Krishnaraja Circle, also known as KR circle, is one of the best shopping centers of
Mysore. It lies in the heart of the city and is to the north-western corner of

The circle was established somewhere around 1950s and the statue of Maharaja Krishnaraja Wodeyar is the main attraction. The statue consists of a hexagonal umbrella and a ribbed dome over it. The circle also forms the intersecting point of Sayyaji Rao Road, Albert Victor Road and Devaraj Urs Road.
