Sri Bhootanatha Gudi, Badami, India
This is a hidden gem in Badami, Karnataka, a state in southern India. It took me exactly four days to discover that this temple even existed. I first came across it in a Google image, and I fell in love with it instantly. Although reaching the temple involves quite a bit of walking, the spot from which I took this photograph is particularly rare and special. On the other side of Lake Agastya, away from the usual routes, there is a quiet ghat where one can sit, take in the stillness of the water, and admire the timeless beauty of Indian temple architecture. The ghat is accessible only on foot, through a maze of narrow lanes, with no direct access by vehicle. Perhaps that is what makes the place feel even more special. Some places reveal themselves only when you are willing to wander a little further.
