Mysore is one of my favorite cities in India. The reasons for this are not that obvious. There are no important sights to visit, no mindboggling temples or forts. It's also not a particularly beautiful place. But there is something about the people that I really liked. They are open and friendly. When I was walking through the streets of Mysore I was very often waved at, to come over and sit down and have a short chat… so often, that I had to decline many times, as I wanted to cover some ground and get some photos in the limited time I had in this friendly city.

"Garadis" as they are locally called are small training schools for the traditional Indian Wrestling.
This one in particular was over 100 years old. Every stain on the wall had a story to tell but no one to listen to them anymore...
The Palace of Mysore was the official residence of the former royal family of Mysore, and also housed the Durbar (ceremonial meeting hall of the royal court). Designed by Henry Irwin, the palace was completed in 1911 on the foundations of the old Palace that was destroyed by fire in 1897. The palace has now been converted into a museum displaying souvenirs, paintings, jewellery, royal costumes and other items, which were once possessed by the Wodeyars royal family. The exterior of the Palace has Indo-Saracenic features with a series of domes and arches and exquisitely carved doors open into stunningly luxurious rooms.
The most beautiful.. and pride of India - India's National bird.

I have taken this picture of Mysore Palace (India) a long time ago but never got to posting it to Flickr. It's a beautiful palace and well worth a visit of you ever find yourself in Mysore. The image was processed in Lightroom and then Topaz Adjust to give it an HDR-look.

I am back after a refreshing trip to Wayanad in Kerala over the last week. From paradise straight to the cauldron called work - this sums up my condition at present. Still managed to squeeze in this upload :)
Shot this in Mysore last week. Stitched from 3 pictures. This is one of the entrances to the Mysore Palace.
EXIF:
Nikon D70, F/22, 24mm (~36mm), ISO 200, 10 sec exposure.
more from the trip coming soon (as soon as i manage to get some more spare time)
Mysore Palace, Mysore, Karnataka, India.
This is the last of my series on Mysore Palace. I tried to create an aged sepia look here. This picture was taken from the eastern entrance of the Palace in the early morning. Since the Palace is facing east, the January sunrays hit the palace sideways. This is an HDR image and I further processed using Nik Silver Efex Pro.

The Palace of Mysore (also known as the Amba Vilas Palace) is a palace situated in the city of Mysore in southern India. It is the official residence of the Wodeyars - the erstwhile royal family of Mysore that ruled the princely state of Mysore for over seven centuries, and also houses two durbar halls (ceremonial meeting hall of the royal court).
Mysore is commonly described as the City of Palaces, however, the term "Mysore Palace" specifically refers to one within the old fort. The Wodeyar kings first built a palace in Mysore in the 14th century, it was demolished and constructed multiple times. The current palace construction was commissioned in 1897, and it was completed in 1912 and expanded later around 1940.
Shot @ Mysore Palace Night, Mysore, August 2011.
