Trip To Mysore Palace
The Mysore Palace is one of the main tourist attractions of Mysore Town. It was noon when v reached the Mysore Palace. The ticket counter is at the south gate. Admission fee is 20 rupees, and you'll have to leave your camera (5 rupees) and shoes (50 paise per pair) outside. It is required to remove shoes before entering the palace and also no photography is allowed in the palace. Before we enter in the palace we can find two Hindu Temples. About the interior of the palace is beyond description. It is absolutely wonderful. The palace is full of beautiful stained- glass windows, glazed tile and amazing art. After entering the palace, the first main room you come to, is the marriage hall, this is the hall I like the ‘MOST’, with huge glass chandeliers hanged, pavilion with a stained glass ceiling, iron pillars. It’s all fantastically elaborate; a mixture of styles with peacocks everywhere, from a tiled mosaic on the floor to glass designs on the ceiling. When we walk through the palace, we’ll feel that we are there in ancient time. There are camel rides and elephant rides for hire on the palace grounds. As fascinating as the palace is, after 1 hr, I was almost glad to get back out. |
