My Big, Fat Indian Wedding and Mysore Palace


Praba's Sister's Wedding


Praba, who works with me at PHRI, invited everyone to her sister's wedding. Ironically enough, this is the first wedding that I have been old enough to remember! To sum it up would be to say it was fun, crowded, and had great food.





Here is a shot of the crew at PHRI. Can you pick out Naomi?





Mysore Palace

Every Sunday evening, the Mysore Palace is illuminated with 'no less than 1000 bulbs'. This palace was built by the Wodeyars, and one of them still lives here!


Interesting to note that the rest of the city has rather unreliable electricity, but this event happens like clockwork.



Here is a light and dark picture from one of the corners.




I think this is the spot to be on a Sunday evening. Families and couples came in numbers, and even brought dinner to eat while sitting on the lawn. Gave off a feeling of a 'county fair'.



The Palace is made through a mixture of Hindu and Muslim architectures. The temple was not very big, but impressive when lit up.
