This was not the first time that we(Priyam and myself) visited mysore. Infact, over the last 4 years , there had been umpteen number of times when we would have passed through Mysore. So, what is it that made this visit particularly special? Hmm.. Warrants a thought …

This is how it all started. merely used to be a milestone during the course of the journey. This time, it was totally unplanned. We had started out with an intention of going to Srirangapatna (10kms beforemysore if one is coming from Bangalore). Here’s how it all started.

Hence, we decided to move on further till Mysore and then come back to Ranganathittu after 2 hrs or so.
