Puttur, Aug 5: While every one wants to keep away from Shiradi Ghat stretch of the national highway 48 because of its wretched condition, several streams that dot the Shiradi Ghat section of the Western Ghats with their foamy, milky flow, entice the people with their natural flows, to come to them again and again. They remain silent, be in their full flow as long as rains come and wither as the rains recede, without caring as to whether any one has enjoyed their beauty or not. The tourists, who get to visit these streams once, are too mesmerized to leave the place and once they leave, they would be longing to come back and wait for the next monsoon season to arrive.
These streams have a life span of just one rainy season. Some of them jump from tremendous heights while other smoothly and gently navigate through the ups and downs to then suddenly rush down the smooth slopes. Many tourists have been on a visit to the Ghat section, to provide a treat of sorts to their eyes and store their memories in their minds and cameras.
Mother Nature is in her full glow here. The breath-taking beauty of the streams was caught on camera by our photo-journalist Arun Uppinangady.
