Archavatars - energised idols

The deity, Chamunda or Charchika, garlanded by skulls, sits on a corpse flanked by a jackal and an owl.

The main deity is surrounded by allied deities in niches, framed by pilasters.

The figure on the north wall rises from the ground, having filled his skull-cup with blood of a person - whose severed head lies on the right.

On the pedestal is an offering of 2 more heads on a tray, upon a tripod.

The tripod is flanked by a jackal feasting on the decapitated body and a woman holding a head.
Tantric character of the temple is also evident in the stone post, to which sacrificial offerings were tethered.
Artificial light is needed to see in the darkness of the interior, which gets lit up by rays of rising eastern sun.

Pampa saras - Hampi ruins

Pampa saras is featured in the Ramayana.
It is a part of the Kishkinda kingdom.

All that is Pa in other south Indian languages, becomes Ha, in Kannada.

Paal - milk- in Tamil, is Haalu in kannada; Pavalam - coral - becomes Havalam.
Pampa is Hampa; today it is Hampi.

Ruins of Hampi are a great tourist attraction, for people from abroad.

Widyaranya - of wild skills -  started the Wijayanagara empire here, with 2 shepherd lads, after  he sighted auspicious signs.
