I am not good at mythology, I have tried naming cherecters. suggest me good names to the sculptures ( if you dint like my nomenclature). these are the images of walls of cave temples in mahabalipuram.

GovardhanaGiridhari.: To protect a town called “nandagopa”, krishna lifts a mountain called “govardhana giri” with his small finer. All living creature take protection under that.
Good morning… Then afternoon …..And now …

Friends complain for me not mentioning the place I click the photos. Most of the time it is not worth telling, sometimes I too don’t know them. So let me try from this time.
The location I clicked this is called “Narahari Parvatha”. It’s not a big mountain (as its name says) , but surely is a hill which has “sadashiva” temple built on the top of it. As usual people don’t like to climb a lot just to see god, unless he is a powerful god like thirupathi. Temple was empty, not a great trekking spot , but still…500 steps !!!

I tried to shoot Netravathi River, dint come up well. Look at the satellite image, Continue reading ‘Good evening’
In India believers have some undefined dislike towards animal products into places of worship. They are not allowed into temples and places of worships. I really don’t buy the idea of we all started as vegetarians and animal lovers, but I feel they are introduced into the religion to convince the followers to show god loves animals too.
Major three or four religions in India want its followers to be vegetarians. Most of the followers successfully convince their gods, that they will be vegetarians on specific days of the week (Fridays Lakshmi, Saturdays Vishnu etc).I saw so many of them while ordering in a hotel “two Rotis … and then …hmm… today what ..??Tuesday… alright … Butter chicken!”.
People don’t enter temples if they had taken any non-veg that day, and most of them can’t explain why?
These all confusing rules, people made them and the same people find loopholes not to follow them, Then why to have them at all. Why restrict only to temples.
There are some more of them
I have listed certain things which are missing in those rules.
I started loving history and geography only after I stopped studying them. Text books say Buddhism was propagated by ashoka’s sons to Srilanka, south-east Asian islands trade path. I could not see Lakshadweep Islands till 2007, how could they do with 100 BC technologies. Some of the other examples are: Big chunk of population in all those countries are of Tamilians. how ? Precedents (only those names I get to here) names are Suhardo, Sukarno, Meghavathi Sukarno-Putri etc which are almost Sanskrit. why ? One of biggest Indian temple is there in Cambodia. how ?
Some of the proofs that actually saw were in mahabalipuram. There were remains of a port, through which south Indians supposedly did trading and also exchanged culture and language. The other thing I am showing you was a light house.

Light house, of course is carved beautifully as any of other structures. It has a store room (which is not locked for avoiding illegal activities) for keeping wood dry. Burning woods (or may be coal) used to show direction for traders. It is located in such a place that entire city also can utilize light. Continue reading ‘India’s oldest light house’
