Watery Wednesday- A pond in the Jungle

We came across this ancient , heart shaped pond as we were driving from Sirsi to Sonda. The pond belongs to a delapidated temple nearby. Hundreds of years ago, the temple and the pond were popular places of pilgrimage. Now the jungle is slowly and inexorably taking over.

    Fascinating picture, and story. I guess that fish could have been itroduced in a pond like this. In that case, it might also be a small chanse taht some have survived.

    I love the wall and steps down to the pond. Must be really neat to see something like that that's been there for so long.
