Dated : 3rd November 2019<br />
Crew : Madhu, Naga, Jagan, Ravi<br />
<br />
Chokhi Dhani is a place where the ambiance reflects the Rajasthani culture. We almost travelled for 3 hours in bus to reach the place. It is very far from the place where we are staying. First we reached Tambaram(bus fare - INR 22), then to Sriperubudhur(bus fare - INR - 39) and then to the Chokhi Dhani(bus fare - INR 15). Bus conductors will help to get you down near to the Chokhi Dhani. Another landmark is Rajya lakshmi Engineering college, which is on the way to Chokhi Dhani.<br />
<br />
But it is worth to travel for 3 hours.<br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-size: 15px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Chokhi Dhani, meaning ‘excellent village’. </span></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-size: 15px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Chokhi Dhani has been the mirror of Rajasthani culture since 1989. Started as part of ambiance for a restaurant, over the years it has evolved as a tasteful and authentic symbol of ethnic village life. There is a bevy of traditional entertainment – dancers, acrobats, snack stalls – as well as adventure park–like activities for kids to swing on, slide down and hide in. In addition, you can enjoy a tasty Rajasthani cuisine served with love and affection.</span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-size: 15px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Firstly they welcomed all the visitors by placing a Sindhoor on the forehead. We took the tickets at the reception and took some snaps.</span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-size: 15px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Without any time, we first visited the boating. It looks like a small fort type and a small boating arranged within around the fort. It is pedal type boat. And it will be exciting for the small kids.</span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-size: 15px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Later we visited the pure rajasthani village and welcomed us with the different type of huts/houses of those ages. And a man and woman, singing at the verandah and another womam, crushes the grains on rock -roll(prior to our grinding machines) and a small pottery arrangement, guides us how to make pots and a Makka Roti(Corn Roti) was given as snack.</span></span><br />

The proposal for a Museum in Madras was mooted by the Madras Literary Society in 1846 AD and Sir Henry Pottinger, the then Governor, obtained the sanction of the Court of Directors of the East India Company in London.<br />

<br />
On one fine day we planned to go to Kanchipuram. Initially we thought we should complete all the five main temples by lunch time and should reach the kanchi as early as possible. I remember we used to go to Kanchi by taking a bus at Adyar(which starts from Tambaram). But those bus services has not been running now. We went to the Sriperumbudhur and then took Kanchi buses. It is a 2-3 hours journey.<br />
There were so many autos available which provides a tour to the 5 temples for a charge of INR 300. But we resisted them and take on by self. First we visited the Ekambareshwar alayam, which is near.<br />
<br />

<b>Highlights:</b> One of the panchabootha sthalam's</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<b>Sthalapuranam</b><b>: </b>Ekambareswarar Temple (Ekambaranathar Temple) is a Hindu temple dedicated to the deity Shiva, located in the town of Kanchipuram in Tamil Nadu, India. It is significant to the Hindu sect of Saivism as one of the temples associated with the five elements, the Pancha Bhoota Stalas, and specifically the element of earth, or Prithvi. Shiva is worshiped as Ekambareswarar or Ekambaranathar, and is represented by the lingam, with his idol referred to as Prithvi lingam. His consort Parvati is depicted as Gowridevi Amman.<br />
The temple has six daily rituals at various times from 5:30 a.m. to 10 p.m., and twelve yearly festivals on its calendar. Panguni Uthiram festival celebrated for thirteen days during the Tamil month of Panguni (March - April) is the most prominent festival of the temple and the town.<br />
Legend has it that once Parvati, the consort of Shiva was cursed to become dark like Kali. She wanted to expatiate herself from the sin by doing penance under the temple's ancient Mango tree near Vegavathi river.[6] In order to test her devotion Shiva sent fire on her. Goddess Parvati prayed to her brother, Vishnu, for help. In order to save her, he took the Moon from Shiva's head and showed the rays which then cooled down the tree as well as Parvati. Shiva again sent the river Ganga (Ganges) to disrupt Parvati's penance. Parvati prayed to Ganga and convinced her that both of them were sisters and so should not harm her. Subsequently, Ganga did not disturb her penance and Parvati made a Shiva Linga out of sand to get united with Shiva. The God here came to be known as Ekambareswarar or "Lord of Mango Tree".<br />
<b><br /></b>
Then we visited the Kamakshi amman temple. Since my last visits, the temple has renovated very nice.<br />

