, a city whose etymology is linked to the spot where
a brave goddess conquered a ferocious demon. Apart from its formidable history, this is the
place to take a leisurely wander through frenetic old bazaars filled with the intoxicating
aroma of sandalwood, fresh flowers and incense. Mysore is also known for its convivial
festivals. Dussehra - which celebrates the triumph of good over evil - is one of the most
spectacular occasions, with merry street parades and the dazzling illumination of the city's
enormous palace.
