Health and Beauty Tips |
Eye Care:
1.One of the first places many people notice changes in their appearance is in the skin around the eyes.
2.This is due to the fact that the skin in this area is extremely thin and delicate making it especially vulnerable to damage.
3.Many of the changes to the skin in this area can be attributed to genetics and aging.
4.As we get older our bodies produce less collagen decreasing the skin’s suppleness; additionally, elastin fibers loose their elasticity decreasing the skin’s ability to regain its form.
5.Other factors contributing to the changes in the skin around the eye are environmental and include stress, sun exposure, as well as exposure to pollutants and other toxins.
6.The damage sustained by the skin around the eyes can manifest itself as fine lines and wrinkles, also know as crow’s feet, as well as dark circles and puffiness.
7.It is extremely important that we use preventative measures in protecting this vulnerable part of our faces, but for those of us who have not been historically diligent in this area.
8.we should use products for skin protection, as well as products specifically formulated to address our concerns.

The Vithala Temple is situated on the southern bank of the Tungabhadra River. The most outstanding of the religious edifices at Hampi, it can be reached from the west by walking on from Hampi Bazaar along the riverbank, or from the east through the Talarigattu Gateway. The ruins of the temple are a World Heritage monument. It is in a moderately good state of preservation. The temple's unimaginable sculptural work is a height of Vijayanagar Art. The outer pillars are known as the 'Musical Pillars' as they echo when banged, although this practice is now discouraged to avoid further dent. The temple also features a flamboyant
stone chariot in the temple courtyard containing an image of Garuda. The main temple was dedicated to Vishnu as Vithala. Facing east, the chamber of the god along with its axial 'mandapa' forms a long and low structural group, about 7.6 meters in height and 70 meters in length. The group comprises the open 'maha mandapa', a closed 'ardha-mandapa' with side-porches and a covered 'pradakshina-prakara' enclosing the 'antarala' and 'garbha griha'.The temple stands in a large rectangular enclosure. The three lofty Vijayanagara gopurams on the east, north and south sides are now dilapidated. Of these the south 'gopuram' is the most ornate. Along the
interior of the enclosing wall ran a pillared colonnade. The enclosed courtyard contains in the centre the god's sanctum with its axial 'mandapa' and around it the 'Amman' sanctum, the 'kalyana mandapa', an 'utsava mandapa', a hundred-pillared 'mandapa' and a stone 'ratha' (car). Originally there was a lofty 'kipa-stambha' (12.2 m high) in front of the east 'gopuram', but now it lies on the ground, broken in pieces.
