State highways 17, 33, 86, 88 pass through Mysore connecting it to nearby cities. The existing four-lane road linking Mysore to Bangalore is being upgraded to a six-lane highway, thus significantly reducing the commute time. Mysore is the railway junction for the district, and rail lines connect Mysore city to Bangalore to the northeast via Mandya, the rail junction at Hassan to the northwest, and Chamarajanagar via Nanjangud to the south east. The nearest airport is at Bangalore. The Mandkalli Airport, approximately 4 miles from the city, is currently inoperative, although paragliding and, occasionally, aeroplane rides are offered at this location. A memorandum of understanding is expected to be signed by the Karnataka government and the Airports Authority of India, leading to the redesign and extension of the airport.Mysore has intra-city, inter-city and suburban public bus transportation.

Economy
Industries, including those manufacturing tyres (Vikrant Tyres), textiles (K. R. Mills, now Atlantic Mills), electronic systems (Larsen & Toubro), earthmoving and mechanical systems (BEML), silk (KSIC) and those producing software (Infosys, Wipro, SPI (Software Paradigms International)), along with education and tourism (centered around numerous attractions and the Dushera Festival), are significant contributors to the economy of Mysore.
Infosys has established its training center with an investment of over 65 mn$, and with a training capacity of about 4,500 people in Mysore. Wipro has its Global Service Management Center (GSMC) for serving the eastern markets here. This center also serves as a backup to Wipro's Global Command Center in Bangalore.
Mysore contributed Rs 370 crores to Karnataka's Rs 38,000 crore IT exports in 2005. There are a number of small IT companies that make a significant contribution, albeit inconspicuously (unlike the big IT companies). Efforts are being made by the current state administration to persuade IT companies to move to Mysore, to ease the infrastructure burden on Bangalore and enhance the overall development of the state.
Education and research at the University of Mysore, Defence Food Research Laboratory (DFRL), Central Food Technological Research Institute (CFTRI), Central Institute of Indian Languages (CIIL), Central Sericultural Research & Training Institute (CSRTI), Central Institute of Plastics Engineering and Technology (CIPET), All India Institute of Speech and Hearing (AIISH), Karnataka State Open University (KSOU), Regional Institute of Education, The University School of Design (Architecture) and various medical, dental, pharmacy, engineering, and science colleges contribute to the economy and academic reputation of Mysore.
Articles made of silk, ivory and sandalwood are some of the most famous products of Mysore, making significant contributions towards commerce. Among several handicrafts retailing stores, RAMSONS, which is located right in front of the Mysore Zoo, is the largest and grandest of all. The divisional headquarters of Mysore Division and the Railway Station are other major employers.
The economy experienced reverses during the last few decades, as some of the major industries like Ideal Jawa (automobiles) and K. R. Mills (textiles) closed down and several people became unemployed. However some revival efforts, like those of K. R. Mills (Atlantic Mills), helped improve the situation. In recent years the software industry has grown and could expand further to become the most significant contributor.
Infrastructural improvements in progress, such as the doubling of railway tracks and the building of a four lane expressway between Mysore and Bangalore, are expected to bring significant growth to the economy of Mysore.Banks(sub- addresses are the branch banks in MYSORE city)

History
History
The history of Mysore is closely linked to the history of the Kingdom of Mysore. References from the times of Mahabharata and Asoka refer to Mahisha Nadu or Mahisha Mandala. References can also be found in Tamil literature about Ezimahi Nadu. The earliest documented evidence of the town is in the form of stone carvings in old Kannada(Saasanas) found in villages around Mysore, inscribed around 1021 CE. From 1499 the name Mahisūru has been recorded in inscriptions. During the rule of the Vijayanagar Empire, the Mysore kingdom served as a feudatory, gaining sovereignty after the empire fell in 1565 CE. Till the year 1610, when Srirangapatna was acquired, Mysore was the center of Wodeyar administration.
