Gopalaswamy's temple.

We woke up at around 4:30am and started off to Gopalaswamy Betta from our hotel room in Mysore. I had heard Shyam's passionate description of how enchanting the place can be in early mornings - of the mist covered hills, of the overwhelming serenity. I had been there before, but not in an early morning.



We reached the forest department check post around 6am, to find that entry is permitted only after 7am. But the guard at the check post was rather sympathetic, and a little persuasion and Dale Carnegie bag of tricks saw us through.
