Mysore ( my-SOR), officially Mysuru, is a city in the southern Indian state of Karnataka. It is the administrative headquarters of Mysore district and Mysore division.

Known for its heritage structures, palaces (such as the famous Mysore Palace), and its culture, Mysore has been called the "City of Palaces", the "Heritage City", and the "Cultural capital of Karnataka". It is the second-most populous city in the state and one of the cleanest cities in India according to the Swachh Survekshan.
