Mysore

The charming city of Mysore is one of Southern India’s most popular destinations, boasting an array of historic temples, colourful markets as well as a pleasant climate. Often referred to as the city of palaces, Mysore’s crowning glory is the Maharaja’s Palace, an extravagant structure best viewed on Sunday when it is illuminated by nearly 100,000 bulbs, creating a magical spectacle.

I was stunned to see the eight bronze tigers, commissioned from a sculptor from the Royal Academy of Arts in London that guard each entrance to the Mysore palace.
