  1. Being in Karnataka This is one place I would love to go one day Hampi, My life is stuck in Bangalore and I am Bangalored.The way you guys are exploring it on a motorcycle 🏍️ I wish I could do some day. You guys rock 👍🏼

  2. ಧನ್ಯವಾದಗಳು ನಮ್ಮ ಬಾದಾಮಿಯ ಗತವೈಭವದ ಗುಹಾಂತರ ದೇವಾಲಯಗಳನ್ನು ಜಗತ್ತಿಗೆ ಪರಿಚಯಿಸುತ್ತಿರುವುದಕ್ಕೆ.ಹಾಗೇ ಚಾಲುಕ್ಯ ಕುಲತಿಲಕ.ಚಾಲುಕ್ಯ ಚಕ್ರೇಶ್ವರ ಇಮ್ಮಡಿ ಪುಲಕೇಶಿಯ ಬಗ್ಗೆ ತಿಳಿದುಕೊಳ್ಳಿ ಆತ ಮಹಾನ್ ಪರಾಕ್ರಮಿ.ಆರನೇ ಶತಮಾನದಲ್ಲೆ ಇರಾಕ್ ದೇಶದ ಎರಡನೆ ಖುಸ್ರೋನ ಅರಮನೆಗೆ ತನ್ನ ರಾಯಭಾರಿಯನ್ನು ಕಳುಹಿಸಿದ್ದ ಮತ್ತು ಅವರಿಗೆ ಸಹಾಯ ಮಾಡಿದ್ದ.ಹಾಗೂ ಖುಸ್ರೋನ ರಾಯಭಾರಿಗಳು ಪುಲಕೇಶಿಯನ್ನು ಭೇಟಿ ಮಾಡಿದ ಶಿಲ್ಪಿ ಇಂದಿನ ಮಹಾರಾಷ್ಟ್ರದ ಎಲಿಫೆಂಟಾ ಗುಹೆಯಲ್ಲಿದೆ ಈಗಲು ಆ ಶಿಲ್ಪವನ್ನು ಅಲ್ಲಿ ನೀವು ನೋಡಬಹುದು.

  3. What's the sense of the video title?? Why shouldn't it be India? U mean to say anything good or great can't be associated with India? That's wat u westerns means all the time. Before u try to monetise on our country, first learn to be respectful.

  4. Yes Offcourse, there was always religious tolerance Inherent in Hindu culture before Bloody Abrahmic religious fanatics like Muslims and Britishers arrived to loot India.

  5. You won't believe how long I waited for this video to drop😅. I was literally checking if y'all uploaded whenever I got breaks from work haha

  6. A) Badami caves are not from 6 century BC, but 6 century AD. Badami is much older to Hampi and also Ellora. Badami-Aihole-Pattadakal region is the cradle of Hindu temple. This is where both the Noth Indian and the South Indian temple styles were born.
    B) Badami Caves are carved out of red sandstone, not granite. Hampi is mostly gray granite.
    C) Hampi is not an ancient city. It is an early to middle-era medieval city.
    D) You should have given many more days to Hampi. For example, the building you called Parthenon of India houses a gugantic Ganesha statue, known as the Kadalekalu Ganesha. The temples you crossed had more exquisite sculptures than those in Virupaksha. To be genrous, you saw about 5% of the magnificence of Hampi.
    E) That is not a tractor festival, that is a harvest festival. They deck up all agricultural resources,–tools, bullocks, and now tractors too.

    Hope this helps. Keep up the good work! Cheers!

  7. Good to see you guys covering India by bikes 🏍️ My native place is close to Badami and currently I live in Copenhagen, Denmark. Would Love to see you both and greet if anytime passing by here ..

    Best wishes & safe journey,
    Avinash

  8. The big cows with big horns tent to get angry in hot weather so as you go in more hotter states please stay at a distance with them.

  9. What an absolutely fantastic place! Just imagine the time it took to carve out those temples.
    Do you have to pinch yourselves to verify you're not dreaming 🤔

  10. I still can't believe this huge area of Hampi exists in India and I've never heard of it. Amazing!
    And the fact that you can ride through it all is incredible! That place rocks! 😝
    HaHa! Steal people's phones and subscribe to Lavi & Ollie!
    That is insane that they carved such intricate detail out of a cave! Imagine how much time that took! I so want to tour through India now, mind blowing!

