Interesting and useful info for people planning a pradakshina around the Sacred Hill!
Where is the picture taken? Is it around the pradakshina path and if so, is it a festival, new moon, or normal day? Just trying to get an idea of how crowded it is there.
The picture I posted was taken at the beginning of a full moon day. Next month I will try and take a snap at the busy part of a full moon day - to give an accurate idea of just how busy it gets. The snap I have posted is deceptive - as the crowd is very small.
