The Mysore Palace is usually only lit up on Sunday evenings. However, during the 10-day festival of Dasara (Vijayadashami), they light it up every night. This was taken on the penultimate day of festivities.

DAILY PHOTO: Dasara Flower Show Gazebo
I just got back from attending Dasara (a.k.a. Dussehra or Vijayadashami) festivities in Mysore. Dasara celebrates Rama’s victory over Ravana, as well as Durga’s defeat of Mahishasur. There was a flower show about a block from the palace, and this gazebo was the centerpiece. The bottom pick was part of the floor of the gazebo.

Among the unexpected sights of Bangkok is this Monitor Lizard of about 4 foot long from the tips of its forked-tongue to the tip of its tail. It was right in the center of Saranrom Park which is across the street from the Grand Palace and Wat Pho in Bangkok’s old town.
