Mysore/Mysuru: At the junction of Shivaji Road, N.R. Mohalla and Mysuru-Bengaluru Main Road, there is a beautiful fountain of nearly a century old. The artistically designed fountain is one of the oldest fountains in Mysuru and is of historic importance too. It is named the ‘Elgin Fountain’.
Since about a month, a shrub (plant) is seen growing luxuriously at its foot (see picture) which, if allowed to grow, may damage and even destroy the very foundation of that fountain.
