All around was nothing but barren land, but in the distance i spotted a structure. Was that for real or was my mind playing tricks on me? Yes, the sun was blazing, and i was hot & dehydrated. We had come this far, why not spend a few minutes exploring the area said my mind.. Trudging ahead, we parked the jeep and hopped off towards the structure amidst ruins and rocks.
That is when i spotted the sign board "Octagonal Bath". gigantic bathing area made
in the shape of an Octagon. There was a small corridor or sorts around the center, lined with pillars on either sides. In the center was a huge
octagonal shaped platform.
I am assuming the area around this center platform is where the water was filled. "Looks like they had a jacuzzi back then and really lived it up" were the thought running in my head.
So dry and abandoned now.
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures.
Nice one. The only other like this I know is the Swastik shaped Well with well laid steps where 8 people can take bath without being visible to the other at Thiruva(e)llarai(near Trichy).
ReplyDeleteThe place is so beautiful, but yeah looks totally being neglected! Jacuzzi of older times!
ReplyDelete@indrani= I know.. :(
ReplyDelete@varadh- Ah, interesting.. Havent heard of this place [we did look for interesting sites to explore while in Trichy.] shall mark this for the next visit..
@vaish- Yep, it is neglected and now we also find homeless ppl loitering the grounds, or random strangers using it as to catch an afternoon nap
Thanks Onkar
