These sculptures were made around 8th Century. Labels in Vatteluttu script apparently indicates some of these images were made in memory of departed souls. Many Jain Ascetics lived in these hills back in those years.

These boulders would have been watching all the changes happening at the ground from the top, it seemed.

The building is very close to the Sea and the cyclone had left it in ruins but it still has a charm and beauty.

This palace was built mostly with red bricks nearly 400 years ago in 1600s. Had withstood a few tests of time and earthquakes.

He has an unique way to carry the pot which is different from how people carry in lower altitude. He’s well accustomed to carry at such altitude. The monastery is overlooking the Manasarovar lake and such divine and beautiful place.

One of a breathtaking display of golden color that I had seen in an unmanned beach. So divine.

Historical building from the colonial era, creatively colored and lit up. It has apparently 927 windows. No air-conditioning those days.

His way of carrying a goat on his shoulders was very intimate and intrigued me. Glad he looked at me in approval when I had taken the picture too.

Surprisingly, this mural was removed and the wall got washed out within a few months.

This lake surprisingly has freshwater in about 15,000 feet above the sea level. This is a sacred place in four religions: Bön, Buddhism, Hinduism and Jainism.

She had chosen a fitting silk saree for the beautiful place with courtyards and temples, I thought.
