Laxmi Tek Belgaum in 1900 and now

In an endeavor to keep Belgaumites in tune with history and its historical era and pictures, here is another one.

The old photo is shared by Sahir Kittur and the colored one taken in 2001 by Subhash Photos.

The question is both the photos of the same Laxmi tek Temple complex.

According to me they both are the same. And I have confirmed the same with some elders and they agree with my thought.

The B/W photo has been taken in 1900 and the colored photo in 2001 that’s 101 years later.

This is great piece of history we all should save.

Your thoughts on the same are welcome, if anyone could just add some more bits of history to this.
