Palani and Kodai-Finishig the long tour

Day 6:
      This is the day of our marriage anniversary and we were in the holy presence of Lord Subrahmanya in Palani.  One can witness great scenic beauty while going up through steps which are roughly 700 in number. There is also the facility to go up by winch. The Lord here is called Dandayutha pani. Some people even carry a Kavadi as an offering to the Lord while going on foot.
                                                         
  There is one Uchchi Kala puja that starts exactly at 12 in the afternoon. The Rs 150/- ticket is issued from 11.30 and one can be in the presence of the Lord for around 40 minutes in this seva. We can see the Abisheka, Alankara, Archana, and aaratis of different varieties during this seva. This is really a nice seva to enjoy the presence of the Lord. Thus finishing the darshan of the Lord in all possible ways, we came down the steps and were on the way to Kodai kanal that was 60KM from Palani.


                                        
               The last destination came to be Kodai which offered a wonderful weather and a very pleasant drive through the ghat. The beauty around is far beyond the description. Simply awesome.
   We stayed the night there in Raahat inn hotel and did a little shopping in the night. For vegetarian food, the Astoria and woodland restaurants offer a good choice.
Day 7:
      The finishing day started with the sightseeing in Kodai kanal and was ended with boating in the beautiful Kodai lake. All the points to be seen are in an easy root and there is no need to waste money on guides here. After having spent a considerable time there, we planned to leave for Bangalore the same day so that 2 days could be reserved for relaxation. And yes, we were at home at 12 in the night to mark a full-stop to our long tour.
  THANK GOD FOR GIVING US COMFORT IN ALL THE WAYS THROUGH OUT THE TRIP AND GUIDING US IN THE PROPER WAY EACH MOMENT.KEEP SHOWERING YOUR GRACE ON US ALL THE WHILE.

  1. Very nice and remembering tour. Thanks for sharing this post. The back-drop to the town is formed by an offshoot of the Western Ghats, the Palani Hills, whereon lies the hill-station of Kodaikanal. Check out all best hotels in Palani also.
