Different Hues of My Mind

December 7, 2010 - Horse carts, Bangalore Palace The Bangalore Palace stands in contrast with the glitz and buzz of the silicon city, located in the sprawling Palace Grounds, the palace offers a peak into the history of Bangalore city. Entry to the palace costs Rs. 175, and you get an "audioguide" - a recorded narration of the significance of the different areas of the palace. If you pay Rs. 500 for the camera ticket, then you can take photographs inside and outside the palace. This photo is of the horse driven carts parked in front of the palace.

December 25, 2010 - Tunga River, Sringeri Sringeri is a holy town in the Malnad (Western Ghats) region of Karnataka. Here the temples of Goddess Sharadamba and Lord Vidyashankara are located on the banks of River Tunga. There is a bridge connecting the other side of the river where the Peetham is established. Meals are offered to all the devotees visiting the shrine. The atmosphere here is very relaxing and one feels rejuvenated after spending some time here in the evening.

October 31, 2010 - Ladies Seat, Yercaud A famous viewpoint in Yercaud, allows for beautiful view of plains in the day. When we visited this viewpoint in daylight, the entire place was completely covered in mist and there was no view available. An autorikshaw guy persuaded us to visit the place in the night (for his benefit), but in the end it evened out pretty well. We got a stunning night view of Salem City.
