Melukote- A Synthesis
Melukote with a unique topography is also an amalgamation of the local charm and the exotic elsewhere. Melukote(Which means a fort on the top) is a quaint temple town sitting on a hillock(Called Yadavagiri) is famous for its age-old temples, Kalyanis(temple ponds), Ramanuja, Puliyogre, Sweet Pongal, and esoteric Sanskrit. The old and the new meets here eliminating all the conflicts(or may be concealing the conflict arising from this union of old and the new). The green ponds, geometric designs, diverse worshippers, monochromic rocky hills, traditions, the flowering trees, mischevious monkeys, isolated yet uniquely mingled town made me take out my camera and find this union. (I might have or might not have got the best) but hopefully, you will like them.
