Steeped in history, closely nestling against hills and forests, this city is probably the largest centre for the manufacture of incense sticks in India. Its quaint old-worldliness works like a charm on you and offers an experience that is uniquely Mysorean – an air imbued with the mingled fragrances of a thousand agarbathis and attars .
As many as its variety of incense, are its:
PALACES
Mysore Palace built in Indo-Saracenic style shows both Hindu & Muslim influences and was the former residence of the Wodeyar family, the Maharajas of Mysore.
