ಲಾನ್ಸ್ಡೌನ್ ಬಜಾರ್ ಕಟ್ಟಡ ಮೈಸೂರು History of Lansdowne Building Mysore to honor Viceroy and Governor General Henry Charles Keit Petty Fitzmaurice, 5th Marquess of Lansdowne Mysore heritage and historic building Karnataka Heritage tourism
The Lansdowne Building was constructed on November 19, 1892, while the Devaraja Market is about 130 years old. As no specific details are available as to when exactly the Market was constructed, let me trace the historic background of the Lansdowne Bazaars, as it was called when it was built in honour of the visiting Viceroy and Governor-General, Lord Lansdowne.
Lord Lansdowne
Henry Charles Keit Petty-Fitzmaurice was born in an Irish family of Barons and Baronesses and Earls and Viscounts on January 14, 1845. He was transferred to India as Under Secretary in April 1880 and was appointed as the Viceroy of India, succeeding Lord Dufferin. He occupied this post on December 10, 1888 and served for over six years, till 1894.
During his term as Viceroy and Governor-General of India, Lansdowne made some notable contributions which included founding of an Imperial Library and Record Office, reorganising the Police, reconstituting the legislative councils, extending railway and irrigation works, passing an Act to protect girls up to the age of 12, revising the Factory Act, and improving the law for preventing cruelty to animals.
Lansdowne visited Mysuru in November 1892. He was the second Viceroy to visit Mysore after restoration of administrative powers to Chamaraja Wadiyar. Earlier in 1886, Lord Dufferin had visited Mysore.
Lansdowne was accompanied by Lady Lansdowne and his staff. They arrived at Mysore on November 10. A deputation of the Maharaja met the Viceregal couple at Srirangapatna and at the Mysore Railway Station they were received by the Maharaja and others with pomp and ceremonial, usual on such occasions.
From there, they proceeded to the Government House, prepared for their stay. Along the procession route, the Viceroy and his wife were greeted by Pundits and Moulvis, students of the Wesleyan and the Maharani’s Girls’ Schools seated on the galleries, Mysore City Municipal Commissioner, leading landholders and merchants of the State assembled under a pavilion erected at the North Gate of the Fort. The Municipal Commissioner presented an address of welcome to the Viceroy.
Next day, there was an exchange of visit, the Maharaja visiting the Viceroy, accompanied by the principal officers of the State, at the Viceregal Residency (the present Government House was the Residency then) and the Viceroy visiting on the Maharaja in the Palace. In the evening, the Maharaja entertained the guests at a State Banquet at the Jaganmohan Palace. Among those present was Dewan K. Seshadri Iyer.
The Mysuru City Corporation passed the decision in 2017 and forwarded it to the government. But later, an expert committee on Mysuru heritage development submitted a report to restore them, while the state-level task force advised demolition and reconstruction of the two structure, said Mysuru City Corporation Commissioner K.H. Jagadeesh.
The scion of royal family Yaduveer Krishnadatta Chamaraja Wadiyar in his Facebook post has stated, "This resolution is an extremely disturbing stance.
Mysore's Heritage tag itself will be in jeopardy if we go about demolishing every structure and taking the easy way out. I have always maintained, and continue to be of the opinion that our heritage is the life blood of Mysore and protecting it is our foremost duty. I propose that the Government handover the restoration to a reputable organization that has the capability to restore the structures, and do the needful to ensure that our built heritage remains standing for future generations to enjoy."

Dear Sudeesh, I am happy that you have done a video on "Lansdowne building" which is one of the beautiful heritage of Mysore. When I was studying PUC in the year 1966, there was Murthy Book House from where we use to purchase books. I support to save the heritage buildings and other monuments including market building.
