Ancient Tamarind trees and Temples

In India there is so much history, that many things of historical importance would be on an average 1000 years old. But tamarind trees close to 1000 years. That would be something. Here is a link to an interesting story about such tamarind trees. I will visit the place when I get the chance.

Vimala and Babu went to a temple near Hospet in North Karnataka that was not so old. The temple was apparently destroyed in bits by Aurangazeb, last of those Moghul emperors. The stone carvings are very fine and extraordinary.
