Hampi

Posted by Alzashelza | 9th March 2008

Today we braved the sun and heat to wander the boulder-strewn ruins of Hampi.


The kind of sun that turns white skin red in under an hour. A sun that seems to stall at midday for 4 hours. But what a sight. Being Sunday we found ourselves joining the trail of Indian pilgrims making their way from ruined temple to ruined temple.

Mostly older folk, with hunched over spines, wrinkled faces and white stubble on dark chins. We passed Saddhus, orange material wrapped, orange strokes marking their foreheads; sharing coca cola beneath bouldered shade.
We passed masses taking holy dips at the fast flowing waters edge. Materials were dunked and flown upon the breeze to dry, creating brightly coloured sails flapping and fluttering.
