Reviewed By Karthik R - Chennai (Madras), India
Sri Ranganathaswamy Temple - is one of the popular tourist spots similar to Srirangam in Tamilnadu across the river of Cauvery. Being Sunday, the temple was crowded with tourists and locals. The temple is quite big hosting Lord Venkatramana. The temple hosts beautiful Hoysala architecture based pillars in the main prakaram of the temple. It took almost an hour for us to complete the dharshan and go around the temple. It was a quite hot day and tender coconuts helped us.

3. Cheluvanarayana Swamy Temple

Reviewed By Stucoman - Bengaluru, India
From a devotional perspective... It is a beautiful temple. Very beautiful idol of the Lord....quite different from others. No rush in the temple... Enough place and time to sit and pray to the Lord....also...visit the Narasimha temple about 2 km from this temple... The Narasimha temple has about a 100+ steps from the car parking point....its not tough for people to climb it. Again that too is a very peaceful temple. Enough time is provided to people for prayers and Darshan.
4. Avadhoota Datta Peetham

4.5 based on 157 reviews
Founded by His Holiness Sri Ganapathy Sachchidananda Swamiji, Avadhoota Datta Peetham is a world-renowned institution for the social, moral, cultural and spiritual welfare of mankind.
Reviewed By iammanish2015 - Pune, India
The Avadhoota Datta Peetham is better known locally as the Sachidananda Ashram. The place has achieved popularity in recent years owing to it housing a large aviary called Shuka Vana, where a large number of birds are treated and taken care of. While the Shuka Vana is indeed a highlight of the place, it's not the only one.
One cannot miss the giant Hanuman statue and the temple beneath. The Vishwam Museum, which contains numerous articles gifted to the Guru, is also worth visiting. What I liked best was the lovely Bonsai Garden, which contained a wide collection of plants along with sculptures of Lord Shiva, Ganesha and the Buddha.
One can take photographs in the garden, but not in the Shuka Vana (they click you with the birds perched on your hand for a fee) or the museum. Still, it is easily among the best places to visit in Mysore, though accessing it by public transport can be somewhat tricky. Must-visit. One should aim to spend around 2 hours here.

This rather small temple is considered to be about 400 years old and has some historical legacy. Situated on the banks of river Cauvery, the entire place is scenic. The temple has goddess nimishamba as main deity considered to fulfill pilgrims needs. Temple is small but well maintained. Presently renovation work is going on. This temple attracts lots of pilgrims particularly during festive times.
8. Mysore Maharajah's Palace (Amba Vilas)

This 1912 structure is one of the largest palaces in the country and contains art from around the world.
Reviewed By scud56 - Royal Tunbridge Wells, United Kingdom
Probably the #1 place to visit in Mysore is the Maharajah's palace. Set in a huge area surrounded by temple building and some beautiful gates, the palace frontage is opulent and ever bit of a maharajah's splendid home. Inside is equally opulent with a number of jaw-dropping rooms that have entertained royalty through to today.
As inspiring as Buckingham Palace.
