides the huge statues of the Buddha and it's different avatars that are worth seeing here. The Tibetan refugees have been given this place to settle down by the Indian government ever since they fled their home country. It is a very peaceful atmosphere even with all the beating of drums and playing of traditional horns by the monks chanting their devotional hymns. A must visit place for sure if you are in the vicinity.

I am sure most people visiting Mysore will without doubt visit this beautiful palace. It is truly magnificent inside and out with amazing grounds. If at all possible make sure you are in Mysore on a Sunday as the light show on Sunday evenings from 7.00pm until 8.00 pm is breathtaking with a wonderful atmopsphere.

It's a very historical circle, in the heart of the city! Very much near to the Mysore palace! Few of the oldest jewellery and silk stores are located at this circle and it's the best place for shopping sarees and jewellery and other stuff!
