Our Munnar Trip

Myself, wife and our beloved son have taken for 2 days and 3 nights trip to Munnar by car. We came to place near to Thrissur on Bus. And taken car for Munnar visit. Car driver was well known to us and his name is Kabir.

While going to Munnar there was slight rain and journey was slow and we could enjoy the wet evening full of trees, water falls, mist and mountains. It took 4 hours to reach Munnar. We stayed in wonderful place Elysium Garden. The food was good, tasty, healthy and has good local flavours still allowing us to have typical Indian meal!

Basar, Nizamabad, Andhra Pradesh

Basara Temple is situated 200 Kms from Hyderabad, AP. Sri Gnana Saraswathi temple at Basara on the banks of river Godavari is the only temple in South India dedicated to the Goddess of learning.

The legend has it that after the Mahabharata war, sage Veda Vyasa embarked on a pilgrimage in search of peace. He reached the serene Kumaranchala hills on the banks of river Godavari and meditated and propitiated the Goddess who eventually appeared before him and granted her presence in the form of the divine trinity.

The Goddess ordered the sage to place three handful of sand at three places everyday. Miraculously these sand dunes transformed into the idols of the divine trinity i.e., Saraswathi, Lakshmi, & Kali. These are the presiding deities of Basar today. Despite the presence of the trinity,the temple is dedicated to Goddess Saraswathi.

Children are brought here for the ceremony of Akshara puja to start their education with the blessings of the Goddess of Knowledge. The Vedavathi Sila, the Ashtateertha are other places of interest around Basar. Thousands of devotees bath in the river Godavari & seek the blessings of the Goddess during the Mahashivarathri, Dassera navratris and Vasantha panchami. This is an ancient temple dedicated to Goddess Saraswathi. The temple at Basar is also the abode of Goddess Lakshmi and Kali.
