01What the data says — and does not say
This page separates the checked GeoNames row for Mysore—920,550, Asia/Kolkata, and source coordinates—from live travel claims. Those fields identify and compare the record; they do not prove current transport, accessibility, census totals, or a City Atlas Club visit.
Wikidata's localized description: city in the state of Karnataka, India.
02This city's dataset fingerprint
The source row behind Mysore is GeoNames ID 1262321. Its recorded administrative path is Mysore → Karnataka → India, and GeoNames classifies the place as a second-order administrative seat. Mysuru occurs once as a primary city label in this atlas sample; the numeric ID remains the durable source key if names change. The city row itself was updated 2025-05-24; that date belongs to the source record, not to every transport or visitor detail in the real destination.
Within the fixed 1,206-record atlas, Mysore ranks 598 by recorded population. Inside the 109 selected India entries it ranks 61; inside the 632 entries in its broad region it ranks 348. Its 920,550 population value is 0.92 times the 1,001,694 median for the country cohort and 0.91 times the 1,008,426 regional median. Mysore sits in the lower half of this atlas's selected India entries. Mysore's recorded value stays within one quarter of the country-cohort median used here. These comparisons describe this selected dataset only; they are not current census rankings or official urban-area boundaries.
Mysore's three nearest other atlas coordinates are Bengaluru at 127.834 km with 8,495,492 recorded people; Coimbatore at 148.047 km with 2,136,916 recorded people; Kozhikode at 149.563 km with 550,440 recorded people. The closest-to-farthest distance spread is 21.729 km. Compared with Bengaluru, Mysore's recorded population is 0.11 times as large. Against Mysore, Bengaluru follows Bangalore Urban → Karnataka → India in the source. Its point has higher latitude and higher longitude; it belongs to the same selected India cohort, uses the shared Asia/Kolkata identifier, and carries first-order administrative seat rather than second-order administrative seat. Its recorded population is above Mysore's. Against Mysore, Coimbatore follows Coimbatore → Tamil Nadu → India in the source. Its point has lower latitude and higher longitude; it belongs to the same selected India cohort, uses the shared Asia/Kolkata identifier, and carries populated place rather than second-order administrative seat. Its recorded population is above Mysore's. Against Mysore, Kozhikode follows Kozhikode → Kerala → India in the source. Its point has lower latitude and lower longitude; it belongs to the same selected India cohort, uses the shared Asia/Kolkata identifier, and carries the same second-order administrative seat class. Its recorded population is below Mysore's. Its nearest-neighbor distance ranks 810 of 1,206 from shortest to longest in the same snapshot. Mysore's nearest-coordinate gap belongs to the wider half of atlas distances. This pattern can reveal whether other catalog references are geographically close, but it cannot establish whether a border crossing is possible or practical, or whether rail, road, fare, or journey-time connections exist. Read as one record signature, GeoNames 1262321, the coordinate pair 12.2979 / 76.6393, country rank 61 of 109, and neighbor GeoNames 1277333 at 127.834 km bind Mysore to a reproducible comparison. That combined key distinguishes the row; it is not a recommendation or evidence of a physical connection.
Mysore's reference point is 12.2979° north and 76.6393° east. The IANA identifier Asia/Kolkata is shared by 109 city rows in this catalog, while the GeoNames class PPLA2 is shared by 341 rows. Mysore's row carries both second- and first-order administrative labels. Mysore's point falls in the near-equatorial coordinate band used by this atlas's row checks. Mysore's time-zone field defines the narrower catalog cohort; its place class is shared more broadly. GeoNames supplies no elevation for Mysore, so the profile preserves that missing value instead of guessing terrain. Together these fields form a reproducible identity check for this page, not a claim about walkability, climate or accessibility.
