Devaraja Market
Sayyaji Rao Road, Mysuru (Mysore), India, 570001One of the most fascinating visits to South India, especially in the eyes of Western travelers, is this colorful and vibrant market. A visit to this market has become a quintessential part of Mysore itineraries. So much so that sometimes the international travelers seem to prefer a visit to this market more than other well-known monuments. This market is laid out on a rectangular grid and has separate sections for Vegetables, Fruits and Flowers. It is so photogenic that tourists let loose themselves often forgetting the paths they took. Add to this the street vendors, perfume makers, chai-wallahs, garland makers, color pigment sellers, etc. all expecting to garner your attention and sell their wares to you. If ever you want to see a microcosm of India at work, visit a market such as this. Come and experience it yourself!1 hour 30 minutes • Admission Ticket FreeView LocationMeeting and Pickup
