I recently had the honour of visiting this place and let me tell you the experience was so unreal. On the first glance at this posh Yadavgiri bungalow with a sprawling garden and backyard area, a spacious balcony in the duplex bungalow overlooking the quiet road with very few vehicles every few minutes, it might be difficult for an average RK Narayan fan to believe that this might be a place where some very brilliant and beautiful stories like Malgudi might have taken place. Growing up we used to watch Malgudi days and somewhere down the line it started to feel like I have visited and known Malgudi for so long, met Swami and his friends. Honestly, It was quite a shocker for me when I came to know Malgudi is not a real place, but a very beautiful and extremely detailed fragment of the RK sir's beautiful mind. The details with which RK sir described the place in his books, no one could believe these are just someone's thoughts. This place however gave me an insight to RK sir's life in a way I never knew before, knowing about his life in detail, somehow made me a bigger fan of him. Watching his multiple accolades at the same place as his clothes which seemed so simple, his glasses and family pictures and every direction you see, you know his humility, his love for writing and the excellence in his craft is the reason he was who he is. It's so heartwarming to see the local government/authorities taking such good care of the place and doing the due diligence. Whether you are an RK fan or not, do visit this place because the man is well worth knowing this would be one of the top highlights for your mysore trip! Ps: there are no paid tickets for this place. Just a guest register where entry needs to be maintained.
I visited the house on a Saturday morning. Maintained by the mysuru corporation , the care taker for the day was kanthamma who has been here for the last 6 months. Very clean and nicely maintained. You can spend and finish in 15 minutes or slowly absorb the writer world from various lenses for 2+ hours. It's not a tick mark place ..spend time thinking and immersing in the life of someone who took an offbeat career , had to market himself , connected to the soil in a contemporary way ... Go slowly around , a reflection of the yesteryear architecture will also emerge. Regards Vikram sridhar
A must visit place if you loved his work. Swami was the series from my childhood, and seeing the person behind the warm story is a memorable experience. Sir, R.K. Narayan had a tragic life, lost his wife to Typhoid when their child was an year old. How he bagged several honorary doctorates from universities all over the world. P.S: It's a beautiful old bungalow which literally takes you through their life in that house...
Given the property is in a prime location the palce and usage of it seems mediocre. With no disrespect to the writer or the govt or organisation which is managing this house turned museum, I would say this could have been turned in to some audi or a theatre workshop or some add on instead of a few paint drops on blank canvas. Foot fall is very limited as only few people are aware and there isn't much to be excited off, just a leisure scroll of 10-15 minutes is enough to walk by.
One of the must and most iconic places to visit in Mysore. Peaceful and serene place where the Writer of Malgudi days R.K. Narayan used to stay. No entry fee is needed but requesting goers to give some money to the caretakers.
Such a joy to be in the house of one of India's fav author. We have all grown up on Malgudi Days and shared our emotions with Swami. The sheer joy of seeing where he lived and getting to know about him through others is unparalleled. Must visit when in Mysuru.
Writer RK Narayan's house is located in a quiet residential pocket in Mysore. The house serves as a literary shrine to the creator of Malgudi with bits of his life stories, photographs and accolades on display.
A must visit for literature lovers. For all those who love Indian authors and their writings this place is holy grail. The house is well preserved and gives a glimpse of the writer's life.
