H.H.Chamaraja Wodeyar was an exemplary ruler and built the foundations from which, H.H. Nalvadi Krishna Raja Waoeyar, the Raja Rishi, also raised by English Nannies and Tutors equipped with an able and honest Civil Service that he conjured from persons of impeccable family background as well as physical and academic credentials constructed a Mysore that rivaled European States such as Austria in culture, aesthetics, education,technology absorption and industrialization which he rightly proclaimed to be "Camelot". Mr. Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi described this Mysore as "Rama Rajya". When I was five, my Maternal Grandfather, Shri K.Srinivasan, (Mysore Civil Service) who was then the Chairman of the Indian Coffee Board (Having, by then, negotiated His Highness' privy purse with the Indian Union as the Revenue Commissioner of Mysore), took me to bear witness to what Mysore had been. His Highness, then the Raj Pramukh, had continued some of his royal Vijayanagara Dharma practices.On the lawns of what is now the Raj Bhavan, His Highness Jayamacharajendra Wodeyar had convened, as was his wont, the Sunday Aam Durbar, His ADC had pulled a post card out of the rotating barrel in which all the post cards of complaint written to his highness were placed each week. The Lucky Post Card, on this occasion, had been written by a lady from the Siddapura Slum who had complained that the Bus Conductor had signalled the Bus to start while she was still on the foot board, giving her a fright. Majestic in a traditional Red Arasoo Turban with Gold Buttas, trade mark dark glasses (so that the Raja Djrishti may not fall on anybody) and white kurta-pyjama (in deference to the new order), he coped his hands in salutation to the lady (whom the ADC had brought) and asked her for her forgiveness (Shamisbidi Thaye, thappu aiyuthu). She beamed with joy. Then, turning to the erring Bus Conductor he said, with perfect politeness and composure, "See what condition you have brought us to" (Noddu, namanna yavu paristhithige karukondu bandhidhiya). The conductor withered as if in a fussilade of shot. He turned around and returned to the Khas Durbar within the Building as the band resumed play. My Grand Father charged me to bear witness to what Mysore really had been in the deteriorating India that he foresaw.SuchindranathAiyerShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15174892566892609337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2022610709245432122.post-55311412818776451632013-06-26T04:19:31.407+05:302013-06-26T04:19:31.407+05:30wonderful pictures..Very old indeed.

I have visited Mysore plenty of times and every time I feel as if I am in Maharaja's time. People of Mysore still feels that they are being ruled by the Maharaja and would prefer to keep and maintain the old structures. Another one place where you will have the same feeling is Thiruvananthapuram in Kerala. These are the two provinces we have seen in our lives. Thanks fior those who preserved these photographs and made it available to us today.Melasevel grouphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09398494426017743301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2022610709245432122.post-66657707817239188522013-06-24T09:03:44.001+05:302013-06-24T09:03:44.001+05:30Great treasure of our History Great treasure of our History Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09256791116419474876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2022610709245432122.post-57095478235342481772013-06-19T00:07:00.201+05:302013-06-19T00:07:00.201+05:30Amazing, Impressive, wonderful, nice, Fantastic, m...Amazing, Impressive, wonderful, nice, Fantastic, marvelous,great,Fabulous,<br />pretty nice & pretty excellent rare collections, many thanks for sharing, may God bless u & your family.<br />s.dharmaraj<br />sandiago, usa.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18134709556285598210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2022610709245432122.post-51615872264995244722013-06-18T07:55:34.228+05:302013-06-18T07:55:34.228+05:30I am so glad to know the history and the backgroun...I am so glad to know the history and the background info about the landmarks of the city.
