Jayalakshmipuram & Vontikoppal (2026 Guide): Heritage Living, Kalidasa Road & Parks
Named after Princess Jayalakshmi Ammani, Jayalakshmipuram was planned in the early 20th century as a premier garden suburb for royal ministers, high-court judges, and senior university academics. Its wide streets are shaded by century-old mahogany and gulmohar trees.
Today, the neighborhood combines old-world charm with contemporary energy: Kalidasa Road serves as Mysuru’s upscale high street for local fashion boutiques, artisan sweet shops, and family restaurants.
