Cityscapes' is a six part series on six cities of India representing the diverse nature and histories of cities in India. 'Mysore' showcases the transition of the city of Mysore from the princely state of the Wodeyars to its present modern form. Though the city is no longer ruled by the Maharajas, the royal past is revived in collective memory with the celebration of Dussehra in all its pomp and ceremonies. While the palaces, European architecture and princely celebrations speak of the rich traditions of the city, commerce, the gardens and the sporting clubs take Mysore towards modernity. Home to the Mysore silk sari and Mysore pak, the city is an unusual mix of tradition and modernity.
