Mysore Palace is not as old as one thinks, the stories of the family that ruled the kingdom in years long ago are etched throughout the palace. Beautiful architecture and fabulous paintings tell a tale of years gone by when opulence and obedience were second only to the many gods worshipped.

Going early in the morning at opening time was a blessing, the crowds are small and you can actually hear your audio device. By the time we left it was getting crazy busy, school trips and coach parties, well they might have just been families on a day outing.