  11. India better do something about the air pollution because it causes acid rain which willl damage temples.

  12. Thoroughly enjoyed this one🎉🎉❤
    Will definitely plan to visit showed me my land which we would not have visited but just heard about it😂

  13. 1. Virupaksha temple was left alone by invaders for the exact reason it was not built by Vijayanagara kings. All other temples were destroyed and not in current worship
    2. The speed bumps are actually constructed illegally by local villagers, that's why no indicators

  14. Dont miss Ellora Caves when you entered Maharashtra State. You'll miss seeing the 8th Wonder of the world if you don't see it.

  15. 11:00 It was spicy. Yes, as you go towards North Karnataka things gets spicy. Keep a watch on your tummy. I am still in the middle of the video and you are yet to reach Badami Caves. I would have suggested you to stay at Bagalkot and explore the surroundings. Avoid poori bhaji for breakfast during driving time (sometimes oil used may backfire inside stomach). Just near the Badami / Aihole / Pattadkal … there was a small villages / towns called Ilakal / Guledagudda. Ilakal is popular for traditional sarees and Guledagudda for blouse materials.

  16. There is a proverb in Kannada. RAVI KANADDU KAVI KANDA (What the Sun failed to see, was spotted by a poet).
    You guyz have a poetic hearts. That's why you guyz are exploring the back roads instead of highways and enjoying the unexplored beauties. I am feeling very sad that I could not be of any help for you guyz while you were in Karnataka. Someday when you come to Bangalore, I hope to come face to face (even if it is for a few minutes for handshakes n hugs) and will be able to host you.

  17. Looking forward to Aihole and Pattadkal visits. Moreover, you might have been guided to explore VIJAYAPURA (formerly BIJAPUR). When you were in these places (North Karnataka) I hope you were exposed to Jowar Rotis instead of Chapatis / Rotis. There was another local cuisine which is not popularly known in other parts of Karnataka and it was called MUTTAGI.

  18. "Salt" …Ollie its Sugar 😂 You just scoop it from the ground and mix it to your coffee…Easy eh?

    Your ignorance is mind blogging at times…Twice you entered the "Shiva linga" – Let me make this easy for you…Your comment about "sacrificing" "someone" that "room" and the other part where your partner slipped that "room" …Both are Lord Shiva's "Room" ..You say you've done your research, i wonder what research that is…One more thing, i know you cannot pronounce indian words..Just dont butcher it if your tongue doesn't twist..Perhaps post a link for other's education purposes..That might help your tongue…

    Happy travels 😊

  19. 0:30 That is made of rice flour. Its to bring prosperity and happiness in the home. And the rice flour also serves as food for small birds to pick.

  20. Hi Lavi and ollie, great video, The temples and caves are amazing, and there everywhere , the carvings are also amazing, you two are like film stars in India, so many people wanting photos taken with you, especially Lavi don't be upset ollie 😢, they do like you aswell 😊. Take care from Roy 👍 😊.

  21. Introduction

    Varadaraja Perumal Temple is one of the celebrated places of worship of Lord Vishnu. Hailed also as including Thirukkachi and Hastigiri in many scriptures and literary works, it remains a Divyadesam that the Azhwar saints have sung about, in their sacred hymns. This is also one of the 3 most sacred Vishnu shrines and is referred to in the Vaishnava parlance as 'Perumal Koil,' with the other 2 being Srirangam known as 'Koil,' and Tirupathi, as 'Tirumalai.' This temple is located in the ancient and historical temple-town of Kanchipuram in Tamil Nadu. The part of the town where this temple is situated itself is known as Vishnu Kanchi, in view of the presence of this temple and some others, dedicated to Vishnu. The presiding deity Lord Varadaraja Perumal, also called Devaraja Swamy, is housed on a hillock called Hastigiri or Aththigiri, in the temple. Goddess Perundevi Thayaar is his consort. Many saints, Acharyas, the preceptors, and Vaishnava scholars have lived in this place or worshipped in this temple. The temple is also known for 'Athi Varadar,' a unique statue of Varadaraja made of a special Athi wood, that is, fig tree, that is maintained inside the temple pond, and brought out for public darshan, once in 40 years. 'Kanchipuram Idli,' the special snack offered to the Lord here, is quite famous.

