Mysore Palace is probably India’s only illuminated royal structure and is a major tourist attraction, especially during Dasara where millions of tourists come from far and wide to see the lit up Palace.
The red light atop Mysore Palace in the central dome is used to synchronise the timing of lights from all the four stations simultaneously.
This red light, earlier, was an indicator of the presence of Maharajas inside the Palace. 15 minutes before illumination, the red light is switched on and switched off after 13 minutes. This is an alert to all station workers. Two minutes later when the red light is switched on again, the Palace is illuminated.

A car trip to Chamundi hills Mysore
Chamundi Hills are located close to the prominent palace city of Mysore in Karnataka. The Chamundi Hills are among the eight most sacred hills of South India. The main Chamundi Hill which carries the Chamundeshwari Temple atop is approximately 3 km to the east of the city of Mysore. The temple is a 12 km ride from Mysore city that leads to the peak of the Chamundi Hill at 1063m above sea level. From the top of the hills a panoramic view of the city can be seen with key attractions that include the Mysore Palace, the Karanji Lake and several smaller temples. The Chamundeshwari temple, patronized for centuries by the rulers of Mysore, is located among these hills. It was renovated during the time of Krishnaraja Wodeyar III (1827). It has a fine quadrangular structure. A statue of Mahishasura with a sword in his right hand and a cobra in the left is a key feature of the temple. Within the temple's sanctum stands a sculpted depiction the Goddess Chamundeshwari. Seated, her right heel is pressed against the lowest of the seven chakras. This cross-legged yogic posture echoes that of the Lord Shiva. It is believed that this powerful yogic posture, if mastered, enables one to have an added dimensional view of the universe. Since the early days of the Maharajas of Mysore, it has been customary that the idol of Goddess Chamundi is carried upon a ceremonially-decorated elephant as part of the celebrations in the annual Dusshera festival. The original shrine is thought to have been built in the 12th century by Hoysala rulers while its tower was probably built by the Vijayanagar rulers of the 17th century. Chamundeshwari temple is considered as a Shakti Peetha and one among 18 Maha Shakti Peethas. It is known as Krouncha Pitham as the region was known in Puranic times as Krouncha Puri. The origin of Shakti Peethas is associated to the mythology of Daksha yaga and Sati's self immolation. According to legend, the demon Mahishasura (king of the city that is currently known as Mysore) was killed by the Goddess Chamundeswari (also Chamundi) after a fierce battle. The Goddess is also called Mahishasura Mardini. The Chamundi Hills are named after the Goddess Chamundeshwari and a temple honouring her is located on the hills. The giant image of Nandi (Bull) is located at the top of Chamundi hills in Mysore. More than 350 years old, this is one of the oldest icons in Mysore. According to Hindu mythology Nandi is considered as the vehicle (mount) of Lord Shiva, the lord of destruction. In front of every Shiva temple, on the court facing the shrine, you can see the image of a Nandi. About 16 feet in height and 24 feet long, this Nandi atop the Chamundi Hills is the third largest in India. The creation of this colossal image is attributed to Dodda Devaraja Wodeyar (1659--1673) on of the illustrious Maharajas of Mysore.

Mysore (Mysuru) Palace||Tumkur ( Bangalore ) to Mysore Trip 2017||EP.02|| Palace of India
Mysore Palace
Ambavilas Palace, otherwise known as the Mysore Palace, is a historical palace and a royal residence at Mysore in the southern Karnataka state of India. It is the official residence of the Wadiyar dynasty and the seat of the Kingdom of Mysore. The palace is in the centre of Mysore, and faces the Chamundi Hills eastward. Mysore is commonly described as the 'City of Palaces', and there are seven palaces including this one; however, 'Mysore Palace' refers specifically to this one within the Old Fort.
The land on which the palace now stands was originally known as puragiri (literally, citadel), and is now known as the Old Fort. Yaduraya built the first palace inside the Old Fort in the 14th century, which was demolished and constructed multiple times. The current structure was constructed between 1897 and 1912, after the Old Palace was burnt ablaze.
Construction
The last palace, now known as the Old Palace or the Wooden Palace, was burnt into ashes during the 1896 Dasara festivities. Maharaja Krishnaraja Wodeyar IV and his mother Maharani Kempananjammanni Devi, commissioned the British architect Lord Henry Irwin to build a new palace.[2] Meanwhile, the royal family stayed in the closeby Jaganmohan Palace. The construction was overseen by B. P. Raghavulu Naidu, an executive engineer in the Mysore Palace division. He had conducted elaborate architectural studies during visits to Delhi, Madras, and Calcutta, and these were used in planning for the new palace. The construction cost was placed at Rs 41,47,913 (around $4 millions adjusted to inflation) and was completed in 1912.[3][4]
The palace was further expanded in around 1940 (including the addition of the present Public Durbar Hall wing) during the reign of Maharaja Jayachamarajendra Wadiyar. Although the construction was completed in 1912, the fort continued to be beautified and its inhabitants were slowly moved to the newer extensions built off the palace.
