A Journey to Tiruvannamalai the photocollection

Thiruvannamalai is a spiritual heaven in south India which attracts everyone who seeks to be self realization. The place is so divine and lot of people even from other countries visits Thiruvannamali. Thiruvannamalai aka Tiruvannamalai aka Arunachala Hill has several ashrams located around the hill. Arunachala temple (temple of lord shiva) is located near the hill, and Ramana Ashram of Ramana Maharishi, Yogi Ramsurat Kumar Ashram, Sheshadri Swami Ashram are the other famous places located around the Arunachala hill. A road around the
Tiruvannamalai hill covering 16 Km distance is also famous for a sacred practice called “Girivalam”. It is believed that people who circulate around the hill on full moon day through this road will get their needs satisfied. And once in a year at December full moon day is celebrated as “Karthigai Deepam”. At that day many people gather in Tiruvannamalai and they light a huge Ghee lamp in top of the hill. I have the habit of going to this place regularly not only because I am spiritual but also there is for sure some force that exists in this place that makes the mind peaceful and calm. The below is a video that I have created with all the photographs I took in the hill and in the places around the hill. I have tried a little narration in the video. The 1st video is the recent video that had been covered in the trip on Dec 6, 7th of 2008 and the second video is the photo collection before 5 years.
