On 21st Oct'23 one of my major wishes got ticked, a visit to the Mysore Palace in my Ex-Mysore Daimler DB18. We had the added bonus of the another Ex-Mysore Car, Daimler DE27 as another participant. This was the KVCCC-Advaith Mysore Dusserha Rally.

The magnificent Daimler DE27, owned by Mr. Sulaiman Jamal looks majestic in front of the Palace


My Daimler DB18 making an entry into the palace after 66 years!. She was sold by Maharaja Jayachamaraja Wodeyar to his classmate Shri K N Srinivasan in 1957


The setting sun makes a halo around the Palace and make one wonder if there was indeed devine blessings for this visit!


I proudly stand with my car infront of the magnificint Mysore Palace


MYB 89 sporting MYSORE 89 plates to signify the connection with the Palace


Feeling blessed


At Dusk, before the spectacular illumination of the Palace


The illumination was just Wow


What a beauty


The bright palace lights made photography a tad difficult


The brightly illuminated Palace makes a wonderful reflection on rear of the car


Just love this effect


What a bonus!


We make a spectacular exit under the lights, entertaining the large crowds on the way out


This a dream come true in many ways

Cheers

Congratulations Dear KPS.

This time Mysuru Dasara was grand, I thoroughly enjoyed the festivities , the lighting was beautiful and I could see the ocean of people from neighboring towns and villages arriving to Mysuru and enjoying all sorts of activities from circus to amusement parks to the elaborate lighting arrangements on every road & junction.

A nice image of WCB40 Silver Wraith when in Bharatpur


The 'Ivory Gate' at Mysore, incorrectly dated to 1920. We can see the Mysore DiLambda which dates to around 1930. Other car maybe a 1932 Ford?
