Krishnarajanagara

Krishnarajanagara or K.R. Nagar is a riverside paddyfield township in Mysore District in Karnataka, India. It was home to 36,000 people in 2011.

Understand
Krishnarajanagara was founded between 1920s and 1930s as a new town, when a flood by river Kaveri damaged the nearby old town called Yedatore. The town was shifted to a place 4.5 km (3 miles) south and at a higher elevation, now called Krishnarajanagara. It was named after Krisharaja Wodeyar, the maharaja of Mysore.