<div dir="ltr">
<b>Sthalapuranam</b><b>: </b><br />
Kamakshi is the only Shakti shrine centered across all Shiva temples in Kanchipuram which do not have separate shrines for Amman.The mythology of Daksha yaga and Sati's self-immolation is the main theme in the origin of Shakti Peethas.<br />
Shakti Peethas are divine temples of Adiparashakti. The cause of the presence of Devi's presence is due to the falling of body parts of the corpse of Sati Devi. The naval part of Sati Devi's body is believed to have fallen here. There are 51 Shakti Peeth linking to the 51 alphabets in Sanskrit. There are also arguments that the old Kanchi temple is the Shakti peetha, where Sankaracharya has installed the Shri Chakra.<br />

<b>Sthalapuranam</b><b>: </b>Varadharaja Perumal Temple or Hastagiri or Attiyuran is a Hindu temple dedicated to Lord Vishnu located in the holy city of Kanchipuram, Tamil Nadu, India. It is one of the Divya Desams, the 108 temples of Vishnu believed to have been visited by the 12 poet saints, or Alwars. It is located in a suburb of Kanchipuram known as the Vishnu Kanchi that is a home for many famous Vishnu temples. One of the greatest Hindu scholars of Vaishnava VisishtAdvaita philosophy, Ramanuja is believed to have resided in this temple. The temple along with Ekambareswarar Temple and Kamakshi Amman Temple in Kanchipuram is popularly known as Mumurtivasam (abode of trio), while Srirangam is referred to as: ‘Koil’ (meaning: "temple") and Tirupati as:‘Malai’ (Meaning: "hill"). Among the Divya Desams, Kanchipuram Varadaraja Perumal temple is known as: ‘Perumal Koil’. This is one of the most sacred places for Vaishnavites. The fourth of the Divya Desams that completes this series is Melukote--which is known as Thirunarayanapuram. Vaishnavites believe that visiting all four places without a break will guarantee one a place in paramapadam.</div>

We booked a room in the down hill. All the rooms check in time will be 4.00 PM from booked date to next day 2.00 PM(22 hours).<br />

<span style="font-family: georgia, times new roman, serif;">It is believed that the place was known for constant food distribution (free feeding) by the benevolent people of the locality and that therefore the place was called by the name Annavaram(annam means food in Telugu). Another version is that because the presiding deity of the place blesses the devotees with anina varam (pronounced or wanted boon), the place is called Annavaram.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: georgia, times new roman, serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: georgia, times new roman, serif;"> The hillock by the side of the village is considered to be very sacred. Meruvu, the lord of the hills and his consort Menaka did great penance and begot two sons by the grace of Lord Vishnu. One was named Bhadra and the other Ratnakar. Bhadra pleased Lord Vishnu with his devotion and penance and with his grace became Bhadrachalam on which Lord Sri Rama had permanently settled. Ratnakara desired to emulate his brother and succeeded in pleasing Lord Vishnu by his penance to settle on him as Veera Venkata Satyanarayanaswamy, Ratnakara remaining as Ratnagiri (hill).</span></div>

Dakshinachitra is one in my list for so long, finally it happens to visit the place.<br />
<br />
Dakshinachitra is a place where group of different culture houses was there in those times. With the help of Madras Craft Foundation(MCF), the 10 acres land is allotted for Dakshinachitra by Government of Tamil Nadu and the same houses were re-constructed with the permission of house owners.<br />

We reached Dakshinachitra at around 3.30 PM. First, we visited the Tamil Nadu chettiyars, how the houses were there in those days. Then Hindu Agriculturist and then Ambur and brahmin houses. Then we visited the Kerala Kottayum Christian houses, manavu houses. Later, we visited Andhra Pradesh Ikkat house and chuttillu.<br />
Due to less time, we missed few more, but covered all the houses.<br />
<br />
This will be good, if the present generation kids have not seen her grand-grandfather/grandmother houses. Since, 80's and 90's kids were already know, this will helpful for the 20th generation kids.<br />

