Moodbidri

It was 10-15am when we reached Moodbidri. Moodbidri, a Jain shrine pilgrimage is 30 Kms from Mangalooru. 5 centuries ago, a Basadi called 'Saavira Sthambha Basadi' or a 'Thousand Pillar Temple' was built here. The temple is worth a visit, and we did have a doubt whether there really were thousand pillars there. It was here that Harisha underwent a transformation, and became the first 'Theerthankara' of 'Kempusagara'. He earned a lot of respect from everyone, and his one-liners, though a bit dirty, and worth being censored, did not prevent us from laughing our hearts out. Each person took up a pillar, and lots of photos were clicked. Finally, we moved on.
