Description | Mysore was ruled by the demon-king Mahishasura, he was a buffalo-headed monster. Hence, came the name of this place - Mahishuru, the city of demon Mahisha. The demon was killed by the Goddess Chamundeshwari, whose temple is situated atop the Chamundi Hills. Mahishuru later became Mahisuru and finally came to be called Maisuru, its present name in the Kannada language. The anglicized form of the name is Mysore. The earliest mention of Mysore or Mahishur historically is referred to the time of King Ashoka in 245 B.C. However, it is only from the 10th Century that a proper and consistent line of history of Mysore can be traced. |
