Mysore – Royal Musings

Here is my article on Mysore – Karnataka’s connection with royalty. It is also a city that has an old world charm and yet is an upscale city.

Did you know Mysore has several eponymous to its credit?

Mysore Masala Dosa: A dosa with a red chutney and simple potato curry with loads of ghee.

Mysore Pak: A traditional sweet dish made with gram flour, sugar and ghee.

Mysore Bonda: A traditional snack, these are deep fried dumplings made with flour, yoghurt and spices.

Mysore Silk: Known for its silk, the Mysore silk sarees are quite expensive as they are woven with real gold and silver threads!

Mysore Peta: This is a traditional headgear, like a gold turban worn by Mysore royalty and is today a common way of honouring people.

Mysore Mallige: This is a special variety of the jasmine flower that has a distinct fragrance that has been patented and registered under Intellectual Property Rights!

Mysore Painting: While it might resemble its popular cousin, the Tanjore painting, these paintings have more delicate lines, graceful designs and use of pure gold work.
