Musical Fountain Krishna Raja Sagara KRS Dam, Mysore
Krishna Raja Sagara (KRS) Dam is another hotspot to visit if you are in Mysore as a tourist. Brindavan Gardens here is done up beautifully and what adds to the charm are the numerous fountains. A planned three terraced garden, it was made in 1932. It has been a location for movie shoots since then.
We were there late evening when the sun had set and darkness was sinking in. Brindavan Gardens is well lit up during the twilight hour. But I would suggest to make a visit during day too to see the entire layout of the garden. Or come slightly early in the evening and hang on till the musical fountain show. Works of topiary here are best appreciated in broad daylight.
Musical Fountain KRS Dam in Mysore
The major attraction of KRS dam in the evenings is the musical fountain display. The event of dancing fountains of water lasts for one hour from 7PM to 8PM. There is a small gallery in the form of steps; people usually rush to occupy the seats here. Since the show is free the seats are first come first occupied.
There are 4 shows of 10mins duration and a 5mins break after that. So after the first round i.e. after 7.10 the crowd thins out. The ones who were sitting in the floor now clamor for the seats in the steps. Each session ends with the music of patriotic song ‘Saare jahaan se achha…’
