静水流深的传说 A tale of still waters
Champaka Sarasi，希莫加，印度
从瀑布到寺庙，位于印度南部卡纳塔克邦的希瓦莫加，拥有众多等待探索的奇观。这座城市历史悠久，在印度史诗《罗摩衍那》和《摩诃婆罗多》中均有提及。这两部史诗以诗歌形式创作，背景设定在印度古代印度教王国。希瓦莫加这个名字本身具有宗教意义，源自梵语“Shiva-Mukha”，意为“湿婆的面容”，湿婆是印度教三大主神之一。这里有许多寺庙，包括供奉湿婆的沙拉瓦蒂寺，以及位于科达查德里山的一座寺庙，登临此地可俯瞰西高止山脉的壮丽景色。
今日图片中展示的Champaka Sarasi，是一座历史悠久的纪念性池塘。它所承载的故事远不止于平静的水面。这座池塘由凯拉迪纳王朝的重要统治者之一的文卡塔帕·纳亚卡建造，以纪念他的爱妻占帕卡。池塘中央还有一座小型石庙，里面供奉着湿婆林伽，这是对湿婆的抽象或非具象描绘。希瓦莫加还以壮丽的瀑布闻名，其中最著名的是印度第二高的垂直瀑布，乔格瀑布。
Champaka Sarasi, Shivamogga, Karnataka, India
From waterfalls to temples, Shivamogga, in the South Indian state of Karnataka, offers experiences waiting to be discovered. Steeped in timeless lore, the city is mentioned in the Ramayana and the Mahabharata, epics composed as poems and set in the ancient Hindu kingdoms of India. The region's name itself holds a spiritual significance, derived from the Sanskrit words 'Shiva-Mukha,' meaning the 'face of Shiva,' the Hindu god. It is home to several temples, including the Sharavati Temple, dedicated to Shiva, and a temple in the Kodachadri hills that offers vistas of the Western Ghats mountain range.
Adding to this landscape is Champaka Sarasi, the monumental pond featured in today's image. It tells a story far beyond its waters. It was built by Venkatappa Nayaka, a member of the Nayakas of Keladi, an important ruling dynasty of early modern Karnataka. The pond was constructed in memory of the king's beloved wife, Champaka. It also has a small stone temple at its center, housing a Shiva linga, an abstract or non-figurative depiction of Shiva. Shivamogga is also renowned for its waterfalls, including Jog Falls, the second-highest plunge waterfall in India.

往事的低语 Whispers of the past
赫马库塔山，汉皮，印度
汉皮位于印度卡纳塔克邦，被联合国教科文组织列入世界遗产名录。从14世纪到16世纪，维查耶纳伽尔帝国统治着这片区域。而作为维查耶纳伽尔帝国首都的汉皮，自然留下了许多古迹群，例如古老的寺庙、雄伟的宫殿和满目苍夷的废墟。在克利希那德瓦·拉亚国王的统治期间（1509年至1529年），这座城市经历了大幅扩张，新建了很多具有艺术气息的建筑，吸引着来自世界各地的游客和商人。然而，1565年，维查耶纳伽尔帝国在塔利科塔战役中战败，汉皮也随之衰落。
如今，汉皮拥有约1000座古迹，现代背包客的到来让这座失落的城市重获新生。赫马库塔山是汉皮游客最多的地方之一，那里有许多保存完好的寺庙和神社。在山上游览时，游客们还可以顺便在湿婆神的维鲁帕克沙神庙停下来祈祷。
Hemakuta Hill, Hampi, India
Hampi is a UNESCO World Heritage Site in Karnataka, India. The group of monuments—ancient temples, majestic palaces, and intricate ruins—are remnants of the former capital city of the Vijayanagara Empire, which ruled much of South India between the 14th and 16th centuries.
The city grew during the reign of King Krishnadevaraya, from 1509 to 1529, and was famed for its art and architecture, attracting visitors from all over the world. However, Hampi lost its Midas touch in 1565, when it was destroyed after the defeat of its army at the Battle of Talikota.
Today, Hampi still houses about 1,000 ancient monuments and has become popular with modern backpackers, giving the lost city a new life. One of the most visited parts is Hemakuta Hill, with its well-preserved temples and shrines. While exploring the hill, visitors can stop by to offer prayers at the Virupaksha Temple, a pilgrimage site dedicated to Lord Shiva.
