Thalakkavery - from here the the Cauvery river starts. 
People offer pooja to cauvery matha here


Near Thalakkavery temple there is a hilltop. 
On either sides of the hill you can see people arranging stones like this. 
This is also an offering by them

A pair of birds. They have their nests on the ground nearby only. 
These birds use stones to build their nests in the ground and the eggs resemble stones.
They make the sound "Ittittipooo"
