Mysore is significant as it bonds history, art, religion,
culture and the greatness of the kings and nawabs who ruled our country...
Still now one can experience and get engrossed in the life
and deeds of the famous historical events and the battle fought by the kings.
Mysore reminds us of the famous battle of Tipu Sultan and his father Hyder Ali
fought against the British. The famous sword of Tipu Sultan and the mightiness
and power of kings are the proof of the glory and achievement of Indian history
and its rulers.
