Soundatti Kila and Water Treatment Plant Aminbhavi

It was second Saturday i.e 13th December 2014. As usual the day started with the routine housework. Since it was second Saturday of the month, dad had holiday. So, all three (Mom, Dad and me) decided to move out and chill for a day after a long time.

We decided to go to Soundatti Kila and Yallamana Temple. We travelled in a Soundatti bus at around 10.00 am from Dharwad. It was a nice view to see all the grassy fields on our way.

From Dharwad to Soundatti, it took one and half hour. We reached Soundatti around 11.30 am. From there we moved to Yallamana gudda to visit the temple. I had never been there and thus felt good to see the temple. We could see some localites and some people who had come there to visit the temple and spend time. We were there for half an hour and came back to Soundatti at around 12.15 pm.

As the time passed, we went to Soundatti Kila which is the oldest one. At the entrace, a brief information was given about of the Kila. We went in. It was a very old Kila. We spent more time around the place. Took rest in the Kila park and had some snacks. Many school students had also been there from a different place. They were enjoying playing the games.

After about one or one & half hour, we left the Kila. Had lunch in a hotel and then left to Aminbhavi, located in Dharwad District of Karnataka. It was about 5'o clock in the evening we reached Aminbhavi near the Water Treatment Plant. It was a good experience to be there to know how water is purified at different stages and how its been sent to the users through different channels. Below are some of the snaps taken over there.

Finally, we left Aminbhavi and at around 8 pm we reached Dharwad. It was a wonderful one day time spent with my family.
