Mysore is one place famous for lot of things. The Mysore Maharaja Palace,Brindavan, Chamundeeswari temple, Lalit Mahal, Mysore Zoo and more. We visited all the above except the Lalit Mahal
We ( Me and My family) reached Mysore by noon around 1 PM by bus. we bought our Lunch and went to the room which we had booked earlier. We had our Lunch in the room and booked a cab to visit the Brindhavan. By the time we went there it was dusk. So we couldn't see the beauty of the gardens. All we could see was the Light and sound show. We walked over a bridge which must be at least a KM long and crowded with people. Walking to the end was a square setup with all pipes. It was just a 10 minute show where we witnessed water dance with all the lightings. It was awesome to watch it dance for the Bollywood songs like "Nimuda Nimuda"and ended with patriotic songs like Vandematharam and sare Jahan se.
We watched 2 such shows and walked back to the entrance. The day ended well. The next day we planned to visit 3 places before we catch the bus to Ooty.First we headed straight to the Chamundeeshwari temple in chamundi hills. Had a Good darshan of the Devi and took photographs in front of the temple. Also did some shopping through the streets of the temple, had our Break fast and headed towards the zoo. We also witnessed sight seeing spot where our car driver showed us the view of the entire Mysore from the Chamundi hills. He also showed the Big Nandhi.
We went in to the Zoo which was neatly maintained. I really loved the zoo. We could see lot of birds and animals very close to one another in close proximity that we didnt feel that the walk was tiring. Unlike the Zoos of Vandalur which covers long distance, it wasn't tiring. From one horned rhinosorous to Giraffe to elephants, we saw all herbivorous and carnivorous including different types of snakes.
Post visitng the Zoo, we went straight to the Mysore Palace. We did not have enough time to see the palace fully. Still I was awe stuck seeing the paintings in the walls and the dooms. Also it was wonderful seeing the Dias of the King and his Ministers. the Hall was very broad. It was said that the palace became prey of fire sometime and was rebuilt. There were photographs of the royal family and a wax statue of the last king who ruled Mysore.. This much is all that remember now. ( It had been 2 months now). There was Elephant safari and krishna temple by the side of the palace. But we didnt have time to cover all those. we bought our lunch and headed to room, had our lunch by 4 PM , packed and started to Ooty.. A good day and memory it is..!
