Here and There: Mysore (Bandipur)


This fierce, sinister-looking devil named Mahishasura, stands right at the entrance to the Chamundeshwari Hills. One must pass through his sinister gaze to reach the precincts of the temple.

Here and There: Mysore (Bandipur)


Those are real wild elephants you see. The picture is not too clear. You cannot imagine what happened. The darned KSRTC bus, upon sighting the elephants decided to stay away as far as possible. It has been known widely that angry elephants do create havoc. The driver was a cautious fellow, no doubt, but I missed my good pics. (Between Gundlupet-Sulthan Battery)

Here and There: Mysore


By the Bull! Enroute Chamundeshwari Hills in Mysore is this magnificient "bull god". Say your prayers here. Quite advisable. Though many believe that you should not seek the blessings of this bull god if you are engaged etc. Apparently you break-up soon after. I am wondering what happens if you are not "engaged". Do you find your soul mate?
