Strong winds were pushing the coconut palms.
In the evening a storm was brewing and some kids had started a fire by the main temple.
Nandhini posing with her bike as a troup of pilgrimmers enter the temple even though it's actually after closing time and the guard would like to go home.
After biking around the palace we somehow ended up lost in the middle of a banana plantage, and had to ask the kind owner to rescue us, which he happily did.
A three toed giant accidentally stepped on this rock. In fact it's a plate made by the king so that he could serve a thousand people at the same sitting.
My favorite lions once again, smiling as they hold up the entire building.
Details from the outer walls of a particularly well decorated building on the palace grounds

Walking along the river in the early morning we came across several small ruins like this one.
The beach at the corner of the river right in between two big temples was a place of pilgrimage. Each day people would go for a quick swim while the small circular boats were drying on the river bank.
