Sivaganga trip

I was happy on Friday evening when dad told that we will go to Sivaganga on Saurday. He called babai and told him to come home on friday night itself. In joy I played drums :-). I bought these from our last week's trip (Gavi gangadhareswara temple and Bull temple). Did I tell you guys about that trip??? I have no pics of that.





We started from home at 8:30AM. Crossing Hebbal, Peenya and Nelamangala, we reached Sivaganga by 10:30. It was very hot. The hill looked very good and tall (it seems it is 4000ft ASL). The temple is close to base at around 100 steps to climb. Me and babai climbed up the stairs first.







The temple is inside a cave and it was very hot there. All of us were sweating. After doing abhishekam, we roamed inside the temple. I was very curious to see the Nandi and was keenly observing it.












From there, we went on a walk around the temple. Its a big and very old temple but not maintained properly. More than devotees coming for temple, there were lots of young people visting the place for trekking. I also tried to do some trekking with dad's help.



Then we went to do some pradaskhina. But the door on the other end was closed, so we came back.







On the way down, a monkey suddenly came from nowhere and took the bag from mom's hand. The bag had prasadam, coconut, flowers etc. We went to another temple on the way down.
By then it was 1:30PM. We were hungry and wanted to have lunch but were scared of monkeys :-). So we decided to have lunch on the way back home. We stopped on road under a big peepal tree to have lunch at 2PM.



Then on our way back, we went to Vishwa santhi ashram near Nelamangala. The temple was very calm and peaceful.







I roamed around the temple and gave giftopadesham to babai. I hope he will buy me more gifts in guru dakshina.



I played in the garden there in the ashram for some time before leaving the place at 4PM. Bye-Bye.




We reached home at 5:15PM.
