Located remotely off the Mashem village, the only way to reach here is the trek we took. Dont know much history about this place, but definitely there is a lot to this remote a location of the temple.

Anup on his way down to the pond...

Few years back a tiger lived in the caves just besides the pond & this kept us on our toes for sometime. When you are there a eerie feeling descends on you and to add our dude Parag could all the while hear some noises, and even a battery low beep skipped a heart beat..

Corridors at Rameshwaram.

Rameshwaram...

A beautiful temple.. in its design and size, but a turn off, thanks to commercialised priests.

Rameshwaram Beach

Supposedly the place where Shri Ram pulled his bow-string to calm the rough waves of the ocean so that they could construct the bridge to Lanka. I did find it still. Ram knows what he did.....

Around the Golden Lotus tank @ Madurai Meenakshi Temple.

Madurai Meenakshi Temple...

An amazing sight to behold. 'Beautiful' for its grand design, but sadly, too commercialised. There was a point at which I wanted to walk away just from the front of the Sanctum Sanctorum, the priests were just too demanding, yea the money. But had to stay, folks were with me. God knows what was on my mind, but its ok.. i stayed and kept all happy, including those priests..

Typical Tamilian design on the Temple Gopuram. Shot from our hotel room.. facinating architecture and designs.
