Mysore or Mysuru? A Visitor’s Guide to Both Names

Mysuru is the official name and Mysore remains widely used in conversation and familiar names such as Mysore Palace. A change in spelling on your map does not mean a change of city.

Match the station or street

When sharing a pickup, send a pin and the specific entrance rather than just the city name. Do the same for a hotel with more than one branch.

Search both names

Try both spellings when comparing older guidebooks with maps. Then check the actual address, because similarly named attractions and streets can be far apart.

Use the spelling that helps the person you’re talking to

Mysore is natural when discussing the palace or a familiar route. Use Mysuru if you’re matching the name printed in a current address. On a trip note, “Mysore (Mysuru)” can help visiting friends recognise both.
