Four shots from Jamkhandi

Here are a four of my favorite pictures from Jamkhandi shot in a film-roll aim-n-shoot camera.

This ancient sculpted idol is at Rameshwara Gudi which is a part of the palace complex. Of course the temple is older than the palace. It is said that any person who can pass through that narrow gap with a wish, will have that wish come true. It seems the original gap was larger, the paving slabs have reduced a few inches. I don't think even a 6 year old could pass through it.

The tree spot is a great place to see sunrises and sunsets. It was peaceful and tranquil up there.

Jamkhandi is a small town but a prosperous one. It still has that rural touch and there are several interesting places nearby. I had stayed at a cousin's place here during the 14-day biking tour across Karnataka.
