The Shiva temple in the village of Galaganatha in north Karnataka is a most picturesque place. An auto ride from Guttal through narrow lanes past fields and villages takes about 30 minutes to reach the temple.
(Salman) Sallu Bhai, our auto driver delighted us with his company and conversation.

The front porch of the temple, the friendly security guard and the river flowing behind. How many countless people would have prayed here and enjoyed this serenity through the centuries.
