less visited more peaceful

Temple On HillThis one is at one of the hills of Kathgodam, near Haldwani. One can find temples on such isolated places on hills. Its common. Shepards and other folk who has to pass by the mountains build up temples in hope that forest god or their village god will be protecting them through their journey. Another feature of such temples is that you can find some water body nearby.

This picture was taken sometime at Dec-07 when I went to attend to Narendar bhai's marriage. I stole some time and along with my brother, cousin and one guest reached this place.

Pilgrimage

God's Gate Keeper

In Frame : Rani. Do we need to say who she is ? Rani is the elephant at Manarkul Vinayagar Temple at Pondicherry (Pondy) whom one can see the entrance of the temple. She has been trained to shower blessings on devotees who offer her money and eatables especially banana. On festivals she is beautifully decorated with colorful usually red and golden yellow robes and cloth sheets and carries the idols of Lord Ganesha along with the religious processions which passes through prominent streets of Pondy notable among them is JN Sreat and MG Road. Clicked in Aug 2008 at Manarkul Temple, Pondy during my first visit to the temple.
