Jaganmohan Palace and Art Gallery

Jaganmohan Palace and Art Gallery Introduction
The state of Karnataka was formerly known as Mysore, after the princely state of the same name. The name Mysore is said to have been derived from a famous demon called Mahishasure, a great warrior and a tyrant who was killed by the goddess Chamundeshwari. Mysore has been the seat of power and the capital of the Wodeyar Dynasty. The Jaganmohan Palace and Art Gallery Karnataka is one of the important monuments in Karnataka and also Mysore.

Today the gods and demons have indeed suffered the mass unwillingness to suspend disbelief, and the kings and the royalty headed for the parliament as a more tangible source of power- Mysore stands as a bright beacon in the tourism industry on Karnataka and the sandal trade.
