                                                 Mysore Zoo

                                                           

Third day we went to Mysore Zoo. I love zoo because we can see various Animals and Birds. It looks very beautiful. Here we should not use flash photography.  Here we have to give entry fees for adults 100rupees and for child (5-12 years of age) 50rupees below 5 years free. Here we can carry food in Mysore Zoo, but it should be in non-plastic wrappers/containers. As soon as I entered in Mysore zoo, the first thing I realized was that the entire region was incredibly clean. I absolutely loved the sight of beautiful giraffes eating leaves from the trees. The leopard cubs playing with their mom and dad was an incredible moment too. Then I proceeded to the area with monkeys. They were so playful and were jumping around within their cages. The hippopotamus enjoying an afternoon nap and elephants roaming around with their mates are just some of the views we captured in our hearts. The white peacock dancing with its wings was surely the highlight for me. The best part was that they had put up a board close to every cage with a list of some interesting facts about the animals and birds. I enjoyed lot in zoo by spending my time with animals and birds.

Visiting the Hamada Gopalaswamy Temple in Mysuru was an unforgettable spiritual journey. Nestled amidst the lush greenery of the hills, the temple offered a serene retreat from the hustle and bustle of city life. As I ascended the winding path to the temple, the tranquil surroundings filled me with a sense of peace and tranquility.

Melkote Temple

                           

Visiting either the Mysuru or Melkote temple was a peaceful and spiritual journey. The Mysuru temple was big and old, showing the city's history. The Melkote temple had stories from long ago and was pretty with its quiet setting. Both temples helped me feel calm and close to something greater. Prayers and rituals made the air feel special and respectful. Looking at the detailed carvings and hearing about the gods and goddesses was amazing. Whether in Mysuru or Melkote, both temple visits were meaningful and left me feeling peaceful and connected.
