HTML5 : Responsive Image using CSS3

Responsive web design (RWD) provide an optimal viewing experience—easy reading and navigation with a minimum of resizing, panning, and scrolling—across a wide range of devices (from mobile phones to desktop computer monitors)

I was interested in creating responsive webpage image without use of Javascript,I found few interesting links and hence I am sharing it here.This page is created using the normal HTML5 and CSS3

Here JPG image is positoned relative to the screen.There are eight hotspots created on each animals.For each hotspots the dimensions are specified in <style> tag

<style>

 .hotspot {left: 7%;

       top: 11%;

       width: 20%;

       height: 26%;}

</style>

Hover/tap the hotspots over the image to show a general information of the hotspot and onclick on it will redirect to link page. In this case it will be redirected to Wikipedia webpage.

Uthumalai Sri Balasubramaniar Shrine

Salem is my second home place and I am happy to be part of such a wonderful piece of land !!!

Salem is famous for wide varieties but one among them which is close to my heart is the Swamy Sri Balasubramaniar Temple at Uthumalai, Seelanaickanpatti, Salem, Tamil Nadu. It is 4 km from Salem on the Seelanaickenpatti bypass road. The temple is  built on the mountain and looks wonderful.This amazing temple might be around 1000-2000 years old.

Metaled roads from the main entrance serves to reach the temple safely either by walk or using bike,car or mini van. There are steep curves, so heavy vehicles and buses can be avoided. The roads and the temple are well maintained by the Temple Trustee. Many people enjoy their walk & offering prayers to Lord Murugan .

The environment is so calm and amazing that it exempts me from this busy polluted & populated world :)

The aerial view from the temple will just keep me spellbound !!!

If any of you planning to visit Salem then this temple is must-watch place. See you soon !!!
