                                 We planned for Bangalore Trip during Muhurram Weekend.We left chennia by Bangalore Mail.This train started at 11:15 PM.That was quite late.We managed to catch some sleep admidst cold.We got down at Bangalore Cant Station.My Brother-in law Dinesh came to pick us.

                                 There house was at Ullsoor.We reached home had a small sleep.We got up and visited Kempfort Shiva temple first.It was beautiful and a commercial temple.We took snaps and then left to ISKCON (The International Society for Krishna Consciousness).There were long queues and special darshans in most of the temples due to Vaigunda Ekadasi.

                                The temple was nicely built on hill top.The management was nice keeping the place clean.Krishna,Radha and Balrama idols were there.The place was more like a mall.All sorts of foods were available.From Dokla to Rasagulla, Gobi Manchurian to Puliogare.We tasted few items and moved to shopping area.

                               Idols,Photo Frames are common in temples.Here they were selling bags,dolls and what not…..They were also screening Krishna animation movies in an attempt to make Krishna a global ICON.We left to Cubbon Park and Vidhan Soudha.Vidhan Soudha was admist dust due to namma Metro Construction.

                               Cubbon Park was huge.We were exhausted and hardly covered the park.We left to Commercial Street near Shivaji Nagar.It was area filled with shops.They got us clothes as a token of love.So kind enough..We had food and left to home.
