Just Temples

Srirangam, Tamil Nadu

Legend has it that Vibhishana took the Shrine of this temple from Rama on his way back to Sri Lanka. Tired after a long journey he took rest at Srirangam, where he made the mistake of placing the shrine on the ground. Even today the temple faces southwards - towards Sri Lanka.

Dahanu, Maharashtra

This place is over 100kms away from Mumbai and is famous for its Mahalaxmi temple. The roads are good and a drive on an early weekend morning is the perfect way to unwind. I’d also recommend going to the Santoshi Mata temple nearby, as the long winding road leading to the temple is really good for a bike ride.

This temple is one of the 12 jyothilings of Lord Shiva. The carvings of this age old temple are are beautiful. This temple is only a few kms away from the Ellora caves, so the roads are good. ____________________________________________________
