Popular Best Things to Do in Mysore [2025]

Finally visited the Mysore Palace after long time nearly ten years.I suppose it was meant to be with a friend who took the long haul from Boston to marvel at its beauty.What a melange of architectural and design styles 😍I was really impressed by the grandeur and scale of Mysore Palace.#historicalpalace#mysorepalace.

Mysore Palace, an architectural marvel, showcases Indo-Saracenic style with stunning domes, carvings, and royal artifacts. It was the residence of the Wodeyar dynasty and is famous for its grandeur during the Dussehra festival. A must-visit for history and culture lovers. #MysorePalace #RoyalHeritage #Dussehra #TravelIndia

Day 17 of the India trip - Wandering around Mysore
March 10, 2019 Sunny 35 degrees
Since entering India on February 22, the temperature has never been lower than 30 degrees, and every day I feel like I am in the Flaming Mountain.
Although Mysore is a little further south than Hampi, the temperature is slightly milder than Hampi, of course, it is also around 35 degrees.
There are not many attractions in Mysore, except for the palace.
It is said that there is a temple on the mountain, which is very famous. But I really don&rsquo;t want to climb the mountain to see the temple in this scorching sun.
That&rsquo;s it, go shopping in the market.
Devaraja market in Mysore is very famous locally, with a lot of vegetables, fruits, spices, clothes and other items, but maybe because it&rsquo;s Sunday, many stalls are not open.
I looked at it and found that the variety of vegetables is not rich, mostly root vegetables, and there are very few green leafy vegetables.
The price is very low, and I bought 10 naturally ripened tomatoes for 10 rupees! I doubt whether the vendor has calculated it wrong~~~~ It&rsquo;s only one yuan in RMB. [grin]

After leaving the market, I called a tuk-tuk to Mysore University. It is said that there is a museum inside. The car arrived at the school gate. It was closed on Sunday.

The bus to Cochin at 18:25 in the evening, sat in the palace to kill time, at least it was not exposed to the sun.

The Mysore Palace is really friendly to the people. Except for the exhibition of treasures inside, which charges an entrance fee of 50 rupees (equivalent to RMB 5), the square, hall, garden, etc. of the palace are all open. Anyone can enter and exit freely after security check. You can sit and lie in the courtyard where the princes and ministers stayed in the past.
