<p>Driving all the way to Brindavan Gardens to witness the musical fountain is now passe.<br /><br /></p>.<p>The people of the City and the tourists from all over the world will shortly be treated to a musical journey in the form of dancing, twirling waters, right in the heart of the town. <br /><br />Modelled on the lines of musical fountain at KRS, the newly installed modern musical fountain at Kuppanna Park will be another feather in the cap of the heritage city. It is a visual delight to see the fountain dancing to the tunes of Kannada, English, Hindi and patriotic songs. <br /><br />Out of the Rs 100 crore chief minister’s grant to the Mysore City Corporation that was given last year, the musical fountain is set up at a cost of Rs 55 lakh. The architect of this fountain is Bangalore’s BNA Technology Consulting Limited’s planning director M J Sridhar.<br /><br />The musical fountain is three times bigger than the one at KRS and it is spread over 12.6 metres. On the whole it covers an area of 16.8 metres. The fountain starts attracting the people from 6 pm with light music. As the clock strikes 7, the musical fountain starts dancing to the tunes of Kannada and Hindi music. To control the music, colour of the water and the height of the water, a software called ‘Infotainment,’ has been used. 90 kilo watt power has been installed. Two pumpsets of three HP and one pumpset of five HP has been set up. <br /><br />‘Jai Bharatha Jananiya Tanujaathe...,’ ‘Uluva yogiaya nodalli...,’ ‘Kadu kudure odi banditha...,’ ‘Vishwavinuthana Vidyachetana...,’ ‘My Name is Sheela, Sheela ki jawani...,’ ‘Sare Jahan se Achcha Hindustan hamara...,’ and the latest sensation ‘Pyarge Aagbitaithe...,’ are some of the tunes which will make the visitors tap their feet to the beats. <br /><br />The musical fountain is three times bigger than the one at KRS and the one at Madikeri’s Raja Seat. The work was completed on September 27, 2011 itself. However, due to various reasons it was not inaugurated. <br /><br />The power saving is considerable as high technology has been adapted. The songs played will attract all age groups. It is also decided that in the coming days a few more English and Hindi songs will be incorporated. “The tourists who visit Mysore in the future can visit Kuppanna Park and enjoy the musical fountain,” Sridhar told Deccan Herald.<br /><br />Chief Minister D V Sadananda Gowda will switch on the musical fountain on May 4. “The entrance fee is deliberately kept very low. It will be just Rs 10 or Rs 15. This fee is inevitable as it will help the corporation to bear the power bill, the maintenance of the musical fountain and the garden,’ said Mysore City Corporation Commissioner K S Raykar. </p>
