North Karnataka Road Trip in Car - Part II

In my previous post i talked about how we reached Hospet from Bangalore and next day morning, all were set to visit HAMPI.

For those who don't know what is the history behind this place:  
Hampi was the capital of the Vijayanagar Empire (1336CE -1565CE) and was renowned for its architecture. When the empire fell to islamic invaders the city was ravaged and much of it was destroyed. Some city structures and temples survived the war and today they are cared for by the Archeological Survey of India (ASI). The ruins of HAMPI is scattered around 28 kms.


After vacating our rooms, we took 2 leaflets that had HAMPI map. I have shown it in below pic.


It was around 30 minutes drive from Hospet to reach HAMPI. Note that Pooja is not conducted at any of the temples in Hampi because the idols are defaced.  First we covered,
1. Sasivekalu Ganesha (Mustard seed)

As we climbed the hillock, the Sun started to burn us overwhelmingly but the light breeze was our saviour.

2. Hemakuta temples




3. Virupaksha temple - At the Virupaksha temple alone pooja is performed at one of the sannidhis. The entry fee is Rs. 10 per person, For taking picture, you have to pay additional Rs. 25 & for videos you have to pay high and its Rs. 500. This temple, like most others at Hampi, has stunningly beautiful architecture. The main gopuram is as high as 160 feet and has carvings of various deities. The smaller gopuram is decorated with intricate pillars and domes. Perhaps this design drew elements from Islamic architecture. Regardless, this gopuram is unlike any other that I have seen in south India. There is a Elephant in the temple as well :)





4. Hampi Bazaar

We were very tired, so we went to one little shop and had nice n cold masala lemon Sprite :D Then we proceeded further to visit,

5. Kadalekalu Ganesha(Bengal Gram)

We had to walk about 500 meters to visit Bala Krishna temple. Before that we halted near the parking lot and had a tender coconut & Butter milk. After relaxing for around 15-20 min we visited,
6. Bala Krishna temple



After marveling at the architecture and sculptures, our excitement was still on high and we returned back and got into our car and left for next location.

We later visited,
7. Queens bath

8. Mahanavami dibba

9. Underground chamber

10. Kings audience hall


11. Zenana enclosure

12. Lotus mahal

13. Elephants stable


After visiting all nearby location, we were very eager to visit Vittala temple which is  the highlight of HAMPI. This is the place where "Stone Chariot" rests. We had our lunch in a small hotel and left towards the Vittala temple. After parking our car, we took a ride in a battery operated vehicle and reached Vittala temple. The ride was amazing for us and a new experience. The Vittala temple was not in a good condition and it was under repair. And one more worst part was, there was a stupid telugu movie shooting going on which gave full stop to our excitement. We did not enjoy that much there, but we had good look at Stone Chariot. but we missed Kings balance :(

14. Vittala temple

From Vittala temple, our last journey was to see Ugra Narasimha. It is situated near to Bala Krishna temple.

15. Ugra Narasimha

16. Badavilinga - This is situated next to Ugra Narasimha and is made up of single stone. Legend says that a poor women donated her money to build this one and hence the name was called.

By this time, it was around 5:15 PM. We left HAMPI and started heading to BADAMI (our next visit). We wanted to connect to NH13 but was looking for a shortcut. On the way, we asked a auto-driver for the route. He warned us that the road ahead leads to nowhere but we have to go back and connect to main road so that we will end up in NH13. We did not listen to him and we proceeded further. Finally we were scattered and started to look for help. Finally, with locals help we could connect to NH13. Before that we saw a beautiful canal of Tungabadra which is really amazing. I was really feeling to jump into the water but we had a time-crunch so we stopped there for a while and continued.


After connecting to NH13, we saw Tungabadra dam from the roadside. It was a very big one but unfortunately was not let out. They say that on 15th August (Independence day) they will open the gates of dam with all lights ON, pooja and so on. This will be open till October. After spending 10 minutes, we started our actual journey towards BADAMI. Around 7:45 PM we had our dinner and reached BADAMI before 9:30PM and checked in to our respective rooms. We planned for next day to get ready by 8AM. As planned we were ready by 8 and had our breakfast and left to visit BADAMI caves :)

North Karnataka Road Trip in Car - Part I

We planned to go for one road trip on car before the actual summer starts. So we chose places like Hampi, Badami, Pattadakal & Aihole. Initally, we were expecting many people to join but unfortunately only four could make it up for the trip.

