Athi Varadhan - Done. Here are a few tips if you are planning.

Athi Varadhan - Done. Here are a few tips if you are planning. Firstly don't sweat too much looking for 'connections'. Just go and stand in the free que. The que moves fast. The senior citizens area is well planned. They take them straight close to the place from the gopuram. No checking done - so feel free to take water bottles etc. If not they have enough water stations as well. Toilets also there everywhere.

Depending on from where you are reaching you will be guidied to the parking spot and then you take the govt mini bus. 10 rupees to get dropped in front of the temple.
Pro tip: a lot of private buses will push you to take their bus. But they are not allowed beyond a point and you have to walk the distance. Not worth it. Autos are available too. But not sure till what point they will be allowed.
When you park your car please send the location on WhatsApp to yourself. There are several parking places and you won't know which one when you head back.

It is a moving crowd and we finished the entire thing in 20 mts. So we decided to go for a second round as well. We think best to go in the next few days when the crowd is not much. It could get worse during weekends for sure.

Just don't get too worried about crowd and waiting times etc. Just go ! You will enjoy the ride.

Embracing Evening Serenity: A Peaceful Stroll / Walk

A Tranquil Evening Walk As the sun begins to set, I step out for my evening walk, the air cool and inviting. The park is alive with the simple joys of life: children laughing as they play, dogs running freely with boundless energy, and birds singing their evening songs. Walking along the path, I greet familiar faces and exchange friendly waves with neighbors. Each step feels like a gentle unwinding of the day’s stresses, a soothing balm for the soul. Reconnecting with Nature and Friends The park is a vibrant tapestry of life. I meet a few friends along the way, and we share light-hearted conversations and laughter, the kind that refreshes the spirit. We pause to watch the playful antics of the dogs and the unfiltered joy of kids as they chase after each other. These simple, everyday scenes remind me of the beauty in life's small moments, often overlooked but deeply enriching. A Serene Visit to the Temple My walk leads me to the local temple, a place of serene calm amidst the busyne...

!!! A Divine Journey to Ahobilam: The Abode of Nava Narasimhas !!!

Introduction My recent pilgrimage to Ahobilam, the sacred abode of Nava Narasimhas, was an unforgettable experience. Filled with devotion and a deep sense of spirituality, we embarked on this journey with love and blessings for Lord Narasimha. Ahobilam Yatra Day 1: A Trek Through Divinity As dawn broke at 6 AM, we set off from our guesthouse. A sense of anticipation filled the air as we eagerly awaited the divine darshan of Ahobila Narasimha and Lakshmi at the Lakshmi Narasimha Temple, one of the 108 revered Divya Desams where Lord Vishnu's divine presence is felt. According to legend, Godess Maha Lakshmi was angry at Bhagavan Narasimha Swamy as he had married Chenchu Lakshmi. So, Bhagavan Narasimha pleased Godess Mahalakshmi on the hills of Vedadri. Sri Malola Narasimha Swamy is the Aradhya Daiva of Sri Ahobila Matha. Then, we embarked on a challenging yet rewarding trek to Upper Ahobilam. Here's a glimpse into the divine encounters: Malola Na...
