K for Karnataka state. Here I am giving you two photos clicked at the place of  Kudala, the confluence of three rivers.In fact Kaveri mixed with two tributaries at this pilgrim place called Bhagamandala.Nearer to Talakaveri, a well known tourist place in Karnataka state.It was at the time of past evening,so very few people were seen here and the ambiance was very nice with lush green atmosphere.

 Catch up this board while returning from Talakaveri.This was a hotel where we have taken meals,abundant facilities were there for every kind of tourists.Great experience to be rounding in the woods of Coorg area.That's what I feel about it without second thought.

H for Hut.The hut we are seeing here is clicked at the botanical gardens located at Ooty or Udagamandalam.The structure installed here as the model of Toda tribals' residing place.A Thatched hut built in its own style.Some forest products were being sold there along with typical textiles..  

In the second pic,straight shot surrounded by visitors.Botanical gardens is full of colossal trees,plants and flowers taken from different places.The place is familiar for movie goers before being there since the locations were immensely shot in the pictures irrespective of languages.As Ooty is on high altitude , weather makes one happier with lush green ambiance.

Towering trees give us a feel of being in a forest.Downward,sprawling lawn along with flower plantation.Visitors seemed to be from many parts of the country.Age gets immaterial in the lap of nature.

This is from another view.

Our World Tuesday

Mysore palace needs no introduction.Here it is for you through my lenses.So regal in every aspect but the branches of tree and other greenery  over there gave extra beauty,if you can view it carefully.In fact,It was not planned and sometimes things would go like that.  

At the entrance point, there was a vendor selling old coins and toy cycles.Could be useful for philatelists.Wish there were more of Mysore kingdom.Cycles looked the replicas of actual ones and the size doesn't matter sometimes.

A Media person was speaking to visitors.No doubt NDTV.Perhaps they were  making comments on Palace related issues.No camera man was in the frame since  the child overlapped the view all of a sudden.

Chamundi Hills Temple

Goddess Chamundeswari is the presiding deity at the Chamundi hills and  the temple is 13 k.m. away from Mysore,Karnataka.That day,when we visited the place was  witnessed by  large turn out of   pilgrims.Outside the temple,there were many vendors selling their products.

Demon like statue  here in the picture is called Mahisasura.It looked so  prominent soon after we afoot in the  premises  of the temple.The hill is 3,489 feet above the sea level.With lots of  vehicles over there ,  the place  seemed busy all the days.mysore  kings patronized the temple  in a  great  way.

This is the part of glimpses during the uphill journey.Cool breeze and eye feasting lush green take take us to most happy state.Pilgrims were seemingly from many states.
