लोग
| नाम | वर्ष | क्षेत्र | किसलिए मशहूर |
|---|---|---|---|
| Kempe Gowda I | c. 1510–1569 | Chieftain and town founder | Laid out the fortified market town of Bengaluru in 1537 as a grid of trade streets under the Vijayanagara order, and built the tanks that watered it. The four towers he is said to have set at the town's intended limits are still standing, several kilometres inside the modern city. |
| Hyder Ali | c. 1720–1782 | Ruler and soldier | Rose through the Mysore army to run the state in fact if not in name, rebuilt it around a professional infantry and artillery, and began the garden at Lalbagh. His administration is the hinge between the older Wadiyar kingdom and the eighteenth-century power that fought four wars with the Company. |
| Tipu Sultan | 1751–1799 | Ruler | Ruled from Srirangapatna until he was killed defending it in 1799. Sent an embassy to Bengal in 1785 to bring back sericulture, which is the origin of the silk economy the region still runs on, and pushed iron-cased rockets far enough that captured examples were studied in England. |
| Krishnaraja Wadiyar IV | 1884–1940 | Maharaja | Presided over the most deliberately developmental princely state in India — hydro-electricity, the Krishnaraja Sagara, a university, a sandalwood oil factory and soap works, a sericulture department and a legislative assembly that predated most in British India. He also kept the palace painting workshop and the veena establishment on the payroll. |
| M. Visvesvaraya | 1861–1962 | Engineer and administrator | Born at Muddenahalli on the plateau; invented the automatic gated weir before he came home, served as Dewan of Mysore from 1912 to 1918, and built the Krishnaraja Sagara. His birthday is observed as Engineers' Day in India. |
| Mirza Ismail | 1883–1959 | Administrator | Dewan from 1926 to 1941, and the man who gave Bengaluru and Mysuru their planned avenues, park frontages and public buildings. He treated town planning as a state function at a time when almost nobody in India did. |
| Veena Sheshanna | 1852–1926 | Musician | Palace vainika whose playing defined the Mysore school of the instrument, and a composer who wrote in both Carnatic and Hindustani idioms for a court that listened to both. |
| Mysore Vasudevacharya | 1865–1961 | Composer | A student of the Tyagaraja lineage who spent his life in Mysuru and left several hundred compositions in Sanskrit and Telugu that remain standard concert repertoire. |
| K. Venkatappa | 1887–1965 | Painter | Trained in the Bengal School under Abanindranath Tagore and returned to work under palace patronage, producing the Ooty and Kodaikanal landscape watercolours that hang in the gallery named for him in Bengaluru. He refused commissions he thought beneath the work, and died without selling most of it. |
| R. K. Narayan | 1906–2001 | Novelist | Wrote fourteen novels set in the invented small town of Malgudi, assembled largely out of Mysuru, where he lived for most of his life. The books are the closest thing the region has to a continuous social record of its twentieth century. |
| Masti Venkatesha Iyengar | 1891–1986 | Writer | Called the father of the Kannada short story, and a civil servant in the Mysore administration while he wrote. Awarded the Jnanpith in 1983. |
| Gubbi Veeranna | 1891–1972 | Theatre | Ran the largest of the Kannada touring theatre companies out of Gubbi in Tumakuru, with elephants, hydraulic stage effects and a payroll of hundreds. Most of the first generation of Kannada film actors came through it. |
| Rajkumar | 1929–2006 | Actor and singer | Born at Gajanur on the southern forest edge and trained in company theatre; carried the Kannada film industry for four decades and sang his own playback, which almost no leading actor of his era did. |
