As I stood before the intricately carved pillars of Sri Chennakeshava Temple, Belur a single sunbeam slipped through the stone arches, casting a golden thread on the temple floor. I raised my camera, hoping to capture not just the light, but the quiet hum of centuries in that moment.

Standing in the heart of Vijaya Vitthala Mandir's Kalyana Mantapa, Hampi I watched the light dance through carved pillars, feeling like I was capturing echoes of ancient weddings. Each click of my camera seemed to preserve a memory from Hampi’s timeless past.
