Had a wonderful weekend trip to Mysore with my team mates and a special colleague from Germany! I was quite disappointed that we changed plans in the morning from Belur & Halebeedu to Mysore. I was all set to shoot architecture, art and sculpture! I then reset my mind to go completely abstract. It was absolutely amazing to capture the unseen/ rarely observed parts and pieces by focusing on clicking abstract.

We had a nice breakfast in Kamath Lokaruchi. Visited Chamundeshwari temple and it was quite amazing how I and my friends felt about Mahishasura. As kids, we used to find the statue of Mahishasura to be huge but now he looks small :)
We then roamed around and inside Mysore Palace. I got fascinated by the 3D paintings. Unfortunately, we were not allowed to take pictures inside the palace.
We then had a nice long lunch in Lalit Mahal restaurant. Walked around the campus and started back to Bangalore.

Thanks to my colleagues for such a beautiful day! :)
