The royal city of Mysuru (Mysore) and the massive fort of Srirangapatna on a nearby island in the Kaveri River preserve\n\nan amazingly diverse architecture. This built legacy spans the 17th to 20th centuries, an era marked by the supremacy\nof the Wadiyar Maharajas of Mysuru, except for a short period towards the end of the 18th century when their authority\nwas taken over by Haidar Ali and Tipu Sultan. Restored to the Mysuru throne by the English after the 1799 “Siege of\nSeringapatam”, the Wadiyars emerge as enthusiastic patrons of architecture and painting.
