Samudram Embankment

Now that Samudram Lake is bone dry, in my evening walk with my doggies decided to walk over to the opposite side and climb up the embankment for a different view of Arunachala.


And here it is. The time is about 6.50 and its getting quickly dark.




The rains won't start up for another 6 weeks, and in the meantime some local villagers are using the rich land to plant pumpkins, which they valiantly defend throughout the day against large numbers of wandering goats and cows.



Below looking from another direction.





The small shrine dedicated to the Divine Mother, is a recent addition.




And in the distance Arunachala.
