Vednathangal is a very pleasant place to visit even during the hot summers.
I went there with my family last month in the evening and had a nice time.

Action Points:


Now that the skies are clear and we have snapped enough, we turned our attention to the actions happening down below.

The guests were moving, lying in their homes, taking care of their young ones. While the family heads were busy bringing food and construction material, the home makers were busy guarding their to-be-hatched and already hatched young ones.

Here too, the guests with the flora in the back drop and their reflections in the water rendered some dramatic shots.
