Brindavan Gardens & KRS Dam
ಬೃಂದಾವನ ಉದ್ಯಾನ
Terraced gardens below KRS Dam, where the evening musical fountain light show is Mysuru's classic night out.
The gardens lie about 20 km northwest of Mysuru, below the Krishnarajasagara (KRS) Dam completed in 1932. Modelled on Mughal gardens, they stretch for roughly 60 acres of tiered terraces, fountains and flower beds. The highlight is the musical fountain show in the northern section after dark, usually around 19:00 on weekdays and 19:00–20:00 on weekends, with times changing by season. Entry costs about 100 rupees, plus a camera fee. Boats can take you across to the northern side. Weekends are very crowded and traffic jams after the show are common, so hiring a car is a good idea.
Opening hours
Approx. 07:00–20:00 (music fountain from approx. 19:00)
