Geography & terrain

Srirangapatna lies in the Mandya district of Karnataka, 120 km from Bengaluru and 15 km from Mysuru — the island fort town of the region, its 1799 battle, the Tipu relics and the temples set on the Kaveri's island.

History & culture

The town's story runs with the 1799 battle era — the island fort town of the 1799 battle and the 18th-century-era life of the Tipu era, with the town's modern role as the heritage stop of the Mysuru circuit and the home of the 1799-era fort and the Tipu palace and the Ranganathaswamy temple; the town's history of the 2000s-era restorations and the bridge walks, gives Srirangapatna its island character.
