(MENAFN- AsiaNet News) The picturesque town of Madikeri in Karnataka, often dubbed the "Scotland of India," is undergoing a delightful transformation ahead of the monsoon season. The once sun-drenched landscape, parched by eight to nine months of dry weather, is now enveloped in pre-monsoon showers, casting a spell of ethereal beauty.
In the early hours of the morning and as dusk settles, a mystical procession of fog gracefully winds through the streets of Madikeri, nestled amidst rolling hills. The recent fortnight of rains has not only cooled the town but also veiled it in a shroud of mist, reminiscent of poetic descriptions likening it to Switzerland or Kashmir.