We reached the temple by around 8.30 AM. We put the luggage's into cloak rooms and went to Free Darsahanam line. It took 2 hours for the Darshanam. We have been sent to one room, and provided breakfast within the temple queue like in Tirupathi. Finally the mallikarjuna's darshanam has been successfully done. We came out and enquired about the Sight seeing package on hills. But there are no such packages as mentioned in the APSRTC site. We booked an auto for 100 rupees per head and visited the Sakshi Ganapathi, Hatakeshwaram, Phaladhara, Sikharam etc., In all the places, it resembles the Tirupathi.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Dated : 19th April, 2019</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Crew : Madhu and Myself</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">In the early morning, we packed the bags and started the Nava Nandhi's trip. We enquired the auto walas, and they are charging 1000 rupees for the nava nandhi's. We denied and started on our way.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">For Nava nandhi's, first we need to visit the Uma Maheswar temple near Srinvas Center and there is an order to visit the Nava Nandhi's. The First 3 Nandhi's (Pradhama Nanadhi, Naga Nanadhi, Soma Nandhi) are in Nandyal only. We completed the 3 Nandhi's by the Share Auto's only. The next 2 nandhi's are on the way to Maha Nandhi. There are no direct auto's to the 4th and 5th Nandhi's. Few people suggested, first go to Omkar and there are few auto's available to the 4th and 5th Nandhi. But we get down in the Kothapalli, and then started walking towards the kadamala kaalva which is 8 km from Kothapalli. With the villager's help, I reached first upto Kadamala Kaavala on bike. He gave lift for only 1 person. I am waiting at the village entrance. I forgot that he didn't have mobile and my mobile was also on the airplane mode. It has been 2 hours waiting for him. I have been chit chatting with the local people, he inquired about me and also said, why you left him. I don't have an answer. Sometimes, I don.t think in long run. Then I thought, when you are coming for a trip, never leave another person. Luckily he got my number and called my watch(phone), which I kept for safe side. By the time he called, he reached 5th Nandhi. He inquired about me at the 4th Nandhi Temple, but nobody had said that no one has visited. Then he started to the 5th Nandhi. I walked for 3 km in the sun and finally reached. I was fully exhausted after reaching 5th Nandhi. From there, one of the devotee helped to drop us at Thimmavaram and then we took auto to Bukkapuram. From there we took another auto to Maha nandhi. There are 3 nandhi's within maha nandhi itself. We completed our dinner and made darshanam too. Actually we missed the order, first we visited Maha Nanadhi, where we should visit Garuda Nandhi. After visiting Maha Nandi, I took a snap for sometime in the temple premises and started to the Garuda Nandi. The another temple is there within the Maha Nandhi temple. Again we went to Mahanandhi and visited the 8th Nandi. We waited for around 2 hours for the bus. Auto's are not coming for share for 2 people. Finally, one auto dropped us at the 9th Nandi. we walked on the paddy fields to reach last nandi(Surya Nandi). There we came to know that the Nava Nandi's should be completed between the sun rise and sun set. We started to the Nandyal to visit the final destination Uma Maheswar temple, where we started first before nava nandi's. The thing we have completed all this within the sun set. And planning for the next destination.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">We thought that, we will start to Srisailam at late hours without taking the room and planned to go for a movie in the mean time. First we will inquire in the bus stand for the last bus and then plan accordingly. But when we enquired, the last bus to Srisailam is 3.30 PM. Late nights, no bus will be allowed on the Ghat roads as it will cause disturbance to the wild animals of Nalamalla forest. Instead of waiting in Nandyal, we started to Dornal via Athamakuru, where the buses will stop at nights(entrance of Nalamalla Forest) and start early in the morning to Srisailam. At round, 12'o clock, we knocked the door for the Srisailam Cottage present in Dornal, luckily we handed the key and asked us to stay. He enquired on the where abouts and kept my ID card. By God's grace, we stayed in the Dornal for the night.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Since the TN elections and Good Friday falling sequentially on this week, we have 4 days of free time to plan for the trip. Even though,we have planned little bit prior, we didn't end up with the possible plan, as there is no direct transportation to few places(Srisailam).</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Since there are no direct trains to Srisailam, we started the trip from nearest destination, we booked a bus ticket to the Jammalamadugu, which is the nearest station to our first destination, Gandikota)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">We have started from office little early to catch the bus at Madhavaram Bus Stand(Bus is at 7 PM). We followed the safe route without struck up in the traffic thinking there will be huge traffic. We reached Thiruvanmiyur Station and reached Perambur(There is direct train at 5:03PM) and then took auto(charges - 15), from there in the same auto he dropped at Madhavaram Local Bus stand(which is the incorrect destination). Be clear with the auto driver on the Madhavaram Bus Stand. Finally we reached the bus stand 5 min prior to our bus time. Have your dinner before boarding the bus, as the cost of the tiffin where bus stops at rest point at the Chennai outskirts, is costly.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">We reached Jammalamadugu Bus stand by 5 AM early morning. There was a sulabh complex, near the bus stand and completed our mundane's. The first bus to the Gandikota starts at 5:30 AM. It is an one hour drive. And the fort is open all the time.If you have own vehicle, you can reach at any time.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">We have completed all the places in 1.5 hours and got ready in the nearby running water. There was a return bus at 10 AM. Luckily, some one have dropped us in the Jammalamadugu Bus Stand.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">From Jammamadugu bus stand, we reached kolimigundla(bus fare - 30)(around 40 km), and then to Belum Caves(5 km). All the buses from Tadipatri, will touch kolimigundla depo and reach belum caves. It will take 2 hours to reach belum caves from Jammalamadugu.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Kolimigundla is a small village, and cost of living is very low. We drank buttermilk at the near bus stand and gave 20 rupees and he return 10 rupees back.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">This cave system was formed over the course of tens of thousands of years by the constant flow of underground water. The cave system reaches its deepest point ( 46 m (151 ft) from entrance level) at the point known as Pataalaganga.In Telugu language, it is called Belum Guhalu. Belum Caves have a length of 3,229 m (10,593.8 ft), making them the second largest caves on the Indian Subcontinent after the Krem Liat Prah caves in Meghalaya. It is one of the centrally protected Monuments of National Importance.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Belum came to scientific attention in 1884 by a British surveyor, Robert Bruce Foote and from 1982 to 1984, a team of German speleologists headed by H. Daniel Gebauer conducted a detailed exploration of the caves. Thereafter in 1988, the state government declared the site protected, and Andhra Pradesh Tourism Development Corporation (APTDC) developed the caves as a tourist attraction in February 2002. Today, 3.5 km (2.2 mi) of the caves have been successfully explored, though only 1.5 km (0.9 mi) is accessible to visitors. There are 16 different pathways, including the main entrance and there are deposits of quartz in the caves. The caves consist of black limestone.</span><br />