It became the capital of the Kingdom of Mysore after the death of Tippu Sultan at the end of the Anglo-Mysore Wars in 1799 .The administrative center was shifted to Bangalore in 1831, when the British moved their garrison from Srirangapatnam (on the outskirts of Mysore) to the Bangalore Cantonment. Mysore once again became the capital of the kingdom in 1881 with the rendition of power by the British to the Wodeyars. Most present day historical landmarks, and the organisation of the city of Mysore, were inspirations of the Wodeyar kings and their Dewans. Plans for organised development of the city exist from as far back as 1904. The period between 1910-1945 is considered the most important in the modernization of the kingdom. Several industries (including a steel mill) were begun, an efficient railway system was constructed, as was a network of irrigation canals, art and culture flourished under the patronage of royalty, and the educational system was revamped.
<<<--- Mysore palace
Mysore is called the City of Palaces as a result of the number of palaces situated in the city, including Amba Vilas (Main Mysore Palace), Rajendra Vilas (the summer palace, situated on the Chamundi hills) and Jayalakshmi Vilas (now in the University of Mysore premises). The main palace of Mysore was burnt down in 1897, and the present day structure was built on the same site. The palace exhibits a mixture of Dravidian, Indo-Saracenic, Roman and Oriental architectural styles. Even though the Government of Karnataka now maintains the Mysore palace, a small portion of the palace has been allocated for the erstwhile Royal family to live in.
The Jayalakshmi Vilas Mansion was constructed by Sri Chamaraja Wodeyar for his daughter Jayalakshammanni. It is now a museum dedicated to folk culture. A new gallery is being added for artefacts and collections of the Wodeyars of Mysore.ClimateMysore lies in the tropics, with summer temperatures ranging from 21 to 34 degrees Celsius, while winter sees the temperatures dropping down to from 12 to 30 degrees Celsius. The city gets an average of 86 centimetres of rain annually, most of it during the monsoon, in the June - October period.
Origin of name
Statue of the demon Mahishasura on top of Chamundi Hills-->>>
According to Hindu mythology, the area around Mysore city was once the domain of the demon king Mahishasura, who grew almost invincible and wreaked havoc on the world. The Goddess Chamundeshwari, vanquished the demon after an intense ten day struggle. The Goddess is therefore also known by the name Mahishasura Mardhini (Slayer of Mahisha). The battle and the victory are commemorated by the annual nine-day Navaratri festival to this day. The name Mysore is the anglicised version of Mahishūru which is derived from Mahisha. This legend renders the temple of the Goddess Chamundeshwari, located atop Chamundi Hills in Mysore, an important place of pilgrimage.
On the ocassion of "SUVARNA KARNATAKA" the Mysore city will be named as "Mysooru". Also 10 cities of Suvarna Karnataka were renamed from November first 2006 marking the Kannada Rajyotsava day and commemorating 50 years of KARNATAKA unification celebrations.The 10 cities are: Bengalooru (Bangalore), Mysooru (Mysore), Mangalooru (Mangalore), Chikmagalooru (Chikmagalur), Shivamogga (Shimoga), Belagaavi (Belgaum), Kalburgi (Gulbarga), Hubballi (Hubli), Hosapete (Hospet) and Tumakooru (Tumkur).

<<<--Inside the Mysore railway station
State highways 17, 33, 86, 88 pass through Mysore connecting it to nearby cities. The existing four-lane road linking Mysore to Bangalore is being upgraded to a six-lane highway, thus significantly reducing the commute time. Mysore is the railway junction for the district, and rail lines connect Mysore city to Bangalore to the northeast via Mandya, the rail junction at Hassan to the northwest, and Chamarajanagar via Nanjangud to the south east. The nearest airport is at Bangalore. The Mandkalli Airport, approximately 4 miles from the city, is currently inoperative, although paragliding and, occasionally, aeroplane rides are offered at this location. A memorandum of understanding is expected to be signed by the Karnataka government and the Airports Authority of India, leading to the redesign and extension of the airport.Mysore has intra-city, inter-city and suburban public bus transportation.

Economy
Industries, including those manufacturing tyres (Vikrant Tyres), textiles (K. R. Mills, now Atlantic Mills), electronic systems (Larsen & Toubro), earthmoving and mechanical systems (BEML), silk (KSIC) and those producing software (Infosys, Wipro, SPI (Software Paradigms International)), along with education and tourism (centered around numerous attractions and the Dushera Festival), are significant contributors to the economy of Mysore.
