Tarkeshwar Mahadev

A Baroda where temple, trees, grace, aesthetic, Sayajirao's influence, quiet all come together, 

These elephants are as cute as any I have come across, 

A Baroda that is old and crumbling, yet beautiful and appealing, and can do with some restoration, 

If the dilapilated windows are this grand, one can only imagine, wish, 

A Baroda that invites me to be amidst meaningful silences, 

This made me feel the temple wanted to shake hands, greet playfully as we stood next to the door, 

A Baroda which reminds me of Banaras, that trees at temples have a special feel, 

And that we have not yet learnt how to build platforms around their trunks, 

A Baroda I have not experienced previously, 

A Baroda I am glad exists, 

A Baroda I look forward to knowing better, 

More about the place here, 

Thanks Eesha for the images,
