| The
former capital of the Mysore Maharaja's, Mysore still retains its old
world charm with its heritage buildings, cultural traditions and scores
of temples. The city with the main palace as the focal point is divided
mainly into the north zone, comprising the Vinobha road; and the south
zone by the Nazarbad Main Road. Mysore is famous for its beautiful crepe
silk sarees and sandalwood oil as well as sandalwood and rosewood carved
articles, agarbattis and the delicious Mysore 'Pak'. The month long Dussera
celebrations in September - October, with its colourful processions, fireworks
and the beautifully lighted palace, gives an enchanting look to the city.
