Rant 57: A journey of a 1000 Pillars

Moodabidri, around 35kms from Mangalore is quite renowned for this 1000 pillared Jain temple (also referred to as a Basadi).
An interesting place I say. Though I should add that I reached there in the worst possible time, NOON! It is by far the worst time to take pictures. Still hope you like them

The Pillars

Beyond the hallowed gateway lies....

Lets not forget the Elephant in the room...or is it two?

 

All hail the great Jain prophet, Sri whats-his-name!
