While riding early morning from Narsipatnam to Lambasingi I stopped at a village for breakfast. There was a table set out outside a hut along the village road and an old man was making tea. I asked for a cup of tea and something to eat.
The old man pointed to the tea and then said something in his local language that I didn't understand. I made the sign for food and he turned to his wife who was standing close by. She pointed me to a bench outside their hut, asked me to sit down and went inside the hut.
After a few moments she emerged with a place of idlis and chutney which I enjoyed along with the tea.

After I was done I asked the old man how much I owed him and he replied with "5 rupees".

It is dedicated to Bhagvan Vitthala, an incarnation of ShriHari Vishnu. An idol of Vitthala was initially enshrined in here. Legend has it that Bhagvan found it to be too grand n went back to live in His humble home at Pandharpur.
