Mysore Palace...is synonymous with everyone who stays in this city called Mysore. Coming from this town the Palace has been a integral part of my life. I am blessed to be born in this city and it I can't think of being in any other place...I love my city for all it's glory and I am very proud of my city...I recommend everyone to visit this city once and enjoy it's hospitality..
standing in the heart of the city
the majestic Palace pulls everyone to see it's splendor
with it's grandeur mesmerizing people
they all come from different parts of the world
only to stand in awe and bow to it's beauty
the king's golden throne
the enchanting hall where the king would hold his court
it's hidden charms call out
making all fall in love ...

Sounds like a beautiful city, Arathi. What a beautiful palace that must be. I can understand why all who visit would 'fall in love.'
ReplyDeleteYes it is Mary ...It just reaches you ..I alwa feel that it speaks through it's silence...smiles..
DeleteHow wonderful that this beauty and splendor can still be enjoyed and by many more people now!
ReplyDeleteYes Gabriella ..the government has taken lot of interest in maintaining this place ...people are very much attached to this palace ...
DeleteThis palace looks like something out of a fairy tale... what a wonderful place to be able to visit... and I can understand how it becomes a part of you.
ReplyDeleteI can vouch that if you meet anyone who is from Mysore will agree that it is integral part of all Mysoreans ...we all just love our city too much ...smiles...
DeleteHow lovely that you keyed into the beauty & enchantment of the palace; growing up near it, some people would just not regard it so highly, like those who live near the Taj Mahal; just fleece the tourists, make a buck, mantra for most.
ReplyDeleteGlen my city still retains its purity inspite of urbanisation..here people are so naive ..one can connect so much here ...it is full of life..the rich culture can be seen everywhere...
Deletewow...what an amazing place...is it lit up in that first pic? it practically glows....and wow what an interior...i wish we had such places....a richer history..being such a young nation we have much more modern architecture...
ReplyDeleteYes Brain the whole palace is illuminated ...actually the illumination for the entire palace was done I think in early 70's....Because when we were kids weekend outing was to go there and to see it lit...the whole crowd would exclaim and a collective sigh would come ..you know ..also this city was capital for a huge Kingdom where very poweful Kings ruled ..it is full of heritage and culture...and it kind of seeps inside people who are part of this city...you can google and see the history of mysore ..
ReplyDeleteSounds beautiful! And the pictures seem to indicate the same. Thanks for sharing this!
ReplyDeleteoh wow...what a palace... really magnificent... your love for your city shines through...
ReplyDeleteArathi, were I lucky enough to visit your beautiful city - and country - I know I would walk around, eyes agog, at the history, the splendor, the beauty, of it all. Sigh. Thanks for sharing the photo - what a magnificent palace.
ReplyDeleteI somehow have never been to Mysore! Twice got cancelled. Now I really want to go... Really lovely words you have used here Arathi!
ReplyDeleteFunny that the place is called Mysore, yet it's so beautiful. In English, Mysore sounds a lot like eye sore. Lovely poem.
