Botlappa Cave temple, Coorg.

Posted on May 23, 2019

About 4 kilometers up up up and then another 3-400 meters really steep you will find this cool temple. So worth all the sweat.

The rock formations are humongous when you stand beneath.
No sadhu around but a sign said ( I think since it was in Kannada) when they had the ceremonies up here.
Someone had been here right before us since the hibiscus was fresh.
This pile with terracotta I think was old ….I’m not sure but they looked old in an old way.

It’s a special feeling when you are high up in the tree tops and walking around in silence looking down into the greenery. Almost silence…all of a sudden a rickshaw comes along. But no rickshaw ride for us. We hiked all the way.

Hope you will join me on my next hike, next post. At the moment I’m not sure where I’m heading.

A Parvati temple in the village of Huskur.

Posted on April 25, 2019

This temple is quite close to school so while my other half, that I’m dependent upon while here in India, was working I and my driver Ganga payed a visit.

The temples here in the south are so colorful and so filled with all these details.

Parvati is the wife of the hindu god Shiva. She is the hindu goddess of fertility, love, beauty, marriage, children and devotion; as well as of divine strength and power.

Nandi is the gate- guardian deity of Kailasa, the abode of Lord Shiva.
Naga , sanskrit for serpent, a mythical semidivine being, half human and half cobre. They are strong handsome species that can assume either wholly human or wholly serpent form and are potentially dangerous but often beneficial to humans.

This is just one of many thousands of temples around. Some tiny and some are really huge. I will show you more when I visit.

See you soon <:
