the melodious strains of the Veena… the rich aroma of filter coffee…
traditional carvings on fragrant sandalwood, rose wood and ivory, the rustle of
rich silks, delicious bananas… hot and spicy bisi-bele-huliyanna!, mouth
watering Mysore-Pak, a traditional sweetmeat… It is a gourmet delight and a

exciting bargains.
Come to Mysore and experience it for yourself….
