🚂Chooo chuk chuk chuk…It’s night and train to Gokarna is traveling at a certain speed that it almost looks like a continuous line to the outsiders.

Everyone was sound asleep and suddenly my alarm started off⏰. Eyes still shut, I can spot my phone due to its continuous ringing.

It’s 4:00 AM in the morning and I stopped the alarm.

Just an hour away from Gokarna, a beach paradise after months of planning, I sat on my berth and slowly opened my eyes👁️.

Frame: 5

Opened my eyes, only to get scared😵‍💫

Frame: 6

I saw a Ghost!!!

Frame: 7

Well no! I Mistook a blanket hanging from the upper berth for a ghost👻. If only I was less familiar with horror movies.

Frame: 8

I took a deep breath 😮‍💨and moved ahead with my day.

Frame: 9

Reaching Gokarna road, I found similar taxis waiting on the road and took one to leave for my stay🚗. I might have realized they are Taxis due to their proximity.

For the next half-an-hour, I was peeping out of my window taking in the beautiful scenery around. All along, there were parcels of farmlands enclosed in a series of palm trees🌴.

Frame: 11

After reaching the cafe, I freshened up and left to explore the town. 

Frame: 12

The streets look very antique with tiny old houses on both sides, and lanes look very symmetrical.

Frame: 13

🛕Temple architecture is very intricate which would have been overlooked if I did not observe(Pragnanz). 

Frame: 14

There was a long queue directed into the temple through closure created by connected ropes around the space🧑‍🤝‍🧑.

After darshan, I had lunch at Annadhana place. It is a huge dining hall with devotees continuously sitting down in long rows enclosing paths in between for volunteers to transfer and serve the food🍲.

Frame: 16

After lunch, I started my trek at Om beach🏖️.

Frame: 17

Sun was shining through the trees making random figures all the way (figure-ground)🌞🌳.

Frame: 18

I made my trek more entertaining trying to create a bouquet of similar flowers for myself💐.

Frame: 19

Halfway, I decided to take a break at a cliff near Om beach center. Due to the Om shaped shore, the scenery was very symmetrical. Sea and sky almost seemed to merge due to the proximity.

Frame: 20

It was a breathtaking view.

Frame: 21

I laid down on the rock to enjoy the sky view and waiting for the sun to set🌄. 

Frame: 22

I almost lost my track of time guessing the figures formed by clouds in the sky☁️. (figure-ground)

Frame: 23

Completed the rest of my trek covering private beaches (closure) that can be accessed only through trek or boat.

Frame: 24

I later 🛥️headed back to Om beach by boat. 

Frame: 25

🏮After a while, I saw the shore lit with cafes and fire (Pragnanz). 🌊The waves seem to be moving towards the shore as if it's their common fate.
