Sitting on the edge of that rock which plunged miles below in the vast valley strewn with boulders, dotted with greens of bushes and trees was all set and ready to merge myself with the sunset sky. My gaze fixed on the stretch of the sky above the layers of hill range at the other end of valley, I absorbed the stillness of the moment. There were other groups of tourists scattered over the rocky terrain and murmur of voices could be felt but a kind of hushed expectant silence spread over the area. Every heart there was as if filled with deep reverence towards the most majestic, grand show of the day end. Sunset is there since humans are there on earth. So much has been said, written about it. We all must have witnessed more sunsets than we could count yet it's charisma never fades. Every time we see the twilight slowly descending on earth, the lights gradually fading in oblivion, the majestic sun gliding on the sky, in and out of clouds and the blaze of colours..the golden yellows, the vibrant oranges, the silky blue turning into deep purple, the dashes of pink, our heart is filled with awe. This sun there, must have seen the rise and fall of India's one of the most prosperous empire. The setting sun must have kissed the Gopurams of the temples scattered all over Hampi with same equanimity whether they dazzled in their glory or lay buried in dust and mud. The thought gave me a feeling of timelessness. The whispering leaves of the lone tree near the small shrine on rocks fell into a silence. Wind too sang in hushed notes. All around us a sweet tranquility prevailed. Occasionally the sound of bells from Virupaksha temple groups reached us. lt was a wonderful moment. A reassuring one when, suddenly that trust, that belief takes deep root within you that...everything is alright, everything happens for good. After the curtain fell over the majestic show of the sunset, I lay there on the rock watching the tiny pale stars slowly walkin in..life felt just so perfect. ~ ~ ~ ๐ ๐๏ธ ๐๐ ๐ฏ ^ ~~~~~~~~~~~ ^ ๐ฎ๐ณ ๐ฉThanks for visiting ๐ @hampi_focus ๐ธ๐ ^ _ Photography By:- @prapture _ #hampifocus #incrediblephotograp #karnatakastreets #karnataka one #karnatakapictures (at Hampi, Karnataka) https://www.instagram.com/p/By2azMMJC2Q/?igshid=fgrkhj66w82y