This temple was constructed by King Harihara Bukka Raya of the Sangama Dynasty of the Vijayanagara Empire in the 15th century. It was built according to Vaishnavaite traditions.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">One story of the site's origin is as follows: The sage Agastya wanted to build a temple for Lord Venkateswara on this site. However, the statue that was made could not be installed as the toe nail of the idol got broken. The sage was upset over this and performed a penance for Shiva. When Shiva appeared, he said the place suits Shiva better as it resembles Kailash. Agastya then requested Shiva to give the devotees a Parvathi Goddess as Lord Uma Maheswara in a single stone, which Shiva obliged.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">A second story is as follows: Chitteppa, a devotee of Shiva, was worshiping Shiva and Shiva appeared to him as a tiger. Chitteppa understood that it was Lord Shiva in tiger form, and shouted Neganti Shivanu ne kanti (meaning: I saw Shiva I saw), and danced with joy. There is a cave called Chitteppa nearby. Sri Yaganti Uma Maheswara Temple is one of the few temples patronized by one of the great dynasties of India. Every year Maha Shivaratri is celebrated and a large number of devotees from all over Andhra Pradesh visit. Shiva, Parvati and Nandi are the main deities in this temple.This temple is 14 km away from Banaganipalli in kurnool dt. The saint lord Veerabrahmendra swami stayed here for some time and wrote Kalagnanam.</span><br />

<b>Sthalapuranam</b><b>:</b><br />
The temple was built by the Ganga dynasty king Anantavarman Chodaganga in the 12th century CE, as suggested by the Kendupatna copper-plate inscription of his descendant Narasimhadeva II. Anantavarman was originally a Shaivite, and became a Vaishnavite sometime after he conquered the Utkala region (in which the temple is located) in 1112 CE. A 1134-1135 CE inscription records his donation to the temple. Therefore, the temple construction must have started sometime after 1112 CE.<br />
<br />
<br />
According to a story in the temple chronicles, it was founded by Anangabhima-deva II: different chronicles variously mention the year of construction as 1196, 1197, 1205, 1216, or 1226. This suggests that the temple's construction was completed or that the temple was renovated during the reign of Anantavarman's son Anangabhima.[6] The temple complex was further developed during the reigns of the subsequent kings, including those of the Ganga dynasty and the Suryvamshi (Gajapati) dynasty.<br />

Konark Sun Temple is a 13th-century CE sun temple at Konark about 35 kilometres (22 mi) northeast from Puri on the coastline of Odisha, India. The temple is attributed to king Narasingha deva I of the Eastern Ganga Dynasty about 1250 CE.<br />
<br />
<br />
Dedicated to the Hindu 'god Surya, what remains of the temple complex has the appearance of a 100-foot (30 m) high chariot with immense wheels and horses, all carved from stone. Once over 200 feet (61 m) high, much of the temple is now in ruins, in particular the large shikara tower over the sanctuary; at one time this rose much higher than the mandapa that remains. The structures and elements that have survived are famed for their intricate artwork, iconography, and themes, including erotic kama and mithuna scenes. Also called the Surya Devalaya, it is a classic illustration of the Odisha style of Architecture or Kalinga Architecture<br />

