Two days in Bangalore

On the way to Delhi I know two places where I can't miss to visit.Bangalore is one of them.So its time to roam around Bangalore.

Bangalore, now known as Bengaluru. It  is a city of salurious climate, and always bubbling with life and energy,reprenting a potpourri of people and culture.
One of India's largest cities, it's earned several names such as Silicon Valley of India, Pub Capital of India, Air Conditioned City, and City of Gardens.Bangalore was also known as Pensioners Paradise, prior to the IT revolution. Now, the city is a wonderful blend of past and present.

Bangalore Palace:

I came here in morning.The timing for the palace is 10A.M. to 5:30 P.M.As you can see, the whether in the photo is awesome. I am Indian so to see interior of this palace I paid Rs. 225 and for foreigners is Rs. 450 including nifty audio guide.If you want to click photo inside you have to pay Rs.675 more.
There are about 30,000 photographs currently present in the palace. There is a amusement park also in the park complex fun rides and snow room.

Film City:
  
To be there is one the most greatest thing.
It is situated 40 kms outside the city but you must go there.Entry fees is Rs.599 per person.There re  many things to see like there is India's 1st Dinosaur park,Cartoon City,Mirror Maze.And many other things like Louis Tassaud's Wax Museum,Go Karting, Min Golf, Adventure Sports,Double Decker Carrousel,amusement park and water park.
Film city has taken my full day.


Dodda Ganesha Temple:

i started my next morning visiting the temple.It is located near Bull Temple, a popular landmark of Bangalore.Thia temple is also known as Nandhi Temple.

The bull referred to is a sacred Hindu Demi-god, known as Nandi. Nandi is a close devotee and attendant of Shiva. Dodda Basavana Gudi is said to be the biggest temple to Nandi in the world. The stone cult image of Nandi is continually covered with new layers of butter,benne in the local language of Kannada. There is a cult image of the elephant-headed Hindu deity son of shiva Ganesha close by.
Visvesvaraya Industrial and Technological Museum

This museum has many type of gallaries like Engine Hall, Fun Science, How Things Work and many more.My favourite gallery was Computer Gallery.
There are many other things also like 11" Clestron Telescope with GPS for night sky observtion, mobile scince exibition , spark theatre and many more things.This museum will definitely give you the full proof that there is science everywhere even when the 'Science' word doesn't discovered.                          

Snow City:


Now its evening and its time to something cool.Snow City, nothing is cooler than this.The biggest snow city in India covering in over 12000 sq ft. they will give you all the things like earplugs,shoes,jackets,gloves but not socks so carry your socks with you to stay normal.

I took exit from the snow city at 7:30 and went to pack my bags to catch bus to Vellore which was at 10:30.

Two Days In Kanyakumari

Kanyakumari is a place where we can see the confluence of the three seas. The Bay of Bengal The Arabian Sea and The Indian Ocean. One can actually see the three colours of the waters during the low tides.

Kanyakumari the land's end of India is the southern most tip of India, also known as Indira point, is the beautiful  tourist attraction of Tamil Nadu.If you want to go by train you can. I went there by car because the scenes you can see by road, travelling with sea yo can't experience with the train or flight.The approximate stay is from 3-4 days, depending upon how much time you take to sight seeing.

Radhanagar Beach:

I started my morning by taking bath on the beach.The most famous beach at Kanyakumari. Go early in the morning before the sunrise,it is cloudy and you may not be in the positions to see the sun rise. But still, it is worth visiting the beach. You will find a lot of people around.There will be a strong breeze.But you will enjoy it. You can see he fisherman and women selling fishes of different sizes. I was a bit late to see the sunrise so I am telling you, "You don't be late".

Swami Vivekananda Rock Memorial:

Kumari Amman Temple:

On the mainland Kanyakumari is the Kumari Amman Temple.A visit to the temple is must.A beautiful Diamond nose-ring goddess is famous for sparking splendor which is supposed to be visible even after the sea.

You are here to see the Tamil Nadu and not wearing the dress code. You should wear that.  For the males there is the Adda Munda, or Dhoti, and the Anga Vastra, and saree for females.
Don't click the photos because photography is not allowed. Better to keep your cameras in you vehicle. I have been caught doing photography and given a fine of 2000 Rs.

This temple is just opposite to the entrance of the Memorial.The story of the temple is:

The temple is of Goddess Kumari Amman and the footprints of the virgin goddess can be seen here.In one of her Incarnations, Parvati, the consort of Shiva, was born as Kanyakumari Devi, who could not marry Shiva and remained unmarried and a virgin. the rice that was used for the weeding was scattered on the sands as the seven different coloured sands on the beach.


Once you reach there you will see a magnificent beach just behind the temple.One can find a lot curios on the beach. The Vendors sell all sorts of shells and shell crafts. You have to bargaining otherwise they will take double triple money from you. Conches are my favorites. You can get economical conches here than in rest of India.
There are a lot of eateries near the temple.

Suchindram Temple:
A  beautiful temple, with typical South Indian architecture, situated just about 13 kms from Kanyakumari , and is treat to visit. The insides of the temple are very intricately carved out of stone. There is a huge 18 feet idol of Lord Hanuman on your right as soon as you enter in the temple.There are musical pillars ,cut out of a single rock. There are 1035 pillars with carving and stories from Ramayana and Mahabharata are depicted on either side of the temple.

There is pujari who doubles up as your guide and takes you as around inside the temple and describes the details about the idols, the history, and the construction of the temple. It is believed that the Lord Indra was blessed by Lord Shiva and hence the name Suchi which means "purified" Indram.
Pandmanabhapuram Palace:

One of the most wonderful piece of the architecture of Kerala, is the Pandmanabhapuram Palace. Situated at around 45 Kms away from Kanyakumari but a place to visit. One can see the maintenance personnel polishing and shining the black floor with carbon black and oil and give it a gleaming appearance.




Padmanabhapuram is the capital of Travancore.

Hanging Bridge:

A long bridge which spans about half kilometers between two villages is a beautiful sight to watch.The scenery on the either side of the narrow pedestrian bridge is breathtaking.

Sunset point:
                    


Sunset Point like any other sunset point, is about 5 kms away from Kanyakumari city.Here you can watch the sun go down from behind the clouds on the horizon. People through hereto watch the sunset. Make sure you hire a cab or an auto rickshaw to return back to your hotel.

    And pack my bags to visit the capital of India, Delhi but after visiting places Bangalore and Vellore.
