A Visit to 5000 yr old Hanuman Temple

It was a short trip that we had planned to go to Goravanahalli Mahalaxmi Temple few months back, but as we finished our darshan soon, we had lot of time, so we decided to visit another temple nearby to this temple. It was in a village called Kyathenahalli, 4 kms drive from entrance of Goravanahalli Mahalaxmi temple. The road is very bad but I didn’t find it stressful as my brother drove quite well and we reached this Anjaneya temple in Kyathenahalli. It is a very huge campus surrounded by lot of trees and it is a 5000 yrs old temple.

Once inside the temple, we saw this huge Anjaneya’s stone statue in garbha gruha. The specialty of this temple is, as told by the temple priest, that Lord Anjaneya faces directly opposite to Devarayana Durga’s Laxmi Narasimha Swamy. He also told us that it was built by Janamejaya at the beginning of Kaliyuga.

Next time, if you are planning to visit Laxmi Temple, then I would suggest try visiting this Anjaneya temple also! Here is a glimpse of the lord Hanuman of this temple for you.

Trip to Andaman!

This was our honeymoon trip photo from Andaman. Our guide took us to a hotel bit far from our resort where we stayed. I liked it, the ambience was nice and quite clean too. I felt the whole hotel was booked just for me, coz we were the only couple who dined that night there  as there were no one around we got a royal treatment there.

I had a great time being in Portblair; so much close to nature and sea…I love sea and the sound
of the waves, with no other noise around you…not even crowds near the beach! It’s such a great place to be there. Food was not so good for me…coz there was more of seafood, but my hubby enjoyed it as he loves seafood, but quite expensive.

Have got lots of photos.....but these two are my favorite ones.
