A morning walk around Kukkarahalli Lake, followed by breakfast at a local eatery, is one of the most pleasant first dates in Mysuru. The neighbourhood is calm in the evening, and its parks and lakeside are popular with walkers, which makes them comfortable and public places to talk. In winter, the lake attracts migratory birds, which makes an early walk especially lovely for nature lovers. Evenings are calm and comfortable for a long conversation over coffee. Many of the eateries here open early, so a breakfast date before work or class is easy to arrange. The neighbourhood takes its name from Saraswati, the goddess of learning, fitting for an area that grew around the University of Mysore, founded in 1916 as one of the first universities in a princely state. The Kukkarahalli lake was built in the nineteenth century by the Mysore rulers to irrigate the land around it, and today it is a wetland home to cormorants, herons and painted storks. Many retired professors still live in the old houses here, and evening walks around the lake often turn into conversations about books and music.
