We woke up late but were able to reach Alvas campus in time for breakfast. After having breakfast, we took an auto and went to Saavira kambada jain basidi, one of the famous basidi in the coastal region.

Chandranatha temple which is house for tirthankara Chandraprabha is beautifully built and this temple as the name tells has more than 1000 pillars. That is why it is famous.

Why do we go to temples when God is everywhere. This temple gives the answer by its calmness and peaceful location. We Bangaloreans tired of traffic, either has to come to these kind of peaceful places or else need to go to places where mother nature gives you a shelter like Sakleshpur, Chikkamagalooru, Coorg.

We spent nearly 1 hour talking about our experience in Nudisiri, my poems and then all those common interests.

Our next destination was Shobavana. I called Chandana who is as good as my sister. We got down near ladies hostel. She took us to hostel mess. Girls were wearing mini and shorts. Anil was already clean bowled by south canara beauties in Nudisiri. Since Sumi was warden here, I didn't even looked at any girls :-P. Anil was busy looking at all the girls. So after lunch she took us to Shobhavana which contains all the medicinal plants.
After spending useful time in the garden, we said good bye to all. We came back to Nudisiri.
One artist was decorating the floor with Rangoli near the entrance where literary experts were talking. He was really good in portraying his art.

Then we went to Art exhibition where we saw some of the collections of beautiful paintings and artistic sculptures by Mohan Alva.
We also found some puppies for sale. Anil was even interested to buy one.
Later we had some photo session in the night. Campus looked like a palace and there were more queens and princess than expected. I forgot to mention about book stalls. I am very much fond of books and having such a beautiful collection of books which are not even touched for years. hahaha. I spend more on books than my shoes which is my next crazy investment. Even I need to mention about Ishwari sangh's hypothetical imaginary views about Lord Shiva. But the story was really interesting and even what we have accepted about all these religion aspects have no base. It is just a belief. All the human relationships also built on belief and trust.
We had dinner and left to hostel. We packed our bags along with our memories and experience. It was indeed a different experience.
