About the Programme
Mysuru, often known as the “Cultural capital of Karnataka”, is a city rich in history, culture, heritage and legacy. Situated at the foothills of the Chamundi Hills, it is about 140 km southwest of Bengaluru. Mysuru’s pleasant climate complements the city’s timeless charm. The city has rather lower temperatures because of its somewhat higher elevation (~770 meters above sea level).

The powerful Wodeyar dynasty once ruled the Kingdom of Mysuru, which played a significant role in shaping the cultural and political landscape of present-day Karnataka. The city is famous for its grand palaces, temples, vibrant markets, and deep-rooted cultural traditions.

It is one of the most interesting cities in South India, offering many sites to visit and explore. Under the Wodeyars from 1399 to Independence, Mysuru is known for its royal past and magnificent architecture and monuments. This former state capital is a perfect fusion of modernism and old world appeal. With its royal grandeur, Mysuru invites you to visit and explore its grand allure, all year round.