Infosys has established its training center with an investment of over 65 mn$, and with a training capacity of about 4,500 people in Mysore. Wipro has its Global Service Management Center (GSMC) for serving the eastern markets here. This center also serves as a backup to Wipro's Global Command Center in Bangalore.
Mysore contributed Rs 370 crores to Karnataka's Rs 38,000 crore IT exports in 2005. There are a number of small IT companies that make a significant contribution, albeit inconspicuously (unlike the big IT companies). Efforts are being made by the current state administration to persuade IT companies to move to Mysore, to ease the infrastructure burden on Bangalore and enhance the overall development of the state.
Education and research at the University of Mysore, Defence Food Research Laboratory (DFRL), Central Food Technological Research Institute (CFTRI), Central Institute of Indian Languages (CIIL), Central Sericultural Research & Training Institute (CSRTI), Central Institute of Plastics Engineering and Technology (CIPET), All India Institute of Speech and Hearing (AIISH), Karnataka State Open University (KSOU), Regional Institute of Education, The University School of Design (Architecture) and various medical, dental, pharmacy, engineering, and science colleges contribute to the economy and academic reputation of Mysore.
Articles made of silk, ivory and sandalwood are some of the most famous products of Mysore, making significant contributions towards commerce. Among several handicrafts retailing stores, RAMSONS, which is located right in front of the Mysore Zoo, is the largest and grandest of all. The divisional headquarters of Mysore Division and the Railway Station are other major employers.
The economy experienced reverses during the last few decades, as some of the major industries like Ideal Jawa (automobiles) and K. R. Mills (textiles) closed down and several people became unemployed. However some revival efforts, like those of K. R. Mills (Atlantic Mills), helped improve the situation. In recent years the software industry has grown and could expand further to become the most significant contributor.
Infrastructural improvements in progress, such as the doubling of railway tracks and the building of a four lane expressway between Mysore and Bangalore, are expected to bring significant growth to the economy of Mysore.Banks(sub- addresses are the branch banks in MYSORE city)

History
History
The history of Mysore is closely linked to the history of the Kingdom of Mysore. References from the times of Mahabharata and Asoka refer to Mahisha Nadu or Mahisha Mandala. References can also be found in Tamil literature about Ezimahi Nadu. The earliest documented evidence of the town is in the form of stone carvings in old Kannada(Saasanas) found in villages around Mysore, inscribed around 1021 CE. From 1499 the name Mahisūru has been recorded in inscriptions. During the rule of the Vijayanagar Empire, the Mysore kingdom served as a feudatory, gaining sovereignty after the empire fell in 1565 CE. Till the year 1610, when Srirangapatna was acquired, Mysore was the center of Wodeyar administration.
It became the capital of the Kingdom of Mysore after the death of Tippu Sultan at the end of the Anglo-Mysore Wars in 1799 .The administrative center was shifted to Bangalore in 1831, when the British moved their garrison from Srirangapatnam (on the outskirts of Mysore) to the Bangalore Cantonment. Mysore once again became the capital of the kingdom in 1881 with the rendition of power by the British to the Wodeyars. Most present day historical landmarks, and the organisation of the city of Mysore, were inspirations of the Wodeyar kings and their Dewans. Plans for organised development of the city exist from as far back as 1904. The period between 1910-1945 is considered the most important in the modernization of the kingdom. Several industries (including a steel mill) were begun, an efficient railway system was constructed, as was a network of irrigation canals, art and culture flourished under the patronage of royalty, and the educational system was revamped.
<<<--- Mysore palace
Mysore is called the City of Palaces as a result of the number of palaces situated in the city, including Amba Vilas (Main Mysore Palace), Rajendra Vilas (the summer palace, situated on the Chamundi hills) and Jayalakshmi Vilas (now in the University of Mysore premises). The main palace of Mysore was burnt down in 1897, and the present day structure was built on the same site. The palace exhibits a mixture of Dravidian, Indo-Saracenic, Roman and Oriental architectural styles. Even though the Government of Karnataka now maintains the Mysore palace, a small portion of the palace has been allocated for the erstwhile Royal family to live in.
