They manage to find guest houses in Lakshmipuram, Contour Road, Vijaynagar, Kuvempunagar, Bogadhi, and V.V Mohalla, Gokulam and Yadavgiri. These foreigners appear to police stations and later they disappear. It becomes difficult for police to trace them. Police has instructed Yoga schools to teach yoga to only those who arrive on student visa. Police have also instructed hotels to provide details of their foreign visitors. It is found that many foreigners visit Mysore on a rotational basis and run a mega business of running guest houses. They confined these guest houses to foreigners only because they prefer to stay together for security reasons. Once they get the certification from these yoga schools, they earn substantial amount back home.
