Mysuru gets its name from Mahishasura – a mythological demon (asura) king who is believed to have ruled this region. Mahisha means buffalo, and the king had the body of a man and the head of a buffalo. Mysuru is rich in history and culture with numerous stories laced around wars, royalty and colonisation.
Mysuru is known for its architecturally beautiful palace, traditional arts and crafts, silk weaving, yoga experiences, and authentic local food.
