colorful marathahalli


Marathahalli was(is) a village. now, its a place where clothes/shoes/other fashion accessories of all brands are available. alas, there not a tree in sight on the main road. if one wants a felt tip pen for sketching or a bottle of ink for their fountain pen, there is not a single stationery shop in a 2km radius. if one names peter england, allan solly, levis or arrow, that is readily available.
but on 22nd night, the market place of marathahalli was all colorful. a perfect dose of past culture for the prevailing.









karaga pooja in progress.. ..



aspirations set afloat...

sPEAKING sTONES

Last week had been to lepakshi. the usual way. me and my companions - my bike and my nikon. was also accompanied by Ninad Kularni. for more info on lepakshi - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lepakshi

the open air marriage hall



these pillars definitely have something to say. what say ?
PS : 1 peculiarity one has to observe :
the main deity is lord Veerabhadreshwara ( lord shiva) and the pooja is done by a shree vaishnavite. this, i felt was peculiar as i was seeing this combination for the first time.
