During our one-day trip to Mysuru on 17th Dec 2023 our first stop was at Srirangapatna. As it was Dhanur Masam we visited Sri Ranganatha Swamy temple and had the divine darshan of Sri Ranganatha Swamy and Sri Ranganayaki. From here we stopped at a local hotel and had light food as it was around 2 p.m. Our next visit was to Sri Chamundeshwari temple and felt blessed to have the darshan of Sri Chamundi Devi. We then rushed to Mysore Maharaja Palace and reached the place at around 4.30 p.m. Hardly one hour time was left with us to see inside the Royal Palace as the visitors are not allowed to stay inside the Palace after 6 p.m. We had a wonderful experience at Mysore Maharaja Palace . As it was Sunday the Palace was heavily crowded with visitors. Earlier in 2008 when we visited the Palace, I remember, we moved inside the Palace freely but the visitors have to walk in barricaded lines. As it was almost 5 p.m. we rushed into the Palace after leaving our chappals at the specified counte...

One of the cherished moments during our 5-day trip to Bengaluru was a day trip to Mysuru. Our first stop was at Sri Ranganatha Swamy, Srirangapatna which was on the way to Mysuru.

On repeated requests from the readers, I am posting a series of my travel memories which include my visits to various locations across the world in the past. This post is a recollection of our visit to Mysore which was a part of our trip to Ooty in September 2007. We proceed to Mysuru (Mysore) from Ooty by State Road Transport bus for sight-seeing.