Architecture
The architectural style of domes of the palace is commonly described as Indo-Saracenic, with blends of the Hindu, Mughal, Rajput, and Gothic styles. It is a three-story stone structure with marble domes, and has a 145-foot five-story tower. The palace is surroundedby a large garden. The entrance gate and arch hold the emblem and coat of arms of the kingdom of Mysore, around which is written the kingdom's motto in Sanskrit: न बिभॆति कदाचन (never terrified).The main complex is 245 Ft in length and 156 Ft in width. There are fire extinguishing machines located in all parts of the palace in order to prevent any fires.[5] The palace has three entrances: the East Gate (the front gate, opened only during the Dasara and for dignitaries), the South Entrance (for public), and the West Entrance (usually opened only during the Dasara). In addition, there are numerous secret tunnels from the palace cellar leading to Srirangapatna, other palaces, and confidential areas.The three-story stone building of fine grey granite with deep pink marble domes has a facade with several expansive arches and two smaller ones flanking the central arch, which is supported by tall pillars. Above the central arch is a sculpture of Gajalakshmi, the Goddess of wealth, prosperity, fortune, and abundance with her elephants. There are three major exclusive temple buildings within the Old Fort, and about 18 inside the palace heart building. The palace was built adjacent to the even older Parakala Mutt headquarters, whose leaders have remained the rajagurus (royal teacher and guide) of Mysore kings. The kings of Mysore were devotees of Goddess Chamundi, hence the palace's facing the Chamundi Hills.[6]The palace houses two durbar halls (ceremonial meeting halls of the royal court) and incorporates an array of courtyards, gardens, and buildings.
Temples
The palace complex includes twelve major Hindu temples. The oldest was built in the 14th century, while the most recent was built in 1953. Some of the famous temples are:
Lakshmiramana Temple, dedicated to Lord Vishnu
Someshvara Temple, dedicated to Lord Shiva
Shwetha Varahaswamy Temple, dedicated to Lord Varahaswamy, one of the 10 incarnations of lord Vishnu
Sri Prasanna Krishna Swami Temple, dedicated to Lord Krishna
Sri Bhuvaneshwari Temple, dedicated to Goddess Bhuvaneshwari
Kodi Someshwaraswami Temple, dedicated to Lord Shiva
Sri Gayatri Temple, dedicated to Goddess Gayatri
Sri Trineshwara Temple, dedicated to Lord Shiva
Chamundi Hill Mysore
The Chamundeshwari Temple is located on the top of Chamundi Hills about 13 km from the palace city of Mysore in the state of Karnataka in India. The temple was named after Chamundeshwari or Durga, the fierce form of Shakti, a tutelary deity held in reverence for centuries by Mysore Maharajas. The original shrine is thought to have been built in the 12th century by Hoysala rulers while its tower was probably built by the Vijayanagar rulers of the 17th century. In 1659, a flight of one thousand steps was built leading up to the 3000 foot summit of the hill. At the temple are several images of Nandi (the bull mount of Shiva). There is a huge granite Nandi on the 800th step on the hill in front of a small Shiva temple a short distance away. This Nandi is over 15 feet high, and 24 feet long and around its neck are exquisite bells. The temple has a seven storey tall Gopura decorated with intricate carvings. The deity of the goddess is said to be made of gold and the temple doors of silver.
Chamundi Hills can be viewed from a distance of about 8 to 10 kms and from all the corners of Mysore City. Chamundeshwari temple is situated on the top of Chamundi hill which is about 3,489 ft. above sea level and located at a distance of 13 kms. from Mysore. The temple is dedicated to Sri Chamundeshwari, the titular deity of the Mysore Royal Family also described as ‘Mahishasura Mardini’ for having killed the buffalo headed demon Mahishasura. The temple has a very beautiful idol of the goddess wearing a garland of skulls. Goddess Chamundeshwari, also spelled Chamundeswari is an incarnation of Goddess Durga, Goddess Kali is also referred to as the Goddess Chamundi. The Chamundi temple has always been patronised by the rulers of Mysore. In 1659 Dodda Devaraja Wodeyar built 1,000 steps and huge Nandi, Lord Shiva's Bull. This colossal Nandi is one of the largest in India, 16 ft. (4.8 meters) tall at the front and 25 ft. (7.5 meters) in length. The magnificent pendent bells around its neck are exquisite. Nandi and the temple beside it are located at the 700th step of the Chamundi Hill. Krishnaraja Wodeyar III repaired the shrine in 1827 and built the present beautiful forty-meter, seven storied Gopura (tower at the entrance) with gold finials, and set up statues of his and his three queens. In 1827, Krishnaraja Wodeyar III made arrangements for festivals and processions and gifted Simhavahana in 1843.
