Trip to Madhya Pradesh

 It was 6 a.m in the morning I had to get up or it would be late for the plane. I quickly got ready to leave. I  boarded my IndiGo plane at 12 pm.

We reached Abhilya Bhai Holkar international airport at around 2 pm. From there we went to a huge Ganesha temple. Then we checked in to our hotel. Then had lunch there. We even went for a walk. Then that night we had gone to eat. But we only ate Pav Bhaji😂(Though there were many options.).

The following night we left for Gwalior in an overnight train journey. It was 5℃. When we were talking it looked as if we were smoking. It was so cold. Then we rushed to our hotel which had a heater. Though it was a bit cold in the room. Then that afternoon we went to the huge Gwalior fort. We even saw the light show there. 

The next day we left for Bhopal in a Shatabdi. We even saw Jyothiradithya Schindhia in Gwalior. He is now the aviation minister. In Bhopal, we went to Van Vihar. It is a zoo in a park. It has leopards, Cheetahs, Lions, Tigers, and many more. Animals like deer are left free. We even went for a walk in the huge lake. It even had a  bridge. The next day we went to Sanchi and saw the Sanchi Stupa. We came back to get a train to Ujjain. We were late for it. Saw we went on a local train. The journey was fun. 

We went to Vikramadithya's throne in Ujjain. We even went to Mahakaleshwar Jyothirlinga in Ujjain. We even went to Omkareshwar Jyothirlinga. It is an island in the shape of Om🕉️. We then left for Indore. 

In Indore we went to Ahilya Bhai Holkar's palace. Then we left to the airport and came back to Banglore at 11pm.

Trip to Karavali Karnataka

Wednesday 28 September: I had to get up at 4 in the morning to catch a train at 7 in the morning. We went to the railway station and we had a nice walk until the end of the train we had to board the Karwar express. Our coach was called the Vistadome. The train then started. The views of the western ghats from Sakleshpur to Subramanya road were amazing! We could see ranges of mountains stretching to the horizon. Many waterfalls, streams, and a lot of tunnels came in our path.   Then we reached Mangalore junction. In Mangalore, we freshened up and left for Tannirbhavi beach. The water there was cold. We even saw the beautiful sunset there. Then we came back and ate in Pabba's cafe. We ate our dinner at the Sagar Rathna hotel. Then we come to the end of Day 1.

The Chola Trail: A Journey Through the Heart of Tamil Nadu

On the early morning of August 12th, I left for the mysterious city of Chidambaram with my sister and a few relatives. The same day it started raining heavily so we waited until it stopped raining and went on our way to the temple. The temple was quite huge with hundreds of pillars. As it was a Saturday it was a little bit crowded. Then when we reached the main sanctum, it took some time to decode how the idol really was as it was covered with garments and embedded with jewels. We stayed at a good hotel. Chidambaram is not just a town, but a mystery. It is home to one of the oldest and most magnificent temples in India, dedicated to Lord Shiva as the cosmic dancer, Nataraja. But what makes this temple unique is that the main deity is not an idol, but an empty space. Yes, you read that right. The innermost sanctum of the temple has nothing but a curtain of golden leaves, behind which lies the secret of creation, the Chidambara Rahasya. This secret is said to be revealed only to those w...

Trip To God's Own Country

On the night of December 25th, I embarked on my journey to Thrissur in an Ambari Utsav bus. By the next day, around 8 AM, I reached Thrissur. From there, the event organizers had arranged for a bus to take us from the bus stop to Guruvayur. It was a one-hour ride through streets lined with magnificent houses, each showcasing unique architectural styles. Our destination, Guruvayur, marked the beginning of our yatra. I stayed near the ISKCON temple in Guruvayur. After enjoying a hearty breakfast, I visited the Kesavan Samadhi. The burial place, of a remarkable elephant. This was no ordinary elephant but a devotee of Lord Guruvayoorappan (Lord Krishna) named Kesavan. Kesavan was so devoted that he underwent initiation ceremonies just like human devotees do in various temples. The Samadhi was a short walk from the hotel. After paying our respects, we returned to the hotel for lunch.  For lunch, I ate the special delicacy of Kerala coin paratha skipping the day's Prasad at the ISKCON Gu...
