The Frangipani Tree & Temple in Hampi Karnataka: February 2021 Wallpaper Calendar This post is about the February 2021 Wallpaper calendar featuring a small hilltop temple in Hampi Karnataka. Now I have not traveled in 2020, so I wanted to cancel the 2020 Calendar and calendar contest as I did not have any recent pictures to share on the monthly calendar.

Mysore Heritage Walk & Coming Face To Face With History

Discovering A Slice of History as I accidentally go on Mysore Heritage Walk   There is an old saying “Even a small city in India has more history and culture than history textbooks.” What?

Before coffee plantations encroached upon forest lands, these hills were home to pristine evergreen jungles home to countless species of flora and fauna.

Road Trip to Bhagamandala Temple & Tala Cauvery in Coorg

Road Trip to Tala Cauvery Origin of River Kaveri in Coorg Most hill stations in India came into existence because of Sahib log during Raj wanting to escape the heat & dust during desi summers. Not so Coorg, it has been a flourishing Kingdom much before that, proudly inhabited by the brave and nature loving Kodava people. My introduction to Coorg was through Hindi translation of Chikavira Rajendra, by Maasthi Venkatesha Iyengar, the masterpiece that takes you through the turbulent times of the last king of Madikeri. Ever since then I have tried to go and soak in the experience of the Coorg the [Continue Reading By Clicking Here…]
