The fort in Chitradurga is now well maintained than before. Security Guards are placed at most important locations. There are signboards requesting visitors not to litter the place.

It is raining here and every day I'm getting to see new kinds of moths. Only thing is that they're showing up in the night when there isn't much light to capture their beauty and nature's splendour at its best.

This photo again taken with flash, cropped and edited for color levels on GIMP.

Might need ID help with this one as well.

Cropped, levels adjusted on the GIMP.

Found this interesting moth downstairs near the car parking. It was terribly dark when I took this shot - had to use the flash. Observe the pattern on its back, at first sight it might look a bit bizarre.
