Pilgrimage Tours
"India is the only millionaire - the one land that all men desire to see,
and having seen once, by even a glimpse, would not give that glimpse for
all the shows of all the rest of the globe combined."
- Mark Twain
Bhimashankar
Location : Maharashtra
Trip was Interesting, as we were just 60km away from the temple in the night when everybody stopped us going ahead, bcoz of ghost and animal stories.....next morning, our eyes captured beautiful scenaries.....and we visited the Temple...safe and sound..... :-)
Out of twelve Lord Shiva's Jyotirlingas, we have visited four till now
Out of four Dhams, we have visited one till now
Nageshwar
This one of the Jyotirling is all re-constructed by Late. Gulshan Kumar (T-Series), the Lord Shiva esteem devotee.... Nageshwar temple is situated near Place called Mithapur (common salt is manufactured in the city of Mithapur)...interesting na????
Rukmani Temple
Temple has its own importance in covering the dwarakadeesh dham..... Dham darshan is considered to be completed on visiting Rukmani temple....or else...dwarkadeesh dham darshan is incomplete...its a saying...and we truly followed it....
Somnath
Temple is located on the beautiful sea shore... In the evening we watched light & sound show in the Temple...
We tried, even for water sport parasailing...but it was time of dawn and our chance didnt turn up.... :-(
Sudama Krishna Temple
Gandhiji's home place porbandar.... Krishan sudama temple had one interesting maze to pass the time....which we did... otherwise whole of the Porbandar was full of fishing buisness and smell.... :-0
Shivling Temple
Another small Temple situated on sea-shore in Diu, which is known to be submerged underwater at different times of year. We visited the temple, and started locating crabs on rocks situated at boundary of the temple.....
Church
An Angelic Church.... same kind of those are in Goa also....we clicked some pics and lit up the candles....
Vaishno Devi
Location : Jammu & Kashmir
This is the starting point from where, all of us are in enthusiastic mood to cover 12-15kms in one strech....but later everyone completed the one way with horse ride....but while returning all of us managed to complete 14kms in one strech from 00hrs-5a.m...it was chilly and rainy there...and we were exhausted...and tragedy didnt end here....the 2hrs distance by road from katra to jammu took 8hrs to complete within the mountains, great landslide jam with no food no water........we did missed our train from Jammu to Delhi...and then some how hired a taxi to Delhi...we were eight...came in a straight sitting position...irritaed and frustated...this is what is called our bad luck is bad...
Tirambhkeshwar
The one of the jyotirling is near Nashik-Mumbai highway...a highway that is famous for thrilling haunted stories...so we too experienced the incident...of 2 kids dancing like anything in the middle of the road...hardly wore anything...in that chilled night at 2.a.m.....so people beware...while crossing that highway in the night... :-0
Shirdi Sai Baba
Location : Nashik, Maharashtra
The Famous Shirdi Sai Baba temple...the good thing of this temple is that people from all religions come here and pray for the wishes..this was our 3rd visit with family members...
Shani Shingnapur
Location : Aurangabad, Maharashtra
The temple is famous for pouring mustard oil on the shivling...with wearing only wrap-around.....now the tag "only for men" applies here... :-)
Bhent Dwarka
Here you will find sweet pic of our neice Mihika...on the way to Bhent Dwarka...in Ferry..but the Ferry was used more for the fisheries and less of the tourist like us were present....the place is famous for Lord Krishna and sudama meeting...and later whole of the Dwarka is known to be submereged underwater.....under vast Sea....
Dwarka Dheesh Dham
We entered the temple and had darshan of Lord krishna at the time of "Aarti" only....Lucky we...also we started Dham darshan in our twenties...and will surely complete...char dham yatra in our forties or so... :)
ISKCON - Bhaktivedanta Rajavidyalaya
Location: Surat, Gujarat
This was a day of "Ganpati Visarjan" when we had darshan of ISKCON temple also while returning from other temples with our family... we had food in the temple that was served that day to all people who were visiting....and after that we immersed the Ganpati in water flowing at the back side of temple....
