Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: MOS-NAN
MYSORE ,
capital
  of the state of Mysore, India, TO m. S.W. of
Seringapatam
  on the Mysore State railway. Pop. (19or), 68,11x. The city, which is spread over an area of about 71 sq. m., has its nucleus at the foot of the Chamundi hill, in a valley formed by two parallel ridges running north and south. The fort stands in the south of the town, forming a quarter by itself; the ground-plan is quadrangular, each of the sides being about 450 yds. long. The old palace of the maharaja within the fort, built in an extravagant style of Hindu architecture, was partly destroyed by fire in 1897, whereupon a new palace was built on the same site. The principal object of
interest
  hi the old palace was the throne, which is said to have been presented to Chikka Deva Raj by the emperor Aurangzeb. The houses of the European residents are for the most part to the
east
  of the town. The residency or government
house
  was built in i8o5. The building afterwards used for the
district
  offices was originally built by Colonel Wellesley (duke of
Wellington
 ) for his own occupation. The domed building for the public offices in Gordon Park, the Maharaja's College, the Victoria
Jubilee
  Institute, and the law courts are conspicuous. Mysore, though the dynastic
capital
  of the state, was superseded by
Seringapatam
  as the seat of the court from 1610 to 1799, and in 1831, on the British occupation, the seat of administration was removed to
Bangalore
 .
