It was wonderful to visit Mysore Palace after a very long time. I guess the last time I visited was when I was 6 yrs old or so. With camera in my hands, it was a great pleasure to explore the beautiful architecture decked up with sparkling lights. I have seen many outstanding pictures of the palace.

As Dusshera is just around the corner, I would like to wish you all a very happy festival.

Cheers,
