@smurthys@hachyderm.ioFeb. 23, 2025: Bhaageerathee (River Ganga, "Ganges"), Udupi Krishna Matha #India. π‘
A most memorable presentation of this idol. It captures a river's flow very well. (My wife and I had offered this cloth for use that day.)

@smurthys@hachyderm.io#throwback Aug. 25, 2024: Beautiful teak entry door at Swarnawalli Matha, Sonda #India. Very heavy; at least 8ft tall.
BTW very serene both inside and outside the temple. π
Also, very generous people. I remember they gave us nice tea and evening snacks. βΊοΈ

@smurthys@hachyderm.ioAbout four decades ago, a coworker of my mom visited Australia and brought back gifts for people she cared about. Her gift to my mom is still in use. It still looks and works quite well, as I found out myself a few days ago. βΊοΈ

@smurthys@hachyderm.ioSep. 3, *2024*: On the way to and at Bengaluru airport, returning home to the US, completely oblivious to the (awesome) changes to come my life's way; changes because of a just-concluded 3-day road-trip. πββοΈ π
