सूर्य नारायण

In Frame : Sun God - source of all forms of energy, directly or indirectly on planet earth.

About The Picture: Side view of the Sun. Kadlekai Parishe has a history of over 500 years and according to the legend a bull — believed to be an incarnation of Shiva’s vehicle Nandi — kept destroying the groundnut crop at Hosakerehalli, Gavipura, Guttahalli, Sunkenahalli and Mavalli.

Farmers in the area offered their harvest to appease the bull and thus the fair started on the last Monday of the month of Karthika. In 1537, Magadi Kempegowda built the bull temple after which the road is named.

On festivals she is beautifully decorated with colorful usually red and golden yellow robes and cloth sheets and carries the idols of Lord Ganesha along with the religious processions which passes through prominent streets of Pondy notable among them is JN Sreat and MG Road.
