The river Cauvery holds the ancient island of Srirangapatna close within her arms. Its secrets are safe with her. And while the island gets its name from the reclining form of Lord Vishnu, and is an important sacred destination for Vaishnavites, I go to Srirangapatna for someone whose life choices and dilemmas I can relate to.  Someone who also grappled with the same questions of life's meaning centuries ago. Someone who had just as many layers.  Someone who constantly hovered between victory and defeat. And though Srirangapatna contiues to whisper his name, the enigmatic Tipu Sultan remains a mystery to both friend and foe. (Extended Album)
