Rings in the sky, anyone know why?

When visiting Mysore, India I wanted to see the famous hotel there, called the Lalitha Mahal Hotel Palace.  It’s kind of like the Raffles Hotel in Singapore but not nearly as famous.  So I grabbed a local rickshaw and head out with my camera in tow.  I got there early afternoon and when I exited the hotel after walking around I seen this BIG halo around the sun.  I have no clue how or why it was there (maybe an eclipse or something) but I was determined to photograph.

Something should be noted that when trying to photographing the sun directly it isn’t easy and can actually be harmful to your camera sensor… but I didn’t care as I wanted the photo damn it!  To make any sense of the suns affect I had to includ something in the photo, which is why you see the hotel in the bottom corner.

    nice grab…. it is mostly easily visible for moon… Called Moon halos. people are less luncatic about actually seeing glaring sun and finding something around it. search for something like ‘halo around the moon’ and its the same for Sun.
