  41. In a country like India, it is amazing to find a place like Manjeshwara.. The architecture of the temple looks so beautiful. I love the name "Pancha Bhasha Bhumi". Please explore the place called Mattur in Karnataka. It is the only place where people still speak in Sanskrit :) . Looking forward to seeing more information about this place from you :)
