Mysore/Mysuru: The deadly Coronavirus, which has brought the whole world to a somewhat grinding halt, has affected people from all strata of society, be it the rich or the poor. Nowadays, the new term for this virus disease is "Passport holders’ disease" since more cases are reported among those with a history of recent flight travel.
Tongas, the horse-ridden chariots or carts, have been an iconic part of Mysuru’s royal heritage right from the time of the erstwhile rulers of Mysuru, the Wadiyars. In the early years of the princely rule in the State, the Tongas were the most preferred mode of travel for the nobles and the civilians alike.
