Hi dear Hive community,
Part of our time in Hampi we decided to spent camping outdoors. We found a nice food parlour on the outskirts which was preparing to open the camping place for the approaching season.
We enjoyed our time there, even thought one night was for us full of adrenaline. We were sure that a big snake is hidding next to our tent as it was jumping in the thin fabric and moving all around. We called for help the owners which came with big sticks and instructed us to evacuate the tent. In the end there was hidding only a small kitten which we met the first day near the restaurant.
One day we decided to take a short walk in the nearby area. We walked on the main road and met a farmer who was transporting some greens with the help of two huge oxes. They were looking so majestic - tall with big horns.
Later we saw a big signboard leading to the temple with the viewpoint. The temple is known as Malayavanta Raghunatha Temple, and is dedicated to lord Rama.
Just before we reached the entrance to the temple we saw a group of 4 newborn cubbs. A local man said that today someone came and dropped them here. They were looking so skinny, luckily people before us gave them some food. As it was very hot we gave them some fresh cold water to drink. It was very heartbreaking seeing this, however it is very common thing here as the population of the dogs keep raising.
The temple was looking nice with many detailed carvings. In the end we rather explored the outside areas which later lead us to another smaller temple even more up on the hill. The path was hidden so not many people discover this.
We were happy that we stayed there for the sunset. A bit more lower a big crowd of people came in the meantime. Happily we sat down and enjoyed the peace, serenity and beauty of the big orange ball falling down from the sky and slowly disappearing.
Thank you for reading. Wish you a nice day!
