Melkote temple from a distance
We explored the Melkote Temple, about thirty miles (approx 50 km) outside of Mysore. Maybe I read too much Jungle Book as a kid. This is the sort of temple I’d always imagined in India: old and weathered, lost in the trees and visited by monkeys. Beautiful and well worth the trip!
