The kingdom was ruled by the Wadiyar dynasty and had a brief hiatus in his late 18th century when Heidel Ali and Tipu Sultan came to power.  Wadiyars were patrons of arts and culture. Tipu Sultan and Hyder Ali contributed greatly to the cultural and economic growth of the city and state by planting mulberry trees, introducing silk to the region, and he waged four wars against the British. . Mysore's cultural atmosphere and achievements have earned it the nickname of the cultural capital of Karnataka.
