Mysore is know for it’s beautiful silk and sandalwood. Below are a few shops where you can find sarees, carvings, crafts, jewelry and art.

This colorful outdoor market is a dizzying maze of everything under the Mysore sun – from flowers to fresh produce to household items and beyond! Definitely a must-see.

If you’ve never been to Mysore before, then you might not know this little well-known secret. The tailors in Mysore are fabulous! You can have clothing custom-made to fit you for a fraction of what it would cost in the U.S. It’s such a great perk of traveling to Mysore, that many students take advantage of having clothing custom-made when it would never occur to them to do otherwise.
