[…] Somnathpura and Talakadu are sites with a large number of ancient temples, but most importantly they are architectural hot-spots near Bangalore which you would enjoy visiting irrespective of your faith. A trip to Talakadu and Somnathpura is like a mini-Hampi tour within 50 km from Mysore city. Talakadu was a Hindu Pilgrimage site which went under dunes of sand few hundred years ago. You can end your trip with a magical coracle ride in the serene waters of the Cauvery. 24km from Talakadu is the Somnathpura temple.The Keshava temple of Somnathpura is a 1000-year-old architectural wonder where you can still find the intricate stone carvings intact. You can also do a day trip to Shivasamudra waterfalls. […]

Ok, that is incredible that the Somnathpura Temple was basically empty!! You always find really cool places, Ketki! The falls look stunning with the cloudy weather and mountains in the background. I am preparing for my first trip to India next month (Kochi) and am beyond excited for my first look at this beautiful country. I will have to keep the Sivasamudram in mind for a second or third visit!

I was very nervous about visiting India. however I shouldn’t have been. India has a lot to offer travellers and there is so much to see and do. We only visited Jaipur and Agra but I’m a India convert and we will definitely be returning one day soon.

I went to Mysore when I was in school and loved each and every part of this place. Shivasamudram falls are really stunning and even the magnificent Mysore palace. You have taken beautiful photos of the fall.

Sivasamudram waterfalls look so full! I wonder how many waterfalls have one name but there’re separate Falls (we have Niagara here). I’m glad you decided to stop at the temple at your aunt’s suggestion. This makes a great day itinerary.

Lovely spot. Waterfalls are beautiful and these are no exception. Gaganachukki waterfall would be lovely to see from the watch tower you mentioned. Interesting that this was the location of Asia’s first Hydro-electric Power station.

Wow the waterfalls are impressive. I can imagine that they really look powerful. The noise when the water falls must be extremely loud.
