Some destinations are rich in culture and uniqueness with fascinating history and vibrant traditions. Such places remain in our hearts forever. Sree Vadakkunathan temple in Thrissur is one such place that is very special. A visit to this ancient temple gave us a peaceful and divinely experience. The blessings of Sree Vadakkunathan (Siva) we felt in our souls is remembered forever. Day 1 of our Kerala Tour in Mar 2025 Our Kerala tour in March 2025 was one of the most soothing and cherishable family trips. In the early hours on 12th March, we started from Hyderabad and landed at Kochi airport at around 9.30 in the morning. The airport small yet rich in showcasing the cultural heritage of Kerala. Unlike other airports with international standards, this airport is in typical Kerala style with pagoda-style / pyramid type roofs. We walked out looking at the beautiful airport that was soothing to the eyes. We looked at every minute thing with appreciation which reflects the rich culture...

2nd Oct 2025 - on the day of Vijaya Dasami, we started for a sudden unplanned trip to Srisailam from Hyderabad as it was Dasara vacation. It was just a two-day trip and we were back home on 3rd Oct night. After an early morning Sparsh Darsan of Sri Mallikarjuna Swamy and a close darsan of Sri Brahmarambika Devi on 3rd Oct, we enjoyed a boat ride in Patala Ganga. Well, this was our 2nd visit to Patala Ganga, the 1st visit was in 2008 when we went down to Patala Ganga in a rope way but we did go on a boat ride in our 1st visit. Our bad luck, this time the rope way was closed due to some technical problem and it is difficult for us to go down the stony steps. Going down the steps would be fine but climbing up would be too exhausting. So we couldn't dare to go down the steps, however we found that there are some private autos taking the tourists in a long route down to Patala Ganga. I think, it was a temporary service due to the closure of rope way. There were auto on sharing bas...

3rd October 2025, the day after Vijaya Dasami - we had an early morning Sparsh darsanam of Srisailam Sri Mallikarjuna Swamy and close darsanam of Sri Brahmarambika Devi. After energizing with the divine blessings we went on a boat ride in Patala Ganga and were on our way back to Hyderabad. While driving from Hyderabad to Srisailam, the driver told us about Sri Uma Maheswara Swamy temple - a must-visit place. So on our way back to Hyderabad, he took us to this ancient temple which is located in a serene surroundings of the Nallamalla forest with breathtaking sceneries of the Eastern Ghats and valleys. As we drove on the Srisailam-Hyderabad highway, from the by-pass we took the left turn at the temple arch (kamaan) and we drove deeper into the village side passing through a stretch of lush greenery on either side of the road where there is less of human interference. It was lonely road and we could hardly see any vehicle or person on the road except few of our ancestors - monkey...