<b>Sthalapuranam</b><b>: </b><br />
It is one of the ancient and all among two sun God temples in our Country. According to Padmapuranam , Sage Kasyapa installed the Idol of Surya at Arasavalli for the Welfare of mankind . Therefore , the Surya is of Kasyapasa Gotra . He is also termed as planetary King . According to the ' Sthalapuranam ' of the temple, Lord Devendra found this temple and installed the existing idol of the sun God commonly known as Lord suryanarayana Swamy Varu under the following circumstances.<br />
<br />
Once Lord Devendra , Ignoring the words of Dwarapalaka Nandi , attempted to force his entry for Darshan of Sri Rudrakoteswara Swamy varu at an untimely hour when Lord siva was along with his consort . The Dwarapalaka Nandi in the discharge of his duties kicked the intruder . Thus kicked and injured by the Devine attendent Indra fell down senseless. And in his unconscious state Indra dreamt that he would be relieved of his pain of injury in his chest caused by Nandi if he had built a temple and install an Idol of the Sun God . After regaining his consciousness, he remembered what he dreamt .<br />

<b><br /></b>
Kurma Narayana, one of the avatars of the Hindu deity Vishnu.<br />
During the reign of king Swetha Chakravarthi, this area was referred to as Swetha Giri. Swetha Chakravarthi's wife Vishnu Priya was a devotee of Vishnu. When she was observing a fast on an Ekadashi day, Swetha Chakravarthi approached her with the intention of making love. When she refused, saying the time was not ideal, the king became adamant. She prayed to Vishnu, who created a stream of water, separating the couple. Swetha Chakravarthi was carried away in the ensuing flood and Vishnu Priya followed him to the hilly terrains of Swetha Giri. The sage Narada initiated an upadesam of the Kurma Narayana mantra and asked the king to pray to Vishnu using it. By the time Vishnu appeared in the form of the Kurma (tortoise) avatar, the king's health had deteriorated. Vishnu then made his Sudarshana Chakra make an impression in the nearby land, forming a lake. Swetha Chakravarthi bathed in the lake and regained his health, after which it was referred to as Swetha Pushkarani. Upon the king's request, Vishnu manifested as the idol of Kurmanatha. According to the Padma Purana, Brahma officiated the celestial rituals and consecrated the idol with Gopala Yantra. Vishnu is worshipped as Kurmanatha Swamy or Kurma Narayana, along with his consort Lakshmi, who is referred to as Kurmanayaki.<br />
<br />
<br />
Later, a tribal king visited the Swetha Pushkarani and was impressed with it. After learning about the story of its origin from Swetha Chakravarthi, the tribal king constructed a tank around the lake and began worshipping the deity regularly. The tribal king used to stay in Sage Sampangi's monastery, which was situated in the Western side of the temple. Upon the king's request, the idol of the deity started facing west. The sage Durvasa visited the temple later with his disciples; the event of his arrival was considered significant. Rama's sons Lava and Kusha were said to have worshipped Vishnu as Kurmanatha in Srikurmam. In Dwapara Yuga, Balarama visited the temple and was denied entry by Bhairava, who was serving as the temple's Kshetrapala (guardian deity). Infuriated, Balarama threw Bhairava away from the temple premises. Kurmanatha came to know this and gave Balarama permission to enter the temple. Balarama, in resentment, cursed that Srikurmam would be the only temple where Vishnu would be worshipped in the form of Kurma Narayana. Legends also say that upon Vishnu's request, Anjaneya agreed to guard the temple.<br />

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif";">Mamallapuram was one of two major port cities by the 7th century within the Pallava kingdom. Along with economic prosperity, it became a center of a group of battle monuments carved out of rock. These are dated to the 7th and 8th centuries: rathas (temples in the form of chariots), mandapas (cave sanctuaries), giant open-air rock reliefs such as the famous Descent of the Ganges, and the Shore Temple dedicated to Shiva, Durga, Vishnu, Krishna and others. The contemporary town plan was established by the British Raj in 1827.</span><br>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Avani is a place of great antiquity.
According to the ASI, an inscription here dated 399 A.D. refers to it. Later
inscriptions call it the "</span><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Gaya</span><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> of the
south". Legend has it that Avani was the abode of the Hindu saint </span><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Valmiki</span><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> (author
of the epic </span><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Ramayana</span><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">) and that the Hindu god Rama visited Avani during his
return to </span><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Ayodhya</span><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> from </span><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Lanka</span><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">. According to the legend, Rama's sons </span><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Lava</span><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> and </span><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Kusha</span><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> were born
here on an existing hill (called "Lava-Kusha betta" in native
Kannada) a short distance from the temple complex.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">According to the art historian
Madhusudan Dhaky, Nolamba temple constructions exist in the region historically
known as "Nolambavadi", a region to the east of Gangavadi (a region
in south Karnataka) but west of Andhradesa (modern Andhra Pradesh). He dates
the temple to the early 10th century. According to the art historian James
Harle, the earliest structure within the walled enclosure (<i>prakara</i>) may
actually be what is known as the Shatrugnalineshwara shrine (or
"Shatrugneshvara") and was built by the </span><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Western Ganga dynasty</span><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> of </span><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Talakad</span><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> (based on an Ganga inscription on the premises). This was
soon followed by the Lakshmanalingeshwara shrine. According to Harle, this is
the earliest example of a group of shrines with an outer wall enclosure in the
Karnataka state.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Among the temples of Talakadu, the
Pathaleshwara, Maruleshwara, Arkeshwara, Vaidyanatheshwara and Mallikarjuna
temples, the five Lingas believed to represent the five faces of Shiva, form
the Pancha pathi and have become famous. In honour of these five Shiva temples,
a fair is held once every 12 years called <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panchalinga_Darshana" title="Panchalinga Darshana"><span style="color: windowtext; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none;">Panchalinga Darshana</span></a>, last held in 2009.
The Panchalinga Darshana is held on a new moon day in the month of Karthika
when two stars conjoin, the stars of Khuha Yoga and Vishaka. On this day,
tradition has it that pilgrims should first bathe in the Gokarna theertha,
worship Gokarneswara and Chandikadevi, and then worship Vaidyeshwara, and then
bathe in the northern eastern southern and western stretches of the Kaveri and
then worship Arkeshwara, Pataleshwara, Maraleshwara and Mallikarjuna, returning
to Vaidyeshwara after each worship, finally worship Kirtinarayana and conclude
the pilgrimage in one day.</span></div>

