A small rocky island.

Hampi, 19-12-1994. The present festival in the village brings all sorts of gurus, sadhus and babas - maybe better put: "local freaks!" - to Hampi. Down the river from Vittala temple I found a small rocky island with a tiny one-room temple on top of it. I`ve to jump from boulder to boulder to reach it, but the place is worth the effort!!! Not a soul in sight apart from some local fishermen a respectable distance away. The island does seem to be the home to a small band of Langur monkeys but my presence does not worry them nor does thiers worry me.
