Mysore: ‘City of Lights’ is one of the sobriquets earned by Mysuru with others being ‘City of Palaces’, ‘Heritage City’ and ‘Cultural Capital’. True to this sobriquet, during Dasara, the city glows with lights all over and it is a treat to go around the streets amidst illuminated landmark buildings and arches. And as if an icing on the cake, it is a visual extravaganza to watch the illuminated Mysuru from atop the Chamundi Hill.
Starting from the iconic Mysore Palace to streets and shops in the Central Business District and surrounding areas, all Government buildings and arches are illuminated to reflect the land’s rich cultural heritage.
