Dear Srinidhi, You have succesfully captured the greenery of udupi district! Also note that there is special lighting for 1000 pillar basadi...which looks magnificent in twilight...(another first here is allowing photography of the basadi for a fee to be paid for maintenance fund- unlike most other temples where photography is prohibited!)
