Even though this tower was built during Chola period, some of the details might have been modified during the later Nayak Period. The Krishna Leela statues might have been added during the Nayak period.

Somehow, the golden yellow blends well with the Sandstone Architecture.

It might have been once a large complex. They’re now trying to restore as much as possible.

It was beautiful blue sky and the gurdwara (temple) was glistening in the Sun, at the middle of the holy pool (sarovar). As like any gurdwara, they welcome everyone here without asking about one’s identity.

It seems to be a popular now for new couples to have their photoshoot. I liked how their silk attire blends with the ancient architecture.

One of a big and oldest temple with unique craftsmanship and I liked the woman entered exactly at the centre of the doorway.

Nandhi is always positioned facing God Shiva traditionally. This statue was facing Darbhar (Royal court) inside the palace complex which housed temples as well.

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.

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