Library and grounds of United Theological College - Bangalore

The beautiful grounds of the UTC where Aunty and I went on a lovely warm morning....very well maintained. The purple-blue flowered trees are the Jacaranda trees.
The grounds and trees were so beautiful...One just felt like lingering there longer.

I took several shots of the library building...it is a very imposing building...I don't think my pictures do it justice.

Aunty Lilla and I went together, as I was interested in seeing some papers pertaining to our relative Ben Chandulal who baptised Sadhu Sunder Singh (the Christian Sadhu - or Holyman)who was a relatively unconventional Christian minister. He adheared to the Indian way of life and clothing but was much respected by all for his spiritual ways. Aunty Lilla wanted to donate some journals of hers. I also mentioned to the head librarian the writings of Zenobia Lewis Mayadas "A Tale of Three Continents" and she said they would love to have a copy.

We did not stay long as walking up the ramp to the Library was exercise enough for Aunty. However, I did make a mental note of returning there someday and enjoying their grounds.
