Nila in the rain


Nila is celebrating the monsoon this year unlike many other previous years where it was struggling to touch both the banks. Two weeks of continuous rain has it banks flooded and it's a beautiful site to behold. Some images from yesterday and this morning:

Pic: One of the most famous temples along Nila: Tirumittakodu

Wow..I am from Tavanur and I had to CHamravattom the day before and you know we couldnt go to the temple as its been covered in the river almost fully. It seems the water hasnt gone up so high in more than forty years. Don u guys have pictures of the temple.? Would be great to see. BTW< its truly amazing to read your blogs. Where do you live?

Sree they say that every other year,ie.about the water levels.The beauty of that temple is the seasonal dry/flooded state.I guess one of the few temples where the dieties & temple itself gets a thorough top to bottom bath!
