Dharmasthala, Ujire and Kukke Subramanya Trip with Colleagues - 23.02.2014

Hmmmmm another one with 4 of my colleagues...All set for the divine blessings.We started from office on 22nd Feb by 6 with a packet of chips.The best part about the trip was Skoda ! Yes one of my favorites which carried us throughout the journey.One the way near Nelamangala , we purchased  biscuits and packets of fried rice..Had our dinner at road side ! :) The journey was accompanied with songs and jokes . We reached Dharmasthala at 1:00 AM .I was surprised to see the city filled up with tons of cars and other vehicles...Hmmmm lots of people to seek Lord Manjunatha's blessings ! Later we took rest for 3 hrs and got ready for the darshanam..We entered temple at 6:00 AM ..I thought it would take lot of time but luckly we came out at 7:15 AM.After having our break fast in a hotel, we left to see Gomateshwara statue. The view was beautiful from the hill ! Later we moved towards Ujire and reached there by 10:30 AM.We had the darshana of lord Sadashivarudra swamy and left to Kukke.One the way we saw Ramashektra temple..It was a huge temple with marble idols of mainly Sriram,Laxman, Sita ,Hanuman. and many other like navagraha , Durga, Ganesha, Saibaba etc...From there we left for Kukke and reached there at 12:30.There was a huge queue but somehow we managed to peep to see Lord Subramanya..We had our lunch in the temple and also saw the main temple which is behind the Subramanya temple.We left at 2:30 from Kukke and reached Bangalore at 6:00PM.Over all it was a memorable small trip ! Enjoyed it completely.
