Brindavan is about 30-40 minutes from Mysore depending on where you stay. The light show was nightly when I was there in October 2009.

The gardens at Bylakuppe (about 2 hrs from Mysore) were the best manicured of any that I saw in India. No light show however. It is a Tibetan refugee settlement, so if you have not been to Dharamsala or Nepal, you can get a healthy dose of Tibetan culture there. Plan to arrive 11-12 to wander the grounds and grab a quick lunch. The prayer service at the temple is at 1:00 and open to the public.
