This is a wall outside the entrance to the back yard of a temple complex. This is in the town of Mahakuta, it's around Badami somewhere. Behind this wall, in the background of the photo is a shrine complex, but I didn't go in. They said I couldn't take pictures, so I stayed out (it's an actively used complex).
This is the entrance from the previous picture, seen head-on. Just behind the entrance is the ever-present Linga.
These guys asked me to take their pictures. They had just finished bathing in the creek you can see in the background, just ahead of the tree on the left.
Same view, but here you can see someone bathing in the creek.
A Banyan tree outside the temple, a close up. You can't really see how big is is here.
Same tree, a little closer.
Another Banyan tree, opposite the previous one. This one is huge -- you can see the scale by the buildings next to it -- they are about six or seven feet tall.
The trunk of the tree, maybe 12 feet across.
Goats on the road from one small town to another (I think this is between Badami and Pattadakkal, but I can't remember).
This is a cow-drawn wagon seen from the bus on the way to Badami. This was taken just before we reached Badami, in a little town.
These guys are having a festival. This is a little town near Aihole. They said the festival was a "Hindu Freedom" one... I assume it was pro-Hindu, as they all seemed happy.
The bus I took from Badami to Bangalore on the way home. This bus sucks, at least if you're on it for 13 hours.
Some random farmland somewhere between Badami and Bangalore.
