Educational Tour
The second day of the tour was more exciting than the first one since the first one went off fast because of the travelling.
At 8am in the morning, the students had their breakfast and left for sight seeing to Chamundi Hills in Mysore. Atop of the hill, they saw the famous Sri Chamundeswari Temple. ‘Chamundi’ or ‘Durga’ is the fierce form of ‘Shakti’. She is the slayer of demons, ‘Chanda’ and ‘Munda’ and also ‘Mahishasura’, the buffalow-headed monster.
