Kalahasthi Trip to KalahasthiKalahasthi is a temple town, a Raghu sthalam. I planned the trip to kalahasthi with my mom & grandmom. You can have details of the temple, its significance from the wikipedia site: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Srikalahasti_Temple. I read through the wiki site before planning my journey.
We started post lunch from home and reached Coimbaedu by 11AM. We have buses to kalahasthi every hour.We boarded a bus to Kalahasthi and reached there by 4 PM. we rented the devasthanam room and relaxed ourselves and went for a window shopping that evening. Mom bought oil, flowers and necessary things for the pooja next day. We took a bath and went to temple. Had the darshan of the Lord Darbaranyeswarar, the lord in form of wind and Gnana Prasunambal. We had the arthajama seva with aarathi. We also had the darshan of the pathala vinayar. Enquired the counter for the raghu sthala for the pooja. They said it will be open the next day morning by 5 AM.
So, pre-planned, we were ready in the temple the next day by 5 Am and performed the first abhishekam and Aradhana and also did a second darshan of the Shiva and parvathi. We lighted lamps in front of pathala vinayagar temple. The entrance of the temple is too narrow that only people who are lean and young can have his darshan. My self and my mom successfully made it. But my grandmom, though interested couldn. Even many young people skipped his darshan with Fear with them. When HE is there with us, Why should we fear. There are lots of monkeys roaming all through the temple. The temple with many gopuras painted white looked beautiful. The streets from the gopuras are always seen crowded.
Had our breakfast in Saravana bhavan(decent south indian hotel) and started back home and reached home safe by 4 pm. Om nama shivaya!!
