I love taking sky photos – twilight time when the clouds get pink, orange colored hues from the sun makes a picture perfect shot! I landed at the Venugopalswamy Temple in Mysore around 6ish. Glad it wasn’t later cause I wouldn’t have gotten the full effect of this magnificent structure!

This temple has a very interesting story,
When the KRS dam got built outside Mysore this ancient temple was submerged in the dam waters. Just a few years back through some ingenious engineering the entire temple was lifted block by block and assembled out on the nearby land. It has then been cleaned and you can see the lovely architecture and carvings. The temple can’t be deified as its position and other things have changed, so there is no idol in the temple but still one can really get the feel of older times.

This is one of my fav temple structures – so spacious with lovely mandapas, the surrounding area is serene, green and quite un-populated with one small village, a lake outside surrounding the temple – its beautiful!
