Temple ponds, or, 'Pushkarni's are such an integral part of ancient temples. I just can't get over the idea as well as the efforts that must have been made to build them.
Often, these ponds are quite polluted. But for the presence of some stagnant water, some of them look like dump yards :(
So, it was a pleasure to come across this clean one at the Janardhana Swami Temple at Yermalu on the Udupi- M'lore highway.
Dakshina Kannada & Udupi districts can be called the temple districts of the world- there are so many temples that one would need a lifetime to cover all of them! So, not surprisingly, this was our first visit to this temple.
If the M-S wedding didn't take place here, we would have missed this one. The idol here was installed by Saint Madhavacharya- social reformer & philosopher who lived 700 years ago.
This pond has obviously been renovated since, but, surely, the origins date back to the 13th century, or, earlier? You know, according to traditional wisdom, if the water of a pond is blue-green in colour, it means that the water source never dries up. Of course, we know that the colour is due to the presence of blue-green algae. Maybe, this species thrive in water sources that never dry up?

Great blog! RPE pond liners are an excellent choice for pond containment, offering superior durability, UV protection, and chemical resistance. They provide a secure barrier against leaks, ensuring long-lasting water containment. For optimal performance, proper RPE pond liner installation is essential, ensuring a seamless and effective solution for pond applications.
ReplyDelete"Great post! Woven caution tape seems like such a practical solution for marking off hazardous areas or construction zones. I’ve seen it used at several worksites, and it’s a reliable choice for durability and visibility. The fact that it’s woven makes it stronger than regular plastic tape, which is especially helpful in windy or outdoor environments. Does anyone have recommendations for the best places to buy woven caution tape in bulk or any specific brands that stand out in terms of quality? I’d love to hear your thoughts!"
ReplyDeleteWhen it comes to strength and durability, the High-density plastic sheet really stands out. Whether it’s for industrial or commercial use, these sheets provide excellent performance. I’ve used them for various applications and am always impressed with how well they hold up in tough environments.
