City of Palaces

We had a quick stay in Mysore or Mysuru in India. This city of 1 million is known for is palaces of which there are seven. The largest and best known is Mysore Palace.

On the nights of Sunday and holidays the palaces are lit up and outlined with lights. We were in Mysore on Eid, the end of Ramadan and the lights were on.

From a window in our hotel we had a beautiful view of the Mysore Palace outlined in white lights. We were both trying to take pictures and just as we were about to figured out, the lights went out!

Most of these pictures are from a tuk tuk; so lots of bouncing, in motion and you sure don’t want to stick you arm out to take a photo as it may be taken off.

Here’s the photo work in progress just about there.

A hindu temple. Many are white or off white others are very colorful.

Myore is a colorful city, this is just one example.
Much of the architecture of Mysore had these domes. This on is in a traffic circle.
