Snapshots of Hampi

elephant stables hampi india — Elephant Stables

Matt meditating in the Elephant Stable

One of the many depictions of the Ramayan found in a giant temple complex

Another cool temple

This was the ceiling in the temple partly submerged in water….it was pitch black so we didn’t actually see the bats until we were back and looking through photos

Where the queen went to relax – what’s interesting is the architecture: the upper section is Jain, the middle Buddhist, and the lower Muslim

The intricate archways in the queen’s relaxation area

Emer meditating at the other end of the Elephant Stables

Matt and rock

A serene water garden

One of the many Hindu gods

Stone carvings all by themselves – either ruins that fell far from the temple or something that was started and never completed?

Tee hee hee

We waded through this temple full of water and bats…not my favourite

Found a frangipani blossom just outside this temple on a hill

Massive water structure
