Heavy detailing on that rock to make it look like Nandi was totally awesome. Later on that day we visited the Mysore Palace which was outrageously big and luxurious. It showed us what kind of life does a king live. It had various artifacts taken from various countries which dated long back. The paintings were bliss on the palace walls. Next stop was to the summer palace of Tipu Sultan where his various artifacts and memorabilia were kept. The exhibition was quite informative. Then we headed for the palace of Tipu Sultan which was sadly destroyed by the British people.

Our next destination was to a 1200 years old temple, where the statues of the gods and goddesses…
