We had visited Krishnagiri, [84 KMs from Bangalore, towards Chennai, 140 KMs from Yercaud] In Tamil Nadu, India, for a planned ‘Photo-shoot’ of Krishnagiri Fort and an ancient Temple, (renovated a year back) of Lord Narasimha Swami (the 4th incarnation of Lord Vishnu). This video clip is of that temple, with emphasis on the ‘Gopuram’ [or Gopura], which is an ornate, monumental entrance tower of Hindu Temples. A glance of the Sanctum also is included, in the post.
This is not a post processed (ie. Unedited version only) video – hence do not expect a high quality output. The Krishnagiri Fort will be posted a little later.
Here are few Stills of the same Temple (Different Views):
To me, the intricate workmanship (hundreds of Idols) and bright colours gave a very special effect – How do you feel? Any comment about the craftsmanship?
I also request you to kindly plan for a South Zone meet up in Yercaud, may be in Jan 19; I appreciate, you are a master in organising meet ups, congrats.

Great video @TravellerG ! I’ve noticed you were there very early in the morning, is this to avoid disturbing pilgrims? Are there any restrictions in the area to flow drones?
In Hindu mythology, there are 3 Main Gods (Thrimuties) - they are Lord Vishnu, Lord Shiva & Lord Brhma. And, for maintaining the balance of Goodness & Evil, Lord Vishnu has taken 10 Avatars [Wiki] or incarnations (even the word, ‘Avatar’ has origin from Indian mythology). First four, starting from Fish, Turtle, Boar, Man-lion, have Animal shapes, in face or body.
This temple Lord Vishnu is present in the form of the 4th incarnation, Lord Narasimha (Man-Lion). Usually, all the nine incarnations, ening in Lord Krshna, is represented in these Idols or Sculptures.
