I never expected that the day would raise for me with big surprise. My dad told me that today we are going to our native God's temple. Everyone in India have a native God other than the regular worshiping Gods. Particularly in south India, the Native God is their Native places, i.e from villages of India would be weird and their way of workship will also be weird. We started from home at morning 6'o clock,. because it would take time to reach the place and come back. It was a pleasent drive in the car, the highway drive is always fun. And in middle we had our breakfast in a highway restaurant, food was no too delicious, but it was ok for a highway restaurant.
Then the journey continued, trees on both side of the road, and was so nice to see,. the whether is also cloudy and cool. Finally we reached to the Goddess temple. But i really dont want to go to that temple, because the place around the temple was so dirty and there were sacrifices. It was more of a tribal worship. The place name is "Malmalayanoor" and the temple is called "Angala Parameswari temple". Usually the priest in regular temple will be pure vegetarian and will be so polite. But in that temple, priest would chop the head of Chicken and Goat for sacrifice. Soon we finished our worship and came out of that place. And we had pleanty of time left out on that day. So we to oue car to another place, this is a awesome journey to a very awesome place called "Thiruvannamalai" or aka "Tiruvannamalai". The drive to the place took some more time.
The above image is taken with my cell phone, so it may not be clear. But the beauty of the place is more than the one in picture. We first, some how managed to park our car and got down from car, there a pleasant breeze that appeared to be a welcome sign. There were so many foreigners
there admiring the beauty of the temple. And we went inside it was a great experience.
We had a great time inside the temple. We felt very divine inside the temple and after inishing the temple visit my dad thought of leaving home, but because of my compulsion, he agreed to visit Skand Ashram, which is in the hill thats behind the Arunachala temple. "Arunachala Temple" is the temple about which i am talking till now. We went to Ramana Ashram first because the passage to hill top is behind Ramana Ashram. We climbed the Hill and it went on and on to reach Skand Ashram which is located in the foot of Arunachala hill,.
The path went on,. and the scenery was great and fully we enjoyed the place, we reached the Ashram spent some time there and came back home with everlasting memories.
