Mysore historical and oldest city of India
Short brief history of Mysore city of India
Mysore is the third-largest city in the state of Karnataka, India, which served as the capital city of Mysore Princely Kingdom for nearly six centuries, from 1399 until 1947.
The Mysore Kingdom, governed by the Wodeyar family, initially served as a Vassal State of the Vijayanagara Empire. With the decline of the Vijayanagara Empire after the Battle of Talikota
in 1565, the Mysore Kingdom gradually achieved independence, and by the
time of King Narasaraja Wodeyar (1637) it had become a sovereign state.Seringapatam (modern-day Srirangapatna), near Mysore, was the capital of the kingdom from 1610. The 17th century saw a steady expansion of its territory and, under Narasaraja Wodeyar and Chikka Devaraja Wodeyar,
the kingdom annexed large expanses of what is now southern Karnataka
and parts of Tamil Nadu, to become a powerful state in the southern Deccan.
After Tipu Sultan's death in theFourth Anglo Mysore War in 1799, the capital of the kingdom was moved back to Mysore from Seringapatam,
and the kingdom was distributed by the British to their allies of the
Fourth Mysore war. The landlocked interior of the previous Mysore
Kingdom was turned into a Princely State under the Suzerainty of the British Crown. The former Wodeyar rulers were reinstated as puppet monarchs now styled Maharajas. The British administration was assisted locally by Diwan (chief minister) Purnaiah. Purnaiah is credited with improving Mysore's public works. Mysore lost its status as the administrative centre of the kingdom in 1831, when the British commissioner moved the capital to Banglore. It regained that status in 1881 and remained the capital of the Princely State of Mysore within the British Indian Empire until India became independent in 1947.
