The Mysore Palace
Ambavilas Palace, more famously known as the Mysore Palace, is a historical palace and a royal residence at Mysore in the southern state of Karnataka, in India. It is the official residence of the Wadiyar dynasty (pending a court case against the state govt. which is making acquisition attempts) and the seat of the Kingdom of Mysore. Every evening there is a magnificent laser sound & light show at the end of which the palace is lit up for a few minutes. This shot was clicked then. Keeping this light show in mind I had debated taking my compact tabletop tripod on the trip but finally decided against taking it. So this shot, with a 3.2 second exposure, was taken with the camera placed on a height with the 18-135mm kit lens propped slightly upwards with the help of a spare camera battery I had with me. Incidentally, the Mysore Palace is now one of the most famous tourist attractions in India, after the Taj Mahal, with more than 6 million annual visitors.
