This was the capital of Mysore during British times. It was a highly developed city with a population of 700,000. Between 1760 and 1799 the Muslims, Haider Ali and Tippu Sultan, father and son duo, gained control and shifted the capital to Srirangapatnam in the north. There is a large temple dedicated to Chamunda the protector goddess of the city on a hill south-east of the city. This hill range is called the Chamundi Hills. There is a large statue of Nandi here too. The city is well planned with wide pathways criss-crossing each other, many palaces and colonial constructions.
