A Journey to the Ghats -- part III
It has been more than 6 months since my vacay and I find myself short of finishing this series (as has been the case on many occasions in the past). I have the urge to put a lid on this and hence this post.
I'm linking here the photos from Udupi and Shringeri.
The Udupi photos don't have any captions. None of them move me much, and the things that did move me (the Udupi Krishnan) wasn't available for photographing (where it is not the law, as a policy, I don't photograph the principal deities in Hindu temples). So I'll leave them to speak for themselves. There are a few that could use notes, I'll add them when I get around to it.
The photos from Shringeri however, in my opinion, are the best ones from this trip; even though they don't do justice to the vistas of the temple, the mutt, the view of the night sky from the bridge, or the bliss. The Vidyashankara temple tower is supposed to be an engineering marvel, but I don't know the details, and I'll enlighten you when I'm enlightened myself. Most of my photos are from a place situated about half a kilometer upstream from where the temple is situated. The elephant antics were a welcome bonus. :)
Well, that's the end of my trip to the ghats. Putting that lid was simple enough! Enjoy!
