K.R. Market

Set on a historical battlefield location dating back to the eighteenth century, the K.R. Market is now used for more genteel purposes. K.R Market is short for Krishna Rajendra Market, named to honor one of the erstwhile rulers of the princely state of Mysore. The market is known to be the largest flower market in all of Asia, besides also being recognized for its wholesale commodities trading. This bustling marketplace was first established in 1928 and can be easily recognized today by the swirls of flower garlands that dot the streets everyday.
