Visited Jog Falls on Aug 5 by travelling in this train from end to end. Below are my observations
1. Train was already shunted on PF6.
2. Vishwamanava was already standing on PF3. Vishwamana rake was longer and had D5 while my train was short at 16 coaches and no D5. The GS coaches start after D4.
3. My first disappointment was seat...

numbering of CC coach doesn`t match with that in IRCTC. I booked 2 separate tickets so that both me and my wife were allotted window seats. However those were Middle and Aisle seats. Looks like aisle seats are the ones with windows.
4. Occupancy at 70% from MYS to SMET. After that it is 10%.
5. At MYS PF#6, one one coffee vendor was there.
6. At Krishnarajanagara and Hole Narsipur, train stopped for 30-45 seconds only compared to 1-2 mins.
7. No Railneer. Only Bailey water bottle available priced at 15 rupees and has good quality bottle compared to slim railneer.
8. Churmuri, some buns, maddur vada available at small stations.
9. At Hassan, we could get 2 idli, 1 vada with chutney at 50 rupees. No dose available.
10. At Arsikere, my train arrived after chalukya and departed before it. Not much occupancy obsered in sleeper coaches.
11. Kadur and Birur are deserted junctions with no trains, no people, no facilities, not even stray dogs or cows.
12. Many people lie down on 3 seats in CC coaches as everyone was sleepy.
13. TTE deboarded at SMET. So anyone can travel in CC coach in that leg.
14. SMET-TLGP is the best part of journey. It is a single line with no electrification. One can spot peacocks flying on either side, heavy dense trees on both sides. Kind of like images from Nilambur Road from Kerala.
15. I found GS seats to be best. If the rush is less, one can easily lie back entirely. In D1-D4, people were asleep with only half part of body supported by seat.
16. One cannot transverse from CC, D coaches to GS coaches as they have no vestibules.
17. Liked the environment of Sagara and Talguppa. Not much commercialization, felt nice and quiet with just 1 food stall with biscuits.
18. Will add them later as soon as I remember anything important.

Yo, I went to Jog Falls on Aug 5, chillin' on this train from start to finish. Here's what I noticed:
1. Train was already parked at Platform 6 (PF6).
2. Vishwamanava was already standin' at Platform 3 (PF3). Vishwamana train was longer, had a D5 carriage, while my ride was short with only 16 coaches and no D5. The GS coaches start after D4.
3. First letdown was that the seat numbers in the CC coach didn't match the ones on IRCTC. I booked 2 separate tickets so that me and my wife could get window seats. Turns out, we got stuck with middle and aisle seats. Seems like the aisle seats are the ones with windows.
4. Occupancy was around 70% from MYS to SMET, but after that, it dropped to 10%.
5. At MYS PF#6, there was only one coffee vendor.
6. At Krishnarajanagara and Hole Narsipur, the train only stopped for 30-45 seconds compared to 1-2 minutes.
7. No Railneer, only Bailey water bottles available for 15 rupees. The quality of the bottle was better than the slim railneer.
8. Small stations had churmuri, buns, and maddur vada available.
9. At Hassan, we could get 2 idli, 1 vada with chutney for 50 rupees. No dosa though.
10. At Arsikere, my train arrived after chalukya and left before it. The sleeper coaches weren't very crowded.
11. Kadur and Birur were deserted junctions with no trains, no people, no facilities, not even stray dogs or cows.
12. Lots of people were spread out on 3 seats in the CC coaches, snoozin' away.
13. The TTE got off at SMET, so anyone could travel in the CC coach after that.
14. The journey from SMET to TLGP was the best part. It's a single line with no electricity. You can spot peacocks flyin' on both sides, dense trees everywhere. Kinda like those pics from Nilambur Road in Kerala.
15. I found the seats in GS to be the best. If it's not too crowded, you can easily lie down completely. In D1-D4, people were knocked out, with only half their body supported by the seat.
16. You can't move from the CC or D coaches to the GS coaches 'cause there ain't no vestibules.
17. I liked the vibe in Sagara and Talguppa. Not too commercialized, felt peaceful with just one food stall sellin' biscuits.
18. I'll add more stuff later if I remember anything important.

Aug 5 ko Jog Falls gaya tha. Poora safar train mein tha. Yahaan hai meri observations
1. Train tha PF6 pe.
2. Vishwamanava tha PF3 pe. Vishwamanava waala train D5 ke saath lamba tha, lekin mera chhota tha, bas 16 coach ka. GS coaches D4 ke baad shuru hote hain.
3. CC coach ki seat numbering IRCTC ke saath match nahi kar rahi thi. Mainay 2 alag tickets book kiye the taki mujhe aur meri biwi ko window seats mil sake, parantu middle aur aisle seats mili. Lagta hai aisle seats hi window waale hote hain.
4. MYS se SMET tak 70% occupancy thi. Baad me sirf 10%.
5. MYS PF#6 pe sirf ek coffee vendor tha.
6. Krishnarajanagara aur Hole Narsipur me, train sirf 30-45 seconds ke liye ruki compared to 1-2 minutes.
7. Railneer nahi tha. Sirf Bailey water bottle thi, jiska price 15 rupees tha aur quality kaafi acchi thi slim railneer ke comparison me.
8. Churmuri, kuch buns, maddur vada chote stations pe available the.
9. Hassan me, 50 rupees mein 2 idli, 1 vada mil raha tha chutney ke saath. Dosa nahi tha.
10. Arsikere me, meri train chalukya ke baad aayi thi aur usse pehle hi chali gayi thi. Sleeper coaches me bohot kam log the.
11. Kadur aur Birur khaali junctions the, koi train nahi, koi log nahi, koi suvidhayen nahi, na hi idhar udhar ke kutte ya gaaye.
12. Bahut log 3 seats pe so rahe the CC coaches me kyunki sabhi thode sleepy the.
13. TTE SMET pe utar gaya. To ab koi bhi CC coach me safar kar sakta hai.
14. SMET-TLGP journey ka best part tha. Yeh single line thi, koi electrification nahi thi. Har taraf peacock udte hue dikh rahe the, ghanepan waale ped the. Kerala ke Nilambur Road ki tarah lag raha tha.
15. Mujhe lagaa GS seats sabse best the. Agar bheed kam ho, to poora aaram se let sakte hain. D1-D4 me log adhe sharir ke saath hi so rahe the.
16. CC, D coaches se GS coaches me nahi ja sakte kyunki vestibules nahi hain.
17. Sagara aur Talguppa ke mahaul ko pasand aaya. Yahaan jyada commercialization nahi tha, sukoon tha. Sirf ek food stall tha biscuits ke saath.
18. Baad me kuch aur important yaad aayega to add kar dunga.
1. Train tha PF6 pe.
2. Vishwamanava tha PF3 pe. Vishwamanava waala train D5 ke saath lamba tha, lekin mera chhota tha, bas 16 coach ka. GS coaches D4 ke baad shuru hote hain.

A very well maintained heritage building - museum, whose restoration and collection of items were all done by Karnataka Govt. It cost them 2.4 crore to buy and some 35 lakhs to restore it.
There are 2 floors to view. Ground and first floor. Some 6 rooms have his personal belongings, pics and awards. The best room is in first floor where he just sat and contemplated and wrote. That room has a 180 degree view.
