If streetlights at Mumbai Marine Drive resembles a string of imaginary pearls in a necklace forming a Queen's Necklace, the Kukkarahalli Lake in Mysuru is an exquisite, shiny and giant Green Emerald for Mysureans — priceless. Located amidst Green surroundings of Manasagangothri, CFTRI and Kalamandira, the Greenery of Kukkarahalli Lake — locals call it Kukknalli Kere — is Greener than any other Green surroundings because of its rich biodiversity that supports a large population of flora and fauna. Though reams of paper have been used to write about the iconic Lake, this Weekend Star Supplement takes a fresh look at the Lake that is a perfect escape route from the busy city life and provides an inner sense of peace, bringing one closer to nature and closer to LIFE in its various forms.
