Sunset at Nuggikeri

Nuggikeri is a manmade waterbody nestled in a valley in the outskirts of Dharwad. This picture was shot in 2007 or 2008 from a house situated on Nuggikeri's eastern shore.

On its southern shore is Nuggikeri Hanuman Mandir. It is said that the Hanuman's image was found in the lake bed about 50 years back and a shrine was built. Over the years with increasing devotees the temple has become popular. Many people walk down from Dharwad to this temple on Saturdays.
