Its a long long pending post..i have not scribbled anything for past five months ...mmmm such a long time so let me start with some thing divine to make my blog more prefect and rich- Thirupati balaji the most richest god as far as i know . I had read long back from Anitha Nairs travalogue about three worship places in India where the chance of visiting the place will come to us unexpectedly when the god himself will grant us the permission to visit him and not by mere planning... sounds curious ..well they are 1. Mookambika devi temple ,Kollur 2. Ajmer Darga and 3. Thirupati. Atheists who read this will be thinking what nonsense this lady had written here ...well it all depends on ones faith to believe or not to believe in god. Its quite amazing that it is true for me.My amma had offered mookambika devi that if i pass my Xth standard she will make me to visit the temple. but unfortunately after long 13 years goddess has not yet given my slot :(
It all happened suddenly that my aunty and cousins visited and they had a plan to visit thirupati and kalahasti temple so unexpectedly and unplanned balaji gave me the slot to visit him. We had made our bookings online to Rs 300 queue at 2.30 pm.
It was all set and on one fine July morning we were heading on NH7 .
Central silk board - outer ring road- marthahalli- KR puram tin factory- Hosakote- Kolar-Chittor- Thirupati
It was a very fine ride through national and state highways. Took room down town and had a quick fresh up and headed straight to temple. I was amazed by the security checkups of the temple.Though it took some time i felt it is quite essential to have this fine security in these pilgrimage centers.We were just in time and was the last persons for 2.30 slot.Our ID proofs were verified and we entered in to long queue and finally by 8 pm we got balaji darshanam.Although quite tired i felt a divine happiness inside me. It was a pournami day and there was dance performances happening outside the sanctum also we got chance to see sreenivasa padmavathy marriage . My first visit was quite good !! Thank you govindha :)
A Dance performance that resembled that of kolkali in Kerala.
