Southern India

The landmark site is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

The entire time spent at the site we were not wear any shoes but walk in our socks or bare feet.

After our visit to the temple we drove to a Bronze Foundry to meet a family of local artisans keeping the bronze making traditions alive.

Their works of art are incredible to see it made each individually with molds and then carefully creating works of art in Bronze.

It is explained to us how these Bronze items are made in to works of art.

Talk about tedious work this is amazing the end products all done by hand.

I spotted this horse and the orate work all done by hand through bronze with incredible talent to make the so special a piece of art. The price was very expensive but for the right person this will be a very memorable work of art. It was magnificent.

Early morning at 6:30 4 of us left the hotel with Pon who took us to the Cauvery River where locals and families bathe daily along with religious activities.. The location offer religious ceremonies for the departed. It was fascination to see. Those that did not go missed an incredible adventure to see locals early in the morning riverside.
