Last Tuesday is it was a national holiday as it was Mahatma Gandhi’s birthday. We decided to explore more around Mysore.
As we drove to the Brindavan gardens (19km NW from Mysore), we saw the Krishna Raja Sagar dam:

Other side of the dam, the water
pouring down the Kaveri River
We then arrived at the Brindavan gardens. It was a nice garden with a mansion that was left by the British which is now a hotel.

The dining hall
The chandelier in the dining hall. It’s got that
beautiful 20th Century touch to it.
There was a lightshow in the evening, but we didn’t stay that long. On the way back it rained and there were hundreds of moths in the air which we drove into, mainly near the dam. There were about five on me once back at the campus. It was okay though, they were harmless.
