ಮೈಸೂರು weekend

ಮೈಸೂರು is the second largest city in the state of Karnataka, India. It lies about 146 km (91 mi) southwest of Bangalore, the capital of Karnataka. The name Mysore is an anglicised version of Mahishūru, which means the abode of Mahisha. Mahisha stands for Mahishasura, a demon from Hindu mythology. Mysore has its mention in the Mahabharata as Mahishaka Kingdom in ancient India. The city is spread across an area of 128.42 km2 (50 sq mi) and is situated at the base of the Chamundi Hills.
Mysore is famous for the festivities that take place during the Dasara festival when the city receives a large number of tourists. Mysore also lends its name to the Mysore mallige, the Mysore style of painting, the sweet dish Mysore Pak, the Mysore Peta (a traditional silk turban) and the garment called the Mysore silk saree. In an exercise carried out by the Urban Development Ministry under the national urban sanitation policy, Mysore was rated the second cleanest city in India in 2010 and the cleanest in Karnataka.

In this there are no photos of the city or places around ಮೈಸೂರು, its about a weekend trip to ಮೈಸೂರು after the Dasara festival.

After a very long time, i got a chance of taking photo's of ಮೈಸೂರು palace in the night and there are some of the birds photographs around ಮೈಸೂರು.
