T.S. Subramanya, Deputy Director, Mysuru Palace Board told The Hindu, “The visitors’ numbers show the popularity of the palace as a tourist destination here. Imagine over one lakh tourists in four days – about 25,000 visitors every day which is something remarkable post-pandemic. With this number, we can say the pre-COVID-19 scenario is returning.”
