First long drive on our new car-Ghati

We had our very exciting first long drive in our new car on 12th December to the famous Subrahmanyeswara temple in Ghati. The temple and decoration were awesome and we felt very happy to begin our new series with a great place.

    

                              
                

       

          From there we proceeded to Nandi Hills which is 25 KM from Ghati. This was the most memorable part of the drive since my husband was going up a hill for the first time, that too in a new vehicle with no prior planning or preperation. At the end when we reached the top of the hill, we were as if we reached the top of Everest peak. The ghat to reach the top leaves us with good scenic beauty. We can feel so pleasant the atmosphere on the top. May be the time reached there also was great part of day to be there(Evening time).                       

                                         There were some temples on the top and down the hill there was a temple 1200 years old which was the highlight of the day's tour. The very old type of construction, the spacious surroundings, the calmness that brings peace of mind ....... left us all with feelings far out of reach of description.

                               
                                             By the time we reached down the hill, the Sun god was on the way back to his adobe to take rest for the rest of the day. We were told that there was a statue of big Nandi near by in that village so we proceeded to that spot. This was a place something like a horror film scene with no light at all in the visibility except our car lights. Even the room where the Nandi is present is also disappeared spot with no shade of clues at all to be recognized. But we were lucky to try our luck with cell phone lights an camera flash that presented us the darshan of the gigantic Nandi. So thus the ending was great to a great starting.
