Trip to Mysore - Brindavan Gardens, KRS DAM (Krishna Raja Sahar Dam)


Sunday Nov 12 2006- 12:45 P.M to 1:20 P.M Travel to Mysore - 1:20 P.M to 3:00 P.M Graha Pravesam

Sunday Nov 12 2006- 4:40 P.M Brindavan Gardens:
After a tough journey along the mysore road towards Krishna Raja Sagar DAM, we reached the Brindavan Gardens. A spectacular garden constructed by Vishvesharaya during early 20th century.
Tall Man @ Brindavan Gardens:
We gathered as a group and took a snap with a tall man standing at entrance. He charges per click 10 rupees. U see he can stretch his hands beyond boundaries. The Brindavan Gardens was awesome with various types of trees. The intresting thing is, there is a step down fountain which is constructed in descending order. By natural gravitational force water flows from top to bottom. A must to see place.
Krishna Raja Sagar DAM Cauvery River:

The Krishna Raja Sagar Dam was ultimate bench mark for team effort and engineering of our indians. The dam is 120 feet tall with a massive outstrech of close to 1/2 a kilometer wide. Behind it lies the great River Cauvery. Which appears like Sea. U see me, Thiru and couple of his friends over here.

As a age old custom, I requested thiru's friend Ameen to shoot a snap of me. Me alone. With Cauvery as Backdrop. It was intresting to note that, due to security reasons, only 10 feet wide gap is allowed as visitors area in DAM. Rest is locked up.

The night we had a light fountain show @ brindavan gardens and packed off our luggages back to home. After some break for dinner (myself and thiru had some bhel poori and corn) and buttermilk, we reached Bangalore @ late night 1:00 A.M doing the cab service for all the folks in the van.
