Boat way, originally uploaded by Prashanth Manikya. Varanga, a jain pilgrimage is approximately 75 KMs from Mangalore and 45-50 minutes journey from Karkala. It’s a small village well known for the jain temple (basadi) which is in the middle of a pond. The basadi is called as ‘Kere Basadi’. The basadi is also a chaturmukha basadi similar to the one in Karkala. On all the four sides of the basadi statue of 22nd Thirthankara Neminatha, is established.

Its been a long time since (forget write a blog entry) I visited my blog. If you ask me a reason, answers you get will be the same stupid common ones – deadline, project delivery, slogging. *sigh* Fortunately I got sometime to have a look at the blog and scribble something. Reason – the application database is giving some terrible problems. Well that’s our DBA’s headache. And meanwhile I came across this article written by Roopa Suresh on ‘Smile‘.
