Matsya Mela 2011-

Matsya Mela 2011 (Fish Exhibition 2011)

This was the first time this mela was organised by the fisheries department of Karnataka. The exhibition took place at Palace ground, Bangalore from 18th to 21 Feb 2011I had visited with my nephews. Once we reached Palace grounds, we saw there was hectic traffic on the road. The entry to the exhibition was through Tripura Vasini gate and entry to Matsya Mela was free. The erected dolphins side by side at the gate and the entrance we were allowed to walk inside a mouth of a fish.


After entering into the mouth fromthe entrance, on to the right hand side, we saw a pond which is showing a reflection of sunset. there were few crabs in the pond to make us feel the Matsya Mela.
Further inside we saw the display of aquariums with displaying various kind of fishes. There were really very different types of fishes, but it looking like entering into Auqarium Musem, we came to know most of these aquariums were part of some competition put on display by hobbyist.
