Ayyanapalya (Arali Katte) is a rural Karnataka “sacred rest” spot centered on a large banyan (arali) and stone seating platform. Photograph the tree’s canopy, weathered textures, and local street-village context—especially when warm morning light filters through leaves. Early mornings suit calmer activity; midday can feel harsh and bright.