Ramanujacharya during his sojourn in Karnataka (also called Melnadu),
established five Vishnu temples of Lord Narayana known as Pancha Narayana
Kshetrams. Talakadu is one of the Pancha Narayana Kshetrams where the Keerthi
Narayana temple was established and the presiding Deity in this temple is
Keerthi Narayana.</span></div>

Dated : 25th and 26th of Nov 2017<br />
Crew : Tagit QA Team<br />
<br />
The so long trip by the QA team has finally happened with the Yelagiri Hills. We booked a tempo and planned to leave on Saturday by 7 AM. We started with the crew and took the Highway to Yelagiri by the route Sriperambudur, Vellore, Ambur and finally Yelagiri. We had a coffee break at the Vellore. It was awesome. Vellore is famous for the "Lorry body building" & Finished Leather goods. On the way, we have time passed by sharing the experiences of "How you come to choose the Testing as your career?" It was a nice to hear their background before coming to Tagit. Then on the way we had lunch at Ambur. Ambur is famous for Biryani. The recipe came to the place by 1890. Finally we reached the Yelagiri.<br />

Also known as "Dakshina
Kashi (Kashi of the South), Antarvedi, is an important pilgrim centre in
the East Godavari district of Andhra Pradesh state in India, situated
at the interior part at East coast. Lord Brahma, in order to get freed
from the sins he had committed against Lord Sankara, had performed
Rudrayaga and installed Lord Neela kantheswara there. As that place was
made a stage or "Vedik" to perform the Yagam, it was named as
"ANTARVEDI" It is a small village in Sakhinetipalle Mandal which is
located close to Narsapur near the Bay of Bengal Coast and Vashishtha
River. This river is said to have been brought by Maharishi Vashishtha,
one of the Sapthrishis(seven great sages) of Hindu Mythology. It draws
people from far off places throughout the year because of its unique
rarity: the confluence or mergence of Bay of Bengal and Vashishtha
River, a tributary of River Godavari. The place of confluence where the
mighty ocean Bay of Bengal meets the Vashishtha River is called the
"Sapta Sagara Sangam Pradesam" and also as "Anna Chelli Gattu". It is popularly believed that the Tretha Yugam
episode of Ksheera Sagara Mathanam took place here.</div>
<div style="position: relative; top: -20px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="position: relative; top: -20px;">
The temple is called as an island temple because of its confluence. This
temple is among the rarities as the main Deity i.e. Lord Sri Lakshmi
Narasimha Swamy(one of the ten incarnations of Lord Vishnu) who faces
towards West instead of East (usual direction of other temples in India)
constructed between the 15th and 16th centuries. This is 32 kshetra of
108 Narashima kshetrams. It is a temple of 5 storeyed Vimana Gopuram. </div>

The munnar plan was unplanned in my tight schedule. But I took that, I should take a break and refresh myself.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
We started from Chennai at 8:30 PM by SRS Travel bus. Hope they came on the way by Madhurai, Dindugal, Palani. It is 5 in the early morning when we reach Palani.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
The bus stopped at Marayur for an half an hour and allowed us to complete our mundane. From there, the ride was superb.<br />

