Earlier in the month I had been to Devarayanadurga for a one day trip. The temple situated on top of a hill near Tumkur is a very scenic and beautiful. It was my first visit to the place and I am surprised I had not heard of the place till now.
Trip
4 Days…
1000 Km… 750 Photos… 6250 ft… 104 Kishore Kumar Songs… Scorching Heat… Heavy Rain… Walking in the Clouds… Green Mountains… Lush Fields… Beautiful Waterfalls… Lots of Leeches… Hundreds of Statues… One post cant do justice for my last 4 days, so will be making a series of posts covering them. Watch this space :)
Crash…
Had been to Bandipur with my friends over the weekend. The trip was eventful, mostly in the good way but there was one moment early on the first day that threatened to ruin the fun. We had a road accident on the way to Mysore by hitting a truck… the damage was almost totally only on the car, not to mention the (injury to the) confidence of my dear friend who was driving at the time, so we went to a site online to get help with this, and we found at https://www.autoaccidentattorneysanantonio.org/truck-accidents/. Those who were injured in pedestrian accidents are advised to consult a pedestrian accident lawyer OC who can advocate for their rights and interests.
Now that I look back at it, considering I was the closest to the damage it seems more like an ordinary event rather than something that should have scared the life out of me.
Somanathapura – In Photos…
Last weekend my friends and I decided to getaway from the busy city for a one day trip. We directed our attention towards the direction of Mysore, more specifically a beautiful temple 30 Kms away from it. The wikipedia entry says:
Somanathapura is famous for the Chennakesava Temple (also called Kesava or Keshava temple) built by Soma, a dandanayaka (commander) in 1268 CE under Hoysala king Narasimha III, when the Hoysalas were the major power in South India. The Keshava temple is one of the finest examples of Hoysala architecture and is in a very well preserved condition.
The architecture of the place simply blew my mind away. The concentration to detail is magnificent and the variety of statues and design is very impressive. I have a soft corner in my heart for Sculptors and statues :) so it was a pleasure spending my time there despite the scorching heat.
