Gopal, Charu the choice of time was intended for good photography - no way was the bright day light going to be good, so planned the entire thing around the evening light.
Nice pictures…the Narasimha temple on top is our family diety..so get to go there at least a couple of times a year…but must say appreciate it even more after your pictures
GORGEOUS!!!!!! We have been here a few times. I have a picture that Vainu has sent me. It is framed. I love the temple and the way we climb upwards to realize God. I remember going through a cave. I thought how God makes us look at our ego and try to reduce it. I loved your pictures. Maybe next trip. So many things to do :-). It is fantastic that you are doing such a wonderful job with the places and towns that we all go to but forget to record our images. There is a Sanskrit Academy also there with plenty of plants.
Chitra, I think you are a fantastic photographer .
Sitting here in the UK ,I could almost feel how Melukote was!
Keep up your good work and Hearty Thanks,
Keep posting.
