Tiny flower of hot chilli pepper - 'Krishna Jolokia', from Assam, India.
Krishna = black and Jolokia = Pepper.
From these very small purple flowers come the tsmall fruits which ripen from almost black to fiery red, and eventually on to green - though we have been getting some purple ones too, and yes, they are indeed hot :^)
Tbh - this was a little more difficult to photograph than I expected, or at least to get one that I was happy with .....
Krishna Cave Temple (also known as Mandapa of Krishna and Krishna Mandapam) is a monument at Mahabalipuram, on the Coromandel Coast of the Bay of Bengal, in the Kancheepuram district of the state of Tamil Nadu, India. It is an artificial rock-cut mandapa, and one of the Cave Temples of Mahabalipuram dedicated to Lord Krishna. Part of the Group of Monuments at Mahabalipuram, the temple is a UNESCO World Heritage Site inscribed in 1984. It is one of the many architecturally distinctive mandapas in Mahabalipuram with a shallow cave portico hewn into the rock face. Dating to the mid-seventh century, its excavated entry is seen with columns leading to a hall. Notable carvings inside are sculpted panels that bring out the myth of Krishna lifting the Govardhana Hill to protect the cowherds and gopis (milk maids) from heavy rains and floods – the "most poetic and endearing" Indian or Angkor sculpture-based representation of this legend – and there are also scenes of Krishna frolicking with the milk maids.
In Hindu art, Krishna is depicted as a shepherd boy playing the flute in the company of his beloved shepherdess Radha and other gopis.
Please excuse the quality: the photo was taken through a cell of a solid mesh that covers the altar like a theater curtain.

Krishna's Butterball is a giant natural rock perched on a hillside, seemingly in defiance of all laws of physics—it's a common sight to see visitors placing hands under the stone posing for pics, which looks as though they are holding it! The rock provides welcome shade if you dare to sit underneath it, and local kids have discovered that the slippery nearby hillside also makes a great natural slide.
Rise and shine with all your might!
Our 12375 Chennai Central-Asansol Express arrived at Krishna Canal Junction (KCC) before time, and waited for at least two hours here letting one train after another overtake us. We could finally arrive Vijayawada around an hour late.
But the wonderful atmosphere at KCC allowed me the chance to take some mesmerising photographs like this one here.
He enjoys the snow more than his brother, who went back to his Rucksack. I guess Krishna would have loved to stay for hours 😻
A giant rock ball that sits on a hillside almost toppling down. A common sight for the visitors to stand below and place their hands as if they were holding the giant rock.

Does anybody know who created the picture of Krishna and Christ at the top of this post? It’s all over the Internet, but I haven’t been able to identify the artist. I would love to honor the artist by name.
