En route we visited Nimishamba, the little kaveri , and my penchant for fresh veg, tomatoes helped a little. AFTER our official work , we proceeded to KR Nagara had hallimane ootta...hot sambar, steaming rice, rice vadams, rasam, curd, pickle, and tasty majjige....13 kms from there we reached Chunchunagatte...just like the bara chukki waterfalls, they roared, gorging springs, inviting beauty, lovely huge multi coloured rocks, hopping gaps, lonely surroundings...WOW I was mesmerised at the sprawling beauty laid for my eyes, ears, to devour as much as I want. As usual I took some adventurous hops, slipped, loved it instead of whining, bravo I patted myself. I AM not good at lens...saw the tiny temple from the mid of river..let me go..the village teens were playing in the natural green pitch...One boy tried to converse in hindi , little English , my chat of kannada...I felt guilty for not being

able to talk to them..he suggested I visit the priest house and req to open the temple , there were 3 majestic trees like moew than 1k years old, like Ma Kausalya, Sumita, Kaikeyi and Two giant trees like Bharatha and shatrughna...the temple Of Rama, Sita on his Right sidd and Laxmana in Kalyana posture with kothandam reminded me of Bharachala rama...right inside the garbagudi you do not hear the noise of the mighty , thunderous roaring waterfalls, an architectural marvel or science of sound technology...

The waterfalls has springs, gorging out, spewing yellowish stream..locals say Sitaji asked for turmeric.
The huge different sizes of rock, colours, mystic beauty... I must visit this place again...
