Mysuru: The road leading to the Lalitha Mahal Palace Hotel from city is one of the most busiest roads with heavy traffic especially during Dasara. It is because the road also leads to the Chamundeshwari Temple atop the Chamundi Hill at the Sangolli Rayanna Circle, also known as Kurubarahalli Circle or the Chamundi Hill Circle, if one takes the right turn.
Many years ago, a huge billboard across the road near this Circle was constructed which became controversial because it disturbed an otherwise beautiful view of the tree-lined road with ornate cast-iron lamp posts that existed then.
