In\nthe month of February 2019, FSL-India\u2019s LTV Cultural Visit was held on 14th<\/sup>\nand 15th <\/sup>February 2019, with 1 volunteer, at Mysore. We took\nVictoria, our volunteer from Denmark to Mysore which is known as Karnataka\u2019s\nCultural City. We visited cultural and historical places which are located in\nand around Mysore. This month, the cultural visit was focused on an actual\ncultural experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the\nmorning, the FSL-India group started their travel from the Mysore accommodation\nto Amba Vilas Palace. Our volunteer very much enjoyed watching the architectural\nstyle of domes of the palace, commonly described as Indo-Saracenic, with\nblends of the Hindu, Mughal, Rajput and Gothic styles. It is a three-story\nstone structure, with marble domes, and has a 145-foot five-story tower. The\npalace is surrounded by a large garden. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After the visit to the\npalace, we had a South Indian traditional lunch on a banana leaf. After lunch, we\nvisited Devaraja Market which is a popular tourist destination of Mysore\nbecause of the strong local flavor of the shopping experience there. The city\nauthorities have built a spacious plaza in front of the market, which becomes\nquite crowded in the evenings. It is huge market for the wholesaler and our volunteer\nbought some fancy outfits from the boutique and enjoyed a lot to see all kinds\nof fruits, flowers, groceries and vegetables available at one place. The locals\nrefer to this market as the Open Super Market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The second day was very devotional because we visited Chamundi temple at Chamundi hill. Spent 1 hour to reach the main shrine of the temple and our volunteer liked the customs followed near Goddess Chamundi at the main shrine. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Afterwards, we visited Nandi Temple (Big Bull), walked some steps down – nearly 1.5 Km  and on the way, saw some pilgrims following the tradition of applying tilak all over the steps and walking towards the temple, and finally visited Mysore Mall. Our volunteer bought some traditional clothes at Mysore Mall. Totally, it was a nice sightseeing trip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Victoria says:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I really enjoyed the cultural day. The Open Market is very unique and I had a nice time over there. It is nice to see the old heritage city and nice palace. The food was so amazing and I really like non-vegetarian food. Totally loved the 2-day visit at Mysore.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
