Mysore

Made it to Mysore today. The Mysore Palace was built in 1901-5 - the royal family still lives there but major portions are open to the public for a fee. Pic is dark because of clouds - sorry.
When India gained its independence from Britain - it is said that most of the Indian population wanted Mysore to be united India's capital. However, the folks in northern India controlled most of the money in the country & Mysore is now a secondary tourist attraction known for its silk products.
Tomorrow I'm off to another wildlife sanctuary & a "home stay"!
