Hotel Temple IN

We visited this temple on the 18th of this month based on the reference given by one of our neighbors. The visit proved to be a great experience of joy and peace. The presiding deity in this temple is Lord Vishnu, with the shrine name "Pundareekakshan". The deity is imposing and looks majestic. The deity was decorated specially due to the ongoing of auspicious month 'Margazhi' in Tamil. The dressing and decorations were appealing with its grandeur. This is one part. Now ,comes the other part. When we set out to go around the temple, we were startled by the huge and sprawling space inside the temple. Going through a broad corridors of huge pillars, build about 400 years ago, we reached the backyard. It was totally different from the temple atmosphere. There is one huge banyan tree with its giant roots and stems spread all over. A few children were playing under the tree by catching hold of its roots and swaying from one end to another. The deposit of sands under the tree acts as protective layer to these children when they let loose their grips over the roots, they are holding for swaying here and there. Close to the banyan tree, a massive hillock is there. It is slippery to climb. But with due care and balance, One can crawl on it and climb certain heights. To descend one has to be careful as well so as to avoid a fall. I did the same. Some parts of the hillock was less slippery for climbing up. With my wife, I enjoyed sort of mini trekking here.
