Pics for Dakshinamukha Nandi Temple, Malleshwaram, Bangalore, India

This temple was literaly discovered a few years back.

Digging to lay foundations for a building in the middle of a metropolis, they found a temple that has been buried under sand for ages. It has been restored.

It stands very much under ground level.

From my trip to Hampi

Vyasathirtha a.k.a Vyasaraja

This is the tomb of Vyasaraja who was the guru teacher/advisor of Krishnadevaraya of the Vijayanagara Empire. It is near Hampi. I have just got Vyasayogicharite a champu kavya by Somanatha Kavi and am planning to read it. I am also looking for travelogues and other catalogs of those times. One that I have found is the pair Paes and Nuniz. I will post further after I have details.

P.S. I took this photograph myself. Anyone is free to use it in their articles on Vyasathirtha.
