Jeweld Mysore Palace

I remember the first time when i visited Mysore, i was probably 6 year old. My uncle used to reside there and i used to dreadfully wait for my summer vacation as an excuse to escape to this extraordinary town.

Even with countless visits, this town treasures abundance of knowledge on history each time.

Mysore is known as city of palaces located in southern part of Karnataka. From art, culture, sandalwood, silk and the sweet this city offers everything that is magical.

Although visiting this place numerous times, i could not witness the night-view of the palace and this time no one was stopping me to do it.