We step down in Munnar by around 8. We refreshed near by and waiting
to start the trip. In the mid, some one interrupted our discussion. We
looked back. He introduced himself came a tour guide map in hand. We cut
his conversation. But he insisted to hear and let him complete his
conversation.<br />
<br />
We heard till end, he come up with a
decent fair for the trip(Mattupatty
direction). We started the tour in his Auto.<br />
First we directed him
to the nearby hotel for breakfast, he left us at the Sarvana Bhavan.
Guys, really don't miss the food at the hotel. It is really delicious.<br />
By
the time we start it is almost 11. He like to change the plan if you
are staying one more day. He come up with the first day to complete the
Cochin Direction.</div>

It is a vague plan without any precautions. But I enjoyed a lot for the trek. My intention is to visit a temple with a trek. Later I found, my decision was not bad.<br />
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
We have started on the Saturday morning to catch the Chennai Exp(12164), where we could reach to Cuddapah, nearest to reach nearby city. Only 4 trains available to reach Cuddapah from Chennai.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
But we missed it. Later started by 8:30 in bus from CMBT. Luckily we got the INDRA bus. The fare is around 470 INR. And reached Cuddapah by 3 PM.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br />
One could see the following places on the way. </div>
<div dir="ltr">
Bhaktha Kannappa Birth place<br />
Kadapa Central Jail<br />
Vontimitta - Sri Ram's temple</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
There were no direct buses to reach Jammalamadugu. So catches Proddatur bus, it is 1.5 hrs journey. And catches another bus to reach Jammalamadugu, it is only 35 min journey. </div>
<div dir="ltr">
A nearby road one can found the direct bus to reach Gandikota. As by the time we reach Gandikota(6:45 PM) the light got failed, we hardly can view the Canyon. That is the last bus for the day, so we completed sight seeing in 20 min and returned.</div>

<br />
<u><b>Sthalapuranam:</b></u> (Source : Wiki)<u><b><br /></b></u><br />
Gandikota fort was ruled by the Mikkilineni dynasty. <br />
In the year 1350 A.D. the <b>Mikkilineni King Rama Naidu</b>, who did not have sons, got his only daughter married to <b>Pemmasani Kumara Thimma Naidu</b>. He was the son of Rama Naidu's
brother-in-law and was the king of Bellamkonda in Guntur District. Rama
Naidu then made Pemmasani Kumara Thimma Naidu as the ruler of Gandikota.
Since then Gandikota was ruled by the Pemmasani rulers.<br />
Gandikota now came into the hands of the Pemmasani rulers from the ancient Mikkilineni royal family. <b>Raja Pemmasani Kumara Thimma Naidu</b>
was the first king of Pemmasani clan and during his period, few
developmental activities took place. The original fort was strengthened
and the new forts at <b>Jammala Madugu, Vajrakarur, Kamalapuram, Tadipatri</b>
etc were also built. The forts built by Pemmasani Kumara Thimma Naidu
were more lavish and striking that he was said to be contemporary form
of the Vijayanagar king Bukkaraya. (I.e. around 1350 A.D.). Another
member from the Naidu family, Dharma Naidu was the General of Proudha
Deva Raya (or Devaraya II), the son of Vijaya Bukkaraya. Another Thimma
Naidu defeated the Bahamani sultan Ahmed Shah in the battle of
Kalubarige in 1420 A.D. There was yet another Thimma Naidu, during the
times of Sri Krishna Deva Raya, who was a great warrior. He was
well-versed in capturing the forts of Udayagiri, Addanki, Kondapalli,
Rajahmundry and Cuttak.<br />
<b>Pemmasani Ramalinga Naidu</b> who was appointed by Krishna Deva
Raya as the supreme commander of the Vijayanagar army was the hero of
the famous 'Battle of Raichur'. During this battle Ramalinga Naidu
almost massacred the armies of Bahmani Sultans were had to retire from
the battle. Ramalinga Naidu was said to be a very good-looking person
and many poets of his era wrote poems in praise of him. Ramalinga Naidu
was the man behind the construction of the famous <b>Ramalingeswara temple in Tadipatri</b>.<br />
Next Naidu in the line was <b>Bangaru Thimma Naidu</b> who gave
shelter to Aliya Rama Raya, the son-in-law of Krishna Deva Raya. Salakam
Thimmayya dethroned Aliya Rama Raya and declared himself as the king
with the help of the sultans. Bangaru Thimma Naidu defeated the combined
armies of the Bahamanis and Salakam Thimmayya. Bangaru Thimma Naidu
made Aliya Rama Raya as the king and gave him back the Vijayanagar
throne. Thus, another valorous hero of Naidu clan became a folk hero and
was entitled as 'Bangaru Thimma Raju'.<br />
After the fall of Vijayanagar Empire, the capital was shifted to
Penukonda and Chandragiri was made the second capital. This second
capital was constructed by Sri Ranga Raya with the support and guidance
of Raja Bojja Thimma Naidu.<br />
Eventually, <b>Raja Pemmasani Chinna Thimma Naidu</b> was the last king of Gandikota. He was, entitled as "<b>Vetaru Tuniyala Meti Vaziru</b>"
in which "Vetu" means the stroke of the sword, "Aru tuniyalu" is six
pieces. It is said that Chinna Thimma Naidu was so powerful that in the
battle he could cut off a horseman's head along with that of the horse
with a single stroke of his sword, hence the title. After being ruled
gloriously for centuries and despite holding on valiantly for many
months, the fort went into the hands of Muslim Turkic invaders from
Golconda in the 17th century. The Golconda armies attacked Gandikota
around 1650 A.D., under the command of Mir Jumla. Mir Jumla failed to
take the fort even after months of seize. Finally, with the advice of <b>Podili Linganna,</b> a minister of Naidu's kingdom, Mir Jumla got Thimma Naidu poisoned and killed him.<br />
Years later, somewhere in 18th century, the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maratha_Empire" title="Maratha Empire">Marathas</a>
became the prime power in India, including the deccan region of
Rayalaseema and Telangana. This made the people create stories like
"Bala Nagamma Katha" that relieved them to a certain extent. The story
was about Bala Nagamma, the princess of Gandikota who married the prince
of Panagallu in Nalgonda. Bala Nagamma being kidnapped by a wicked
Maratha 'mantrik', the hardships she suffered in his hands for many
years, and finally a happy ending to the story by the Maratha getting
killed by Bala Nagamma's son, was the content of the story.<br />
A century later, this fort was conquered by Hyder Ali of Mysore and eventually went into the hands of the British.<br />

