Mysuru Palace
The biggest man-made wonder in Mysore without a doubt, the Mysore Palace will mesmerize you with its grandeur and architectural brilliance. The gargantuan palace will require at least a couple of hours or even more for you to fully explore it. 4 PM makes for an ideal time since the sight of the lit-up palace will be a feast for sore eyes when you finish exploring. This is the official residence of the rulers of Mysore, the Wodeyars, who ruled between 1399 and 1950. The palace has two grand durbar halls, and several gardens, buildings and courtyards.
Chamundeshwari Temple
Chamundi Hills is the prime landmark of Mysore city, visible almost form anywhere in the city center. The hill has very close association with the founding of the city. In fact, the very name of Mysore is associated with the hill. This time around when we visited Mysore, we chose to stay at “The Windflower” Resort – located at the foot hills of Chamundi. The best time to visit this wonderful temple is early morning when the first rays of sun grace the hills.
Philomena’s Church
Visitors looking to explore architectural wonders in Mysore should not miss the soaring St. Philomena’s Church. This is one of the biggest churches in the entire country. You can spot it from a long distance due to its twin spires that are 175 feet long!
Jaganmohan Palace
Comparatively less frequented, Jaganmohan Palace is a must-see for art lovers. This 19th century structure, which was initially constructed as a royal auditorium, now houses exquisite art work by celebrated artists including Raja Ravi Varma – The Father of Modern Indian Art. It also has a rich collection of traditional Japanese art and some hard-to-find musical instruments. You would not have to travel much as the palace is near Mysore Palace, in fact just west to it.
Krishnaraja Sagara Dam
The Krishna Raja Sagara Dam (KRS Dam) was built across river Kaveri, the life giving river for the Mysore and Mandya districts, in 1924. Apart from being the main source of water for irrigation in the most fertile Mysore and Mandya, the reservoir is the main source of drinking water for all of Mysore city and almost the whole of Bangalore city, the capital of the state of Karnataka.
