Journey by Lijo Jose

its 4.30AM. Called Adarsh... Hey, we have 2 reach BTM Udupi gardens by 5.15.. The day started with this...

by 5.10, i got call from Raadesh saying they already crossed RajarajeshwariNagar Arch All the others reached there by 5.50.. Had breakfast from Kamat Lokaruchi. We stopped some places on the way to Melkote.

Meet all the photographers around Kalyani Pond. Exchanged greetings.. and all went taking photos whatever they see... Took reflections, landscapes shots with the temple in background, portraits...

In the mean time, one team went to hilltop temple. The other team (Adarsh, Somulss, Manasa, Sumit and me) went to explore the village streets. It was nice to see the people in and around the village houses. The old houses, old aged people... It was enjoying time for us ( Hope they also enjoyed the time).

Had lunch from one Iyengar Chatra

and headed towards Dakshinakodi. (couldnt reach there). we stopped at Rayagopura.. by that time Sandeep and team returned to bangalore.

Sky was full of clouds by that time. So we decided to visit the temple fast and start the return journey. On the way to temple, caught up with rain.

Had hot tea. and our team went up to the temple on top of hill.

Saw raining in a small area. Somu were concentrating on taking fotos of monkeys.

we couldnt explore inside the temple as it will be opened by 5.30pm only. so we returned to valley and started returning to Bangalore. We meet at CCD near Maddur.

Reached Bangalore by 8PM.
