Mysore: Dariya Daulat Bagh

First stop on our day in Mysore (a city south west of Bangalore, about a 3.5 hour drive) was a summer palace called Dariya Daulat Bagh. Our driver told us to only spend 20 minutes there as there was lots to see that day. That wasn't a problem, it was lame, just an empty palace with some pics on the wall. The coolest part was the expansive palace grounds, all well maintained and landscape through the several hundred rupee entrance fee for foreigners.
