The delegates were elated to see the beauty of the Mysore Palace and wrote the following in the Visitors Book:

“It has been an excellent opportunity for me to visit the Palace along with members of the G-20 delegates, who assembled at the city of Bengaluru for a sideline event on one health organised by Government of  India. The visit gave an opportunity to show India’s heritage and capabilities possessed over the centuries to the delegates who were from G-20 countries.The management of the Palace deserves all thanks and appreciation for taking   care of the delegates and explaining about the Palace. The Deputy Director of the Palace Board Mr. Subramanya and his team need to be applauded for wonderful management of the Palace and keep the Palace in utmost care and cleanliness. I as the Chair of the G-20 sideline event sincerely thank for all co-operation and support to the delegates.” — Dr. J.K. Jena,
