My first trip to Vaishnodevi was unimpressive. Climbing was hard, and it only served to highlight how badly out of shape I was, while my in-laws managed to cope so much better. Further, I hadn’t quite realized that the cave experience wouldn’t be the same as I had imagined, since the original cave was only opened at certain times a year, and that we only entered a newly created tunnel, one far easier to access, and hence more manageable with the crowds that thronged the mountain shrine. The resulting experience at the shrine, for barely a fraction of a second, hardly compared to what I had expected / imagined / heard about. So, for me, Vaishnodevi was like any other temple, nothing to write home about, something that was reflected (though not explicitly mentioned) in the blog post I wrote then.
Kukkarahalli Kere, or Lake is located in the heart of Mysore, in the Mysore University Campus. This was our favourite spot to relax almost every evening that we spent in the city... and you can see why!
The Lake, spreading over about 150 acres, was created during the reign of Mummadi Krishnaraja Wodeyar (1794-1868) in 1864. While views like these were surely a great draw, what really attracted us to the lake were the many species of birds, even in peak summer! However, more of them later, in a separate post. For now, just feast your eyes on the view.........
