Introduction:
Mysore city was the capital of the old royal Mysore province. The word Mysore expands to “ Mahishasurana ooru” which means the town of mahishasura . the Story goes that the demon Mahishasura was killed by goddess chamundeshwari atop the Chamundi hills near Mysore, hence the name. Ever since ,the mysore royal family has worshipped chamundeshwari as the palace dirty.et
The wodeyar family ruled Mysore since 14th century except for a short period of 40 year when Hyder ali and Tipu sultan were the rulers.
During summer holidays, I visited mysore, a lovely place with experience amazing monuments,enormous palaces. Mysore is a majority tourist attraction in Karnataka and when my cousin’s visited fom Hyderabad, we decide to go see this historic city. I love going such trips: so with my heart pounding with great excitement and anticipation, we beagn our trip and it turned out to be one of the most glorious and action-packed ones that I have had so far.
The first place we visited in Mysore was the beautiful Mysore palace, belonging to the wodeyar Dynasty. We were astounded by its beauty as it shimmered ,sparkled and shone in the light of the midday sun. We heard that the current scion of the wodeyar Dynasty still lives behind the palace and participate in functions during the Dussehra festival.
Next, we visited a really old museum/ art gallery near the palace it had neat sculptures. But the most fabulous thins for me in that museu / art gallery were the paintings by the great painter Raja Ravi Varma. He drew and painted his paintings with his own incredible style, that tha paintings almost looked like thay were alive: and that’s the reason why the paintings were the best amongst all the Ravi Varma paintings.
After we reached Mysore by travelling uphills in Bavani hills located in Erode. Climate was really chilly there. I was amused on the natural scenery of Mysore. Sandalwood smell and rose smell will be frequently blown in air. We bought sandal soaps and sandal powders in Mysore which is really famous there.
Then next day we went to Chamundi hills, and the views form there were quite breathtaking. However, watch out for the monkeys and pestering hawkers who roam around the Temple of Chamundeshwari.
Then that day after we visited to zoo it was very oldest zoo in our country. It is the one of the most cities popular attractions . In that time there was so many tourists are visited to the zoo . School children’s , family trips and other countries people’s are enjoying to see that zoo.
That day night we visited to KRS dam . It was an delight to see in our eyes the colour of water and dancing water it was seeing like heaven . There was soo much crowd and it was complete fastly we are talking about this after we was reached to our rooms.
Like we visited there near Mysore all places. We are enjoyed so much my family members are also saying this was an amazing trip.
Mysore was my favorite place.
“ Life was meant for great adventures and family”……..
