Babia, the vegetarian crocodile.

Babia comes punctually for his lunch, provided by the temple priest at 1.30 every afternoon. Lunch mixture of rice and jaggery, the prasad offered to th deity. Babia has just this one meal – no dinner – and does not bother anybody, not even the fish in the lake. Legend has it that only one crocodile inhabits the lake at one time. When he dies, another one automatically appears to take his place.

Whispering gallery The Gol Gumbad in Karnataka that enshrines the tombs of Muhammad Adil Shah (1626-56), his wife, daughter and favourite court dancer, has a whispering gallery where the softest sound is carried up to 75 metres and more.

This acoustic wonder is possible because its vast dome has 10 feet thick walls with not a single pillar supporting them. St Peter’s in Rome is also an acoustic wonder.
