Situated
on the banks of the Kaveri, Ranganathittu Bird Sanctuary is located
near Mysore in Karnataka. The six isles on the river are also part
of the sanctuary. The sanctuary was declared a bird sanctuary in
1940, when the noted ornithologist Dr Salim Ali while surveying the
birds of the area put emphasis on declaring Ranganathittu a bird
sanctuary. Since then, the sanctuary has become a paradise for bird
watchers.
Every year a number of bird lovers throng the sanctuary to see the
avian in-habitants of the sanctuary. The sanctuary is quite popular
both among Indian and foreign tourists. Apart from home to native
avian habitants, the sanctuary each year attracts a large number of
migratory birds. Wildlife experts believe that migratory birds come
to this sanctuary as far as from Siberia, Australia and even North
America.

Many tales of valour and glory are tucked into the folds of the
unassuming island town of Srirangapatna, former capital of one
of the bravest sons of Karnataka. Maybe it's due to the guile of
the beautiful Cauvery River that you tend to lap up every
anecdote the guide narrates.
You tend to believe that the legendary sword of Tipu Sultan,
housed within the State treasury, is sacred and no one dare
touch it. And, if stones could speak, probably every tiny pebble
on the banks of the Cauvery would make the English go red with
reminiscences of Tipu's conquest over the 'Unconquerable
Empire'. The lanes between the turfed outline of the
Srirangapatna Fort bear touching memorials to the life of this
unique king.