The Jayalakshmi Vilas Mansion was constructed by Sri Chamaraja Wodeyar for his daughter Jayalakshammanni. It is now a museum dedicated to folk culture. A new gallery is being added for artefacts and collections of the Wodeyars of Mysore.ClimateMysore lies in the tropics, with summer temperatures ranging from 21 to 34 degrees Celsius, while winter sees the temperatures dropping down to from 12 to 30 degrees Celsius. The city gets an average of 86 centimetres of rain annually, most of it during the monsoon, in the June - October period.
Origin of name
Statue of the demon Mahishasura on top of Chamundi Hills-->>>
According to Hindu mythology, the area around Mysore city was once the domain of the demon king Mahishasura, who grew almost invincible and wreaked havoc on the world. The Goddess Chamundeshwari, vanquished the demon after an intense ten day struggle. The Goddess is therefore also known by the name Mahishasura Mardhini (Slayer of Mahisha). The battle and the victory are commemorated by the annual nine-day Navaratri festival to this day. The name Mysore is the anglicised version of Mahishūru which is derived from Mahisha. This legend renders the temple of the Goddess Chamundeshwari, located atop Chamundi Hills in Mysore, an important place of pilgrimage.
On the ocassion of "SUVARNA KARNATAKA" the Mysore city will be named as "Mysooru". Also 10 cities of Suvarna Karnataka were renamed from November first 2006 marking the Kannada Rajyotsava day and commemorating 50 years of KARNATAKA unification celebrations.The 10 cities are: Bengalooru (Bangalore), Mysooru (Mysore), Mangalooru (Mangalore), Chikmagalooru (Chikmagalur), Shivamogga (Shimoga), Belagaavi (Belgaum), Kalburgi (Gulbarga), Hubballi (Hubli), Hosapete (Hospet) and Tumakooru (Tumkur).

Sonia announces Pratibha Patil's name
Congress President Sonia Gandhi has announced Rajasthan governor Pratibha Patil as UPA-Left nominee for Presidential elections.''It's a historic moment,'' said Sonia Gandhi and also thanked all the UPA allies.Earlier in the day, the UPA and Left failed to arrive at a consensus Presidential candidate. The Left parties rejected Shivraj Patil and Karan Singh's names for the top post. They instead asked the Congress to look for new names. The 71-year-old Congress leader is leading the race to become India's first woman president.Pratibha Patil has been Governor of Rajasthan for nearly three years. She is not only the first woman governor of the state, but also the only woman Governor in the country.The former deputy chairperson of Rajya Sabha is also a prominent leader from Maharashtra who once headed the Maharashtra Congress.Main candidatePatil has been elected to the Maharashtra Legislative Assembly five times and has been a member of both the Rajya Sabha and Lok Sabha. A lawyer by profession, she also runs training institutes for the poor and the disabled. She has a sporty edge and was a Table Tennis champion in her college days. Earlier in the day, the Congress got a boost with Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M Karunanidhi stating that his party will back the Congress candidate for the post of President.He also met senior Left party leaders including the CPM's Prakash Karat and the CPI's AB Bardhan and D Raja.Can Patil win?But can Patil win if there is a contest with Bhairon SIngh Shekhawat and a Third Front candidate?The Electoral College has nearly eleven lakh votes. The tally of votes of UPA, Left parties and BSP comes to 570,000. This means if there is no cross voting they have a clear majority. The BJP-led NDA's votes come to 3,54,689. And the votes of Third Front - consisting of AIADMK, SP, TDP, Lok Dal, and the AGP - comes to 1,06,281.Numerically, Patil would be through but there is also a possibility of Shekhawat manages cross voting. Things could be complicated further if the Third Front puts up a candidate. In that case the preferential voting system comes into effect.In other words an MP or an MLA, who forms the Electoral College to elect a President, will have to vote for the candidates in order of his/her preference.The candidates who get the least number of votes get eliminated. But those who voted for the eliminated candidate would have also voted for someone else as their second preference.If Shekhawat gets the maximum number of second preference votes along with the votes of the NDA there is a possibility that Shekhawat may pip Pratibha Patil at the post.