We decided to cover all these places on 8th and 9th of March. It was planned in such a way that, we would leave Bangalore on 7th evening itself and reach Hospet by 10 PM and halt for the day. Then next 2 days cover all places and comeback to Bangalore on 10th March before evening.

There was a slight delay at the start as i was not able to leave office by 3PM on 7th March. We started around 4:30 PM and reached Dobbaspet around 6 PM for snacks @KAMAT. We were there for around 40 min and then left the place. After few hours of travel, we had dinner @ Chitradurga and continued with traveling. We were using Navigation to ensure whether we are following right path or not. When we were near to Hospet, Navigation system started to guide us wrongly. Believing that we followed and ended up nowhere :( It was like almost 20-25 minutes waste by just driving to wrong place. We called up the hotel guy and asked him to guide us to reach his place. He did not guide us properly and again started wandering here n there for around 30 min and finally asked the route from localites. They guided us properly and we finally reached the hotel. Time when we checked in was around 1:30 midnight. We got a very good offer on that day, they gave us 2 Luxury rooms for normal price. Below is the glimpse of the room :)


We were very tired that day and hence had a very good nap. Next day morning, everyone became ready within the planned time, ate an awesome breakfast and all set to visit HAMPI.

My Health-My Dream-My Body->depends on Food

When i was in Mumbai, i somehow managed to go to ECC - Employee Care Center as much as possible. There i used to play Table Tennis, Badminton, do swimming and gymming. I used to be very fit, used to maintain the perfect BMI index. My dream was to get 6-packs someday and i used to workout for that but wasn't that serious :) (so i could not make my dream come true)

After coming back to Bangalore, i met with an accident and started to put on weight. I did not do any kind of fat burning activities like cardio/sports/swimming etc.. My fat level increased drastically and the worst part was my tummy which started to accommodate fat very easily. On the other hand, i started to loose my muscles and started to look lean. Saddest thing was, fat in the abs started to increase :(

Observing this, i started to lower the quantity of my food consumption and it worked out very well, I stopped putting on weight and those extra calories intake was avoided. But i was not that happy because still i could see my tummy was sticking out and i was lean. So i decided to start gymming and reduce all those extra fat.

After few months of gymming, i noticed that i could not put on muscles instead my fat started converting into muscles and was still looking lean. Even after doing exercises for more than 1 hour, i was wondering what is the problem and why i could not gain muscles. Finally, i came to know that my food intake was very low and because of that i could not gain mass. Soon after realizing this, i started to eat so called balanced and perfect meal.

Within if few weeks of time, i could see a very good difference in my body mass. I started to get nice shapes, abs fat started reducing, mass has been increased and i felt to be fit.

Moral: For body building or fat reduction, food plays a major role.

Today was the day for ITALY in men's individual team event in Archery. There were plenty of shockers that took place. My favorite team INDIA scored same as Japan and lost to them in the tie-breaker. So INDIA lost 1 medal in total of 4. Now only 3 possible ways are left :-(

In the very first round i.e, 1/8 elimination, Mexico, Italy, Japan, Ukraine had to fight against their opponents to enter Quarter finals. But Korea, USA, China and France had got byes, so they directly started with Quarter finals.

In QF - Mexico, Italy, USA and Koreans won and entered Semi-finals. The shocker was that Korea ( who were known to be the best in Archery) lost to USA. But Koreans some how managed to end up with Bronze medal beating Mexico in bronze match.

USA and ITALY faced for Gold medal.
First round - USA: 52, ITALY:54 (Italy lead by 2 points)
Second round - USA: 54, ITALY:56 (Italy lead by 4 points)
Third round - USA: 57, ITALY:55 (Italy lead by 2 points)
Fourth round - USA: 55, ITALY:54 (Italy lead by 1 points).

Finally, ITALY won the Gold match by 1 points. USA came so close but in the end they could not overwhelm Italians. USA ended up with Silver medal and ITALY became the Champions by winning Gold medal.

Tomorrow might be the day for INDIA as women's team event will be held. After this, for next 5 days there would be Individual eliminations round to happen.

So i wish team INDIA a very good luck to get a medal for my country in Archery :-)
