Maralwadi Dam

Hello Travelers,

It's another weekend and the itch to travel started again. So after having Lunch I got ready and rode my bike to a small dam called Maralwadi Dam near Kanakapura. It is 60 Kms approx from Bangalore, again it depends on where you stay. It took me 2 hours to reach. I started my ride at 3 PM and reached by 5 PM.

I travelled via Jigani and proceeded towards Maralwadi Dam. The route is scenic and passes through Villages, Farms and Bannerghatta reserve forest for a few Kms. The roads are well laid. Enroute you will see many beautiful landscapes with hills in the background which will make you stop the vehicle and take pictures.

The dam is beautiful indeed, actually there was no one when I visited. A few monkeys were on the trees at the entrance for the welcome but they did not disturb me. One could spend around 30 to 60 mins. It should be a good half a day trip.

See you all in my next post. Bye :)

Shrungagiri Sri Shanmukha Temple

Hello Travelers,

After visiting Omkar Hills Temple we proceeded to Shrungagiri Sri Shanmukha Temple. It is also located in RR Nagar. 

It's a newly built temple and is dedicated to Lord Subramanya. The temple is situated on a small hill lock and we need to climb a lot of steps. Elders might find it difficult. 

After entering the temple main gate and climbing a few steps we have 5 Faced Ganesha Temple, Then after climbing a few more steps we have Lord Shiva and Parvati Temple. The Shiva Linga is made out of Crystal. And finally after few more steps of climbing we have the Temple of Lord Subramanya. The Vimana is designed to have 6 Faces of Lord Shanmukha.

Parking space is available opposite to the temple. You need at least 1 Hour to see the temple. From the top we can see how huge is Bangalore :)
