Mysore - India 2006

Mysore is a relatively quiet town for India. I spent a couple of days there, visiting the Maharaja Palace, Chamundi Hill and the lively Sri Chamundeswari Temple, as well as the Devaraja fruit and vegetable market, a delight for photographers.
I also visited the Hoysala temples at Belur and Halebid and the Jain pilgrimage center of Sravanabelagola.
