For last 2 months, I have been visiting place of historical importance in many places of India - in Karnataka, Rajasthan and Tamil Nadu. It looks like some one has been watching my itinerary and putting some effort to foil my trips. Wherever I go, all well known monuments were wrapped in bamboo poles for restoration work. It first started with the Bhoothanatha temple in Badami.

Then it was Amber Fort in Jaipur.

And yet another famous structure in Jaipur - Hawa Mahal.

And another one was again in south - the gigantic gopuras of Madurai were completely covered.

Fortunately, this will be all, since I have no more monument trip planned in near future. By the time I get out again on the heritage trail, I hope anything that needs to be repaired would be already repaired.
