occasion of Bengali New Year.

All my Flickr friends perhaps know these flowers. I do not know
whether the plant is Bengal's own but I know that to every Bengali in
West Bengal and Bangladesh is a favourite.

Mysore Palace, Mysore, India

Mysore is a city of palaces, but the most magnificent of them all is
the Mysore Palace sometimes known as the Main Palace as well. One of
the most unforgettable images of the city is the image of the
illuminated Mysore Palace against the dark black sky. It takes ninety
seven thousand light bulbs to produce this enchanting image of the
Palace. The Palace is situated in the middle of the city and is a
reminder of the grandeur of a bygone era and is today an invaluable
national treasure.