It is one the good, very scary trek. The temple situated on the tip of the peak and need to do pradikshana around Temple is very scary one.

By the time, I am completely ran out of my strength but not the belief. I couldn't find the way to Pavana Narasimha temple, so my inability left to the god only. And I heard one should start from the Pavana Nara Simha temple and then the main temple. So I thought I should complete the trip in the next time. This is the second time, where I couldn't complete my planned trip. </div>
<div dir="ltr">
From there we returned to Chennai. It <u>took</u> almost 12 hours to reach. </div>

Crew : Madhu, Guru and Me</p>
<p dir="ltr">After completing our mundane on Saturday, we have started to the Tirupathi. Due to we are not aware of the place and route, we decided to go to Tirupathi first and then we could start to Nagalapuram. But one can directly catch the bus from Chennai to Nagalapuram by taking Tirupathi bus. It is the half way between these cities. </p>
<p dir="ltr">In the eastern ghats range, it is one of the nearest to the Chennai for trekking. This trek is more suitable for the first timers. Not too slope and safest way.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Early morning we started from Tirupathi and reached Pichatur. It is around 39 km distance. We reached by 10 AM. From there lone can take the Sri Kalahasthi bus and get down in ARAI Village. It is the starting point for the trekkers. Be aware that we should ask people ARAI Falls instead of Nagalapuram water falls as there is a town with the same name. But it is not for the trekkers.</p>
<p dir="ltr">First you reach the Dan reservoir which is 3km from the ARAI village. We went by walk all the way and from there you will enter into the forest area. <br>
First Water Lake: You could see the water running down all the way your trek. One can reach first mile stone in 40 - 60 min.</p>
<p dir="ltr">As we missed in the mid way, 2 hours have wasted. There is a green arrow mark after the first lake. </p>
<p dir="ltr">Second Water Lake : This will take another 1 hr.</p>
<p dir="ltr">It is cumbersome for the first time trekkers going behind this point. As we ran out of time, we return from the second lake. </p>
<p dir="ltr"><b>Nagalapuram Trekking point</b><br>
<b>Timings :</b><br>
One day trek, start before 10 AM<br>
For the Night Stayers, Anytime. <br>
<b>Ticket Fare :</b> No entry fee, but it costs if you take guide for food and stay. <br>
<b>How to Reach: </b>Buses available from Chennai.<br>
<b>Nearest Place</b> : Pichatur, Nagalapuram, ARAI villages<br>
<b>Best time to Visit: </b>After rainy season. <br>
<b>Duration:</b> 3 - 6 hours<br>
<b>Highlights:</b> Suitable for Tent houses and Night stays along with Cooking. <br>
Rubber tubes available for non swimmers<br>
<b>Precautions</b> : It is very easy to miss the route. Better always stay near to the running water for without missing out.</p>
<p dir="ltr">It is better to stay away from water for non swimmers, as one of the IIT,  Madras guy drowned in the lake.</p>
