On Saturday we wanted to go out somewhere. After some discussions, we decided to go to Omkar Hills and Shanmukha temple in Raja Rajeswari Nagar on Mysore Road.
We started from home at 12noon and reached RR Nagar at 2:00PM. The traffic was too much and it took 2 hours for 20KMs. We had lunch at a restaurent and went to Shanmukha temple at 3:30PM. The remple was closed for lunch. It will reopen at 4:30PM. So, we went to Omkar Hills. Omkar Hills got its name from the big clock placed on top of the hill which make Omkaram (Oum) every hour. A big Dwadasha Jyotirlinga temple is being constructed there. Though temple was opened on 14th, still the finishing is being done. This temple too was closed till 5PM.
We just roamed around the place for some time waiting for the clock to make Omkaram at 4. Hmm.. at 4, the clock didnt make any sound.. seems its not working now :-).
We didnt want to wait there till 5PM as it would become dark by the time we visit other temple and go home. So, we started back to Shanmukha temple. Its around 4KMs from this place.
The temple was just opened when we reached there. We climbed up the hill and had darshan and started back home. We rached home at 7:30PM.
