Wonderful. I wish I should have been there with you. Last week when I visited Tala Kaveri and Bhaghamandala were experiencing heavy showers and during intermission the whole place was covered with fog and we could not see 10 ft ahead without light. But we enjoyed the beauty of the place . This reminded me of San Francisco (fog city) when under heavy fog. I shall try to visit the place again on a possible sunny day. One clarification : Is it not the place (Bhagamandala) where the rivers Kaveri, Kannike and Sujyothi are branched off and not merge ?
