Founded in 1916 by the Maharaja of Mysore, this was the sixth university in India and the first established outside British-administered territory. It is best known as the home of modern Kannada literature: Kuvempu, U. R. Ananthamurthy and S. L. Bhyrappa all passed through it, and R. K. Narayan wrote his first Malgudi stories as a graduate here. Its Manasagangotri campus beside the Kukkarahalli lake is one of the most attractive in south India.
