Mysore
A palace illuminated with close to a hundred thousand light bulbs every Sunday evening, a yoga tradition so associated with the city that practitioners travel from across the world to study here, and a silk and sandalwood trade still run much the way it always was.
The best time to visit Mysore is Oct–Feb, when typical daytime highs reach about 30°C (85°F). Local time there is 02:47 (UTC+5:30).
