The Devaraja Market (approx 120 yrs old) in Mysore is a great place to get a flavor of the local people's daily life. This is a good sample of a traditional Indian market place that is colorful, noisy, vibrant and a bit chaotic.
You will find a great mix of incense shops,seeds,souvenir stalls, vegetables,spices and beautiful flowers and much more, the fragrances of the flowers and spices is a delight and to watch the garland makers and incense makers is an artistic affair on it's own. The entrance of this market facing the Dufferin Clock Tower is floaded with truckloads of bananas, mangos and sugar cane. There is no cold storage here and everything is raw and straight from the farm to the market to the homes. Discounts start at closing hour.
