Tirupathi Rock Garden

Rare geological rock arch is atop the seven hills. This is the only one of its kind in the whole of Asia. Only two other arches are known to exist in the world..Interesting story & details can be found in wikipedia. 
Nothing much to see in this place other than this rock arch.. A few pictures of it is for you to enjoy...!













Behind the grils it was quite challenging to get a decent focus.. moreover the peacok was wandering here and there..








There was a small garden beside the arch.. But the entry was closed.. Clicked a few pictures from the outerside of the fence..

    As always such impressive images, it amazes me that you get such wonderful photographs under such difficult circumstance as shooting through wire fences.

    You don't really want that arch to collapse while walking underneath, as it will eventually happens unless it is reinforced! :)
    I like when nature gets excentric shapes like this!
