Child labor in the flower market….
The main attraction in Mysore for us was the palace and the market. The last time that Amy and I went to Mysore, we didn’t get a chance to visit the palace, and from what everyone had told us, it was something that we had to see at some point. Overall, palaces aren’t totally my thing, but it is always interesting to see how people lived at a certain period in time. The residence was also pretty interesting, especially the displays of what the maharaja collected….
Can someone explain the yellow? One of the funniest things was when I was on my way to the market (I went separately from everyone else…). There were two cows in the vegetable section creating a bit of mischief by going around and stealing bunches of vegetables before galloping through the parking lot…. Fun times….
I was more interested in the painted cows. I’m guessing it was something for Pongal…. For some reason, the white parts of almost all the cows here were painted a bright yellow. For the cows that were mostly white, that obviously looked quite strange….
We had dinner in a palace converted to a hotel that night, and went back to our hotel to make sure we had everything packed for our early morning drive to Bangalore from where we would be flying to Mumbai.
Of course, I took some photos (but not nearly as much as I should have…).
