These terraced fields reminded me the rice fields of Bali. Here, they are farming onions, potatoes and carrots.

This sculpture was hidden among the encroachments but revealed once they’re cleared recently. It’s a rare sculpture depicting the mythical story where Lord Shiva slayed a demon that came in the form of elephant. This Puthu Mandapam was built during the early 1620 CE Nayak rule.

Lush green blanket covered the entire mountain range and a sliver line of water fall coming down in the distance. It was a majestic view from that spot.

Such a tallest sickle can only be used in temples it seems, as weapon of a deity.

I had photographed him a few years back and happy to see him continuing the profession which is very rare in these days; and happy to see he’s having continuous business too.
