Back in Belur 2011

Another of my favourite temple towns in Karnataka, Belur, which I first visited five years ago; just as impressive the second time around.

Some of my photos are now available to buy in a variety of sizes and finishes, or as digital files, at SerenityPhotography.co.uk. Search through my entire library of stock images here, including all my stock images of India.

You can keep abreast of my travels by visiting my website underwater-girl.co.uk.
