From here and there.....

Things found , scenes seen....

Discarded . On the roadside wasteland , Mysore -Gundlupet road. 

Did the beautiful carvings on the stone make life less  of a grind for our poor grandmothers ? 

A pavilion in Kallhalli . A doorway ( to magic land? ) near Nanjangud

A watchful ogre in a Mysore garden. An antique clay doll in Tranquebar . 

And hiding behing the foliage......not Nandi  but a gnarled tree trunk .

----------------------------------------------------------

Ghosts of Bengaluru Past ......alleys behind Commercial Steeet :

From the attic : A seat ....with a game on the reverse side . Early 20 th century . 

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The ageless charms of a Halli Jaatre ! The colors, sounds and scents of Village Life !. 

Mud Fort of Begur

....or , what remains of it : 

The entrance.

The lone image on the entrance pillar  - garuda.

Renovated temple inside

Remains of the gateway to the old temple.
