It was a sunny March afternoon in 2023 when we first visited Adiyogi statue at Chikkaballapur. It was an impromptu visit as we were at Nandi Hills. Despite being under construction, the place was buzzing with people taking pictures and videos under the sun. It felt more like a tourist attraction, and the connection we usually seek was somehow missing. We left, thinking perhaps this wasn’t our kind of place.
