At the temple in Hampi, we got to play with a cute little elephant named Lakshmi. We had read about her in the Lonely Planet and weren’t really expecting to find her, but when we arrived, sure enough, there she was! In exchange for a 10 rupee note, she gave you a blessing on your head. We hear that if you come by the temple early enough at 7am, you can see her taking a bath in the river! But we didn’t come by early enough unfortunately.
