Chitra Aiyer

Like I mentioned in my previous post about Melukote, here’s the other post from the little trip. This post is mostly for the frames from the little town. The drive itself was extremely good – with the roads being good all the way. After we took the right turn from the main Bangalore-Mysore freeway into the country road leading to Melukote, the countryside immediately changed to being beautiful and well …. country like. Beautiful green stretches and wonderful sense of serenity – very typical of most of the interior South Karnataka roads.

As we reached the little town, we saw the hill that we were going to climb. on reaching the town, we parked and walked around the main street, at the end of which is the Cheluva Narayana Swamy temple. The place is so small that even that main street is hardly busy and mostly just reflects the laid back lifestyle of its residents. It may also have been so, since we arrived there in the late afternoon.

I maybe repeating myself here, but what the place is, is quaint.

Here’re some pics from the walk around the town.

A couple of interesting details noticed outside homes:

Kids here made darling subjects, like kids anywhere do.

Enjoying ice creams

Enjoying a lazy afternoon, right behind his dad’s push cart.

So, the recent posts are more about photography than anything else, which is the intent - to post photo essays, where the pics give a sense of what it is all about. I hope you enjoy them.