Nandi or Nandin is now universally supposed to be the name for the bull which serves as the mount of the god Shiva and as the gate keeper of Shiva and Parvati, and in Hindu mythology. He is the chief guru of eight masters including Patanjali and Thirumular. Temples venerating Shiva display stone images of a seated Nandi, generally facing the main shrine. There are also a number of temples dedicated solely to Nandi. Climbing the steps of Chamundi Hills is a popular way of keeping fit among the locals in Mysore. The main set of a thousand steps takes anywhere between 12 to 60 minutes to climb, depending on an individual's fitness levels. Some individuals climb only till the Nandi statue, which is about 700 steps, then run on the downhill road to the other side of Chamundi Hills for about 2 kilometers, and climb another set of 600 steps to the top. This set of steps at the back of the hill is less used and provides a different challenge for climbers seeking exercise.
The giant image of Nandi (Bull) is located at the top of Chamundi hills in Mysore. More than 350 years old, this is one of the oldest icons in Mysore. The Nandi is portrayed in sitting position with its left foreleg folded in an about to get up posture. While the image is in great proportions, the finer details are executed equally brilliant. You can see many sequences of bells and garlands dexterously carved over the Nandi. With his ears pointed in rapt attention, the expression on the face is something not to be missed. The whole image sits on a 4 feet or so heigh platform. According to Hindu mythology Nandi is considered as the vehicle (mount) of Lord Shiva, the lord of destruction. In front of every Shiva temple, on the court facing the shrine, you can see the image of a Nandi. About 16 feet in height and 24 feet long, this Nandi atop the Chamundi Hills is the third largest in India. The creation of this colossal image is attributed to Dodda Devaraja Wodeyar (1659–1673) on of the illustrious Maharajas of Mysore. It is the same maharaja who also commissioned the 1000 stepped stairway to the hilltop. Originally this was a colossal boulder. The image of the Nandi was carved out of this boulder in situ. When you visit this Nandi just look around to see similar boulders around this site. In fact right behind the Nandi image is small cave temple under an overhanging boulder dedicated to Shiva. These boulders are painted with white and ochre stripes

‘Chamundi’ or ‘Durga’ at atop of the hil, the famous Sri Chamundeswari Temple is the fierce form of ‘Shakti’. She is the slayer of demons, ‘Chanda’ and ‘Munda’ and also ‘Mahishasura’, the buffalow-headed monster. She is the tutelary deity of the Mysore Maharajas and the presiding deity of Mysore.Located at the top of Chamundi Hills, Chamundeshwari temple is one of most prominent temples in Mysore. Dedicated to the Goddess Chamundeshwari (Chamundi), deity of the Mysore Royal Family and Mysore as well, this temple is about 1000 steps from the foot of the hill. The goddess is seated on a lion, killing the demon with her ‘trishul’.
Chamundi Hills are located close to the prominent palace city of Mysore in Karnataka. The Chamundi Hills are among the eight most sacred hills of South India. The main Chamundi Hill which carries the Chamundeshwari Temple atop is approximately 3 km to the east of the city of Mysore. The temple is a 12 km ride from Mysore city that leads to the peak of the Chamundi Hill at 1063m above sea level. From the top of the hills a panoramic view of the city can be seen with key attractions that include the Mysore Palace the Karanji Lake and several smaller temples. The Chamundeshwari temple patronized for centuries by the rulers of Mysore is located among these hills. It was renovated during the time of Krishnaraja Wodeyar III (1827). It has a fine quadrangular structure. A statue of Mahishasura with a sword in his right hand and a cobra in the left is a key feature of the temple. Within the temple's sanctum stands a sculpted depiction the Goddess Chamundeshwari. Seated her right heel is pressed against the lowest of the seven chakras. This cross-legged yogic posture echoes that of the Lord Shiva. It is believed that this powerful yogic posture if mastered enables one to have an added dimensional view of the universe. Since the early days of the Maharajas of Mysore it has been customary that the idol of Goddess Chamundi is carried upon a ceremonially-decorated elephant as part of the celebrations in the annual Dusshera festival. The original shrine is thought to have been built in the 12th century by Hoysala rulers while its tower was probably built by the Vijayanagar rulers of the 17th century. Chamundeshwari temple is considered as a Shakti Peetha and one among 18 Maha Shakti Peethas. It is known as Krouncha Pitham as the region was known in Puranic times as Krouncha Puri. The origin of Shakti Peethas is associated to the mythology of Daksha yaga and Sati's self immolation. According to legend the demon Mahishasura (king of the city that is currently known as Mysore) was killed by the Goddess Chamundeswari (also Chamundi) after a fierce battle. The Goddess is also called Mahishasura Mardini. The Chamundi Hills are named after the Goddess Chamundeshwari and a temple honouring her is located on the hills. The giant image of Nandi (Bull) is located at the top of Chamundi hills in Mysore. More than 350 years old this is one of the oldest icons in Mysore. According to Hindu mythology Nandi is considered as the vehicle (mount) of Lord Shiva the lord of destruction. In front of every Shiva temple on the court facing the shrine you can see the image of a Nandi. About 16 feet in height and 24 feet long this Nandi atop the Chamundi Hills is the third largest in India. The creation of this colossal image is attributed to Dodda Devaraja Wodeyar (1659--1673) on of the illustrious Maharajas of Mysore.