    Temple Legends

    There are a few mythological stories about this temple, most of them involving Goddess Saraswati. Indra, the king of the celestials, was once cursed by Saraswati to become an elephant, but he was relieved of his curse by Vishnu's grace, here. Hastigiri means the elephant-hill, and Indra is said to remain as the Hastigiri hillock on top of which, the Lord is enshrined. As per another story, Brahma performed a sacrifice here, but his consort Saraswati, who had some misunderstanding with him, came in the form of a flooding Vegavati river to wash away the Yagya. But Vishnu laid himself on the path, halted the floods, and ensured the successful completion of the sacrifice. This Vegavati of the legends is said to be the Palar river, of the present times. He is also said to have emerged as Devaraja Swamy with the brilliance of innumerable Suns from the sacrificial fire and stayed here. As he came out of the fire, the face of the processional deity bears many scars on it. It is also said that 2 of sage Gautama's disciples incurred a curse and turned into lizards. They worshipped the Lord of this temple and were relieved of their afflictions. 2 lizards can still be found in the temple roof as if to bear testimony to this legend.

    The history and Architecture of Varadaraja Perumal Temple, Kanchipuram

    Plenty of inscriptions are found in this temple to show that several ruling dynasties of the southern part of the country, like the Cholas, Pandyas, Cheras, Kakatyas, Hoysalas, and Vijayanagara Kings have contributed to the temple in many ways. However, its renovation and expansion took place mainly during the Chola reign.

    Spread across an area of 23 acres, this vast temple is as much known for its religious significance as for its architectural and sculptural greatness. The temple contains 3 main precincts, 32 shrines, nearly 20 Vimanas, and hundreds of pillared halls. Lord Varadaraja can be worshipped in the main shrine on top of the Hastigiri hillock, in a standing posture. His 10 feet tall majestic idol is so designed that the Sun rays fall on it on the 15th day after the Chitra Pournami, the Full Moon day of the Chittirai month. Perundevi Thayar, his consort, is housed separately at the ground level. There is also a Lord Narasimha shrine at the base of the hillock. Rajagopuram, the main tower above the western entrance is 7-storied, while the Eastern tower is much taller. A massive granite compound wall runs around the temple complex. While there are Vijayanagar period murals around the sanctum, beautiful granite sculptures and carvings are found in many of the mandapams. Kalyana Mandapam, the 100-pillared hall, is of particular significance in this regard. Considered a masterpiece of Vijayanagara architecture, it contains many eye-catching sculptures, including those from epics like Ramayana, Mahabharatha, and Bhagavatha. The exquisite stone chain sculpted from a single rock hanging from the corners of the roof of the hall is found swaying gently in the wind, and that very sight is breathtaking! Anantha Saras, the temple tank, is inside the complex, and Lord Athi Varadar is lying in its waters. There are also shrines for many other divinities and saints here, and these include Chakratazhwar, the Chakra of the Lord, Azhwars saints, and saint Ramanuja.

    Temple Festivals

    The annual Brahmotsavam celebrated during Vaikasi (May-June) can be called the biggest festival of this temple. The festival deity is carried on various mounts in grand processions daily, in the mornings and evenings. Of these, the Garuda Sevai, the Lord riding the Garuda mount, is of particular significance, drawing thousands of enthusiastic devotees. 'Athi Varadar,' the wooden image of the Lord coming out of the temple tank once in 40 years, remains a big celebration, too.

    Benefits of worshipping Varadaraja Perumal

    The term 'Varada Raja' literally means 'the king of boons.' Thus the Lord remains a great benefactor. It is believed he can bestow educational excellence, prosperity, and family welfare on the devotees. It is also a belief that praying to Sudarshana Azhwar, the mighty discus weapon of the Lord, can remove obstacles in marriage, ensure victory in court cases, and give mental peace. People also pray to Perundevi Thayar for progeny blessing and cure of illnesses.
