Sanjeevini Park — Attraction in Karnataka

The Happy Man Park is a favorite picnic spot in Mysore found at about 3km from Mysore Railway station near Kamakshi Hospital. It is named after the prominent statue of Happy Man with a big belly. The highlight of this park is the gigantic statue of Happy Man, resembling Laughing Buddha. The park is not of vast area but mini zoo. We find beautiful small stream bedecked with wooden bridge attracting children as children's play area is well arranged. I could see many ducks and hens roaming around freely in the park. The children are excited to play with them. Before giving other attractions let me brief you about the beautiful city Mysore. Mysore is the cultural capital of erstwhile Mysore state and capital of Wadeyar dynasty from 1399 until 1947, for about six centuries. Though the Kingdom of Mysore was ruled by Wadeyars, but ruled by Hyder Ali and his son Tippu Sultan during late 18th century. Mysore city is situated at the base of beautiful Chamundi Hills and historical city in state of Karnataka in India. It is the second biggest city in Karnataka and one of the cleanest cities in India. There are umpteen numbers of tourist attractions to be visited and many are ‘must visit’ dots. They include Mysore Palace, Brindavan Gardens, Chamundi Hills, Jagmohan Palace Art Gallery, Lalitmahal Palace, Parks, Gardens, Datta Peeta, Mysore Zoo, Karanji Lake, Jayalakshmivilas mansion and ‘Happy Man Park’. Many popular restaurants and varieties of lodges and star hotels cater to the needs of thousands of tourist landing here every day. Mysore is not only famous for its palaces but also for the celebrations that take place during annual Dasara festival. The city receives large number of tourists from all corners of the world. Name of Mysore is carried on for its style of painting, dishes called ‘Mysorepak, masaladosa’ etc. Mysorepeta, the traditional silk turban, and Mysore silk saree are specially noted decorative dignified dress for men and women. It is also well known for sandalwood and carved wood artifacts made in rosewood, sandalwood and teak. Originally Mysore was named after its demon king Mahishasura, as Mahisuru, who was a mythological demon and ruled this area. He had the boon from Lord Brahma to assume forms of both human and buffalo at his will. He was killed by Goddess Chamundeswari. The temple of Chamundeswari is on the top of Chamundi Hills. We can see the attractive statue of Mahishasura holding snake in his hand near the temple. When you are at the statue don’t forget to take a selfi, as it is worth preserving. In the later centuries on invasion and domination of British the name Mahisuru came to be uttered in peculiar accent in English in several ways and finally found its rhythmic tune as Mysore. Thus the name Mysore is an anglicised version of Mahisūru that stood to mean as abode of Mahishasura. Happyman Park is open in the morning again between 4:30 pm and 9:00 pm. We can enjoy nice slow music played in small loudspeakers that would mesmerize the visitors. Regular walkers and joggers would enjoy the cool breeze. It is an ideal picnic spot. Most of the residential areas in Mysore have their own small parks. There are about 180 parks and playgrounds in Mysore city. Among them ‘Sanjeevini park’ was neglected one as I had seen. It gained popularity only after the entry of ‘Laughing Buddha’ or ‘Happyman’ with gigantic body in 2006 and recognised as Happy Man Park. You can reach Mysore by Rail, Road and/or Air.

Its well maintained park😍🤩🤩one of the best family park in mysuru it's cleanliness is top-notch, plants shaping is done in regular intervals along with cleaning.why I am stressing on cleaning is bcz of highly traffic area with residents & hospital people usually park are given for walking & relaxing purpose but nowadays it's been spoiled drunken people so keeping in that it's well maintained, good thing is there is small farm in side where rabbit duck ,birds kept, if u go with children there is lot of playing equipment which make more reasons to spend time, beside park there is a hospital which make more useful for outers to take rest , more over making a park beside hospital is great idea as it helps in more ways, during holidays it's gets too busy as bcz of more residents comes,, but in normal days busy only at morning & evening , there are lot of selfie spot...
