One Day In Vellore

I have also heard about so much things but most popular place of Vellore city is Srilakshmi Golden Temple.

Vellore is a city and it is situated on the bank of Palar River.When I came here the climate was semi-arid and little bit of  rainfall with temperature of about 25 degrees.There is on time for winter season.As North people get the winter holidays , South Indian people get the rainy holidays. Mostly the rainfall comes during October, November and December.

Vellore is actually a small city, can be visit in 1 day.As  1 day is enough, but I have to being hurry because the places I am going to visit are mostly outside the city.Golden Temple is famous of the city and the collage VIT University,Vellore is also famous collage for Engineering collage.People from all over the India came here to study B-Tech.Mostly famous for B-Tech only as of SRM University, where I am studying.There is a tight competition between the VIT Vellore and SRM University ,because in both University almost all companies come for offering jobs.But i selected SRM University, because it is in Chennai.

Vellore is also a good place.

Vellore Fort:
The fort is situated in the centre of the Vellore city.

Just type on GPS or tell the cab driver Vellore Fort, Vellore.He will take you there.Make sure when you were telling the address you must be confident otherwise the auto wala will charge you like a tourist foreigner.I must recommend to book a cab like Ola or Uber, so that you will get their at cheap rate.
It was built in year 1566 AD. The architecture of this fort is amazing as it cover over 133 acres of land and a river flowing through. The view from the upper side of the fort is awesome. f you are in Vellore it will be one o the best place to visit in Vellore.

The fort houses a Temple, a Mosque , a Church and a renowned Vellore Christian Hospital.
There is a museum inside the fort and opens daily a 9:00 a.m to 12:30 p.m. and in afternoon 2:00 p.m till evening 5:00.The fees for the museum is INR 5/-.

Its good from inside.This is only one image.When I went because of some security issues they were not allowing to click images, but I clicked one for you all only.




Golden Temple:

After about 30 minutes of journey from Vellore Fort finaly I came here at Golden Temple, known as
Sripuram Golden Temple.This temple is located over 100 acres of land.
The temple has about 9 to 10 layers of gold covering on a etched copper plates.
The gold covering has intricate work which can only be done by articians specializing in temple art using gold.
Made by about 600 crores in about 6 years.

If you tell random people about Golden Temple in India other than Vellore, they will definitely give you the address of the Golden Temple, Amirtsar .This temple is not that famous but will become famous soon.



Every single art has a significance from the vedas.There is a star shaped path positioned in the middle of lush green landscape , with a length of over 2 k.m. One has to walk along the star path to reach the temple in the middle.

The garden and the surrounding of the temple is very good.And look more beautiful at night due to the brightness come from the gold due to moon light.




Now pack my bags to go again to Chennai to catch my flight to Mumbai ,Maharashtra.
The only place in India where people say "Its never late".
