{5Days – 4 Members,
Family Tour, 3 States, 1800 Kms above – August 2017}
At first, we started our
journey in train from Hyderabad to Katpadi railway station. Form Katpadi , We
went Arunachalam by bus. And it took 20 hours to reach Arunchalam place from
Hyderabad. Also I have updated my quora.com while travelling only.
In Arunchalam, no one speak
English and it is bit hard for us to understand Tamil Language as we are Telugu
speaking people. In Arunachalam we stayed in Siva Sannidhi cottage which was
allotted for telugu people mostly. Which is opposite to Ramana Ashram.
Arunachaleswar Temple
{Arunachala refers to the holy
hill at Tiruvannamalai in Tamil Nadu. The hill is also known by the names
Arunagiri, Annamalai Hill, Arunachalam, Arunai, Sonagiri and Sonachalam.}
We all visited the
Arunachaleswar Temple and worshipped the God Shiva. After that we did Giri Pradakshina
and covered 8 Shiva temples during Giri Pradakshina. For doing this we have
travelled nearly 14 to 16 kms around the Ananthagiri hill. Those temples are
Indra Lingam, Agni Lingam, Yama Lingam, Niruthi Lingam, Varuna Lingam, Vayu
Lingam, Kubera Lingam and Eesaniya Lingam in the morning time and at night time
my mother and brother did giri pradakshina in full moon day on foot.
After arunchalam place we
travelled in a car to Sripuram Place visited Golden temple and worshipped the
Goddess Sri Maha Lakshmi. Also saw the Vellore Institute of Technology (VIT)
University at Vellore. After Sripuram we have catched train for Tirupathi.
Sripuram Temple
{ The golden temple complex inside the
Sripuram spiritual park is situated at
the foot of a small range of green hills at Thirumalaikodi village, 8 km from
Vellore in Tamil Nadu, India. This temple is gilded with 1500 kg of pure gold;
double the 750 kg gilding of the Golden Temple at Amritsar.}
When we reached Tirupathi the climate
is not good. So, security women told us to catch bus to Tirumala. It took 40 minutes
to reach Tirumala Hills. My brother travelled to Tirumala by walk through steps.
He took 3 hours to reach Tirumala Hills. And we all stayed in Vasavi Satram at
Tirumala.
We had Swamy darshan twice in 9
hours during the day through special entry tickets. After our darshan we did local tour in car
at Tirumala and seen Luxury Cottages of famous cine actors and business people
like Anil Ambani and Mukesh Ambani etc. Due to tight schedule we were unable to
cover universities which are located in Tirupathi.
From Tirumala, we went directly
to Kalahasthi and stayed in a Hotel. Next day morning we saw the Srikalahasti Temple.
Also we did Rahu and Kethu pooja and left our pooja clothes there and return
back to Hyderabad.
