• Hi all
    I had a free day at pune and though the sun was at his fiery best i
    managed to do some visits that might interest you

    1. paataaleshwar temple
    a rastra kuta kudavarai supposedly 8th century right in the heart of
    the town.the entire cave structure is below ground level.huge
    rectangle pillars hold the structure up. lots of wall sculptures have
    been defaced in the muslim invasion.

    2. kelkar museum
    the private collection of one individual had many chola bronzes, and
    lots of chola age stone idols.

    3. bandarkar institute or oriental research
    v.k should visit it. it has thousands of books many of them more than
    a century old . mostly the first printed edition from palm leaves or
    copper plates.
    they have seperate rooms for vedas, mahabaratha and ramayana versions
    too.

    shall give a link to the photos I have taken.

Howdy, Stranger!
