Golden temple A view of the Sri Lakshmi Narayani Temple near Thirupati

Image
Located some 200 km form Bangalore and about half that distance from Chennai, Vellore is a lesser known place. For many its just a transit bus stop from Bangalore to Chennai. But with a masssive Rs. 300 crore Golden Temple in Sripuram, all that has changed. The temple build in true Deccan architecture style is a massive depiction of Indian craftsmanship. The temple welcomes you with the National Flag of India fluttering at the entrance, infusing an invariable sense of national pride. Enter the temple and you have to walk a Star shaped path to reach the main idol. The path has quotes from Vedas written all through, punctuated by some great sculptures, beautiful gardens, fountains and scenic hills in the backdrop. The star shape long path to reach the idol is strategically constructed. By the time you reach the main idol, even if you have read half of the quotes in the way, you are unknowingly closer to almighty and the darshan becomes more fulfilling and enriching experience.

The Papa Vinashanam

Image
Other Temple and Holy place of Tirumala and Tirupati The Papa Vinashanam The Papa Vinashanam (cleanser of Sins) About 5 Kms north of the Tirumala temple is a deep bowl formed by the surrounding hills that created a reservoir ages ago and many a mountain stream emptied into it. This came to be known as the Papavinashanam (The Cleanser of sins). Its waters were initially used for worshipping purposes but abandoned later because of the distance from the temple. It is still used though,for special occasions. To conserve water forever increasing number of pilgrims and therefore, the temple township, a dam was constructed across but the pilgrims, thus preserving the tradition, provided a bypass for bathing. It is believed that the holy waters of this place dissolve the sins of the devotees. Hence this place is known as Papavinashanam. A dam constructed here regulates the water flow.

The water in the Swami Pushkarini is absolutely NOT stagnant OR infected. It has a state-of-the-art recycling facility and water is treated before it gets into and recycled continuously. A bath in the Swami Pushkarini is believed to clean pilgrims of their sins and bestow temporal prosperity. Pilgrims bath here before entering the main temple. A bath in the holy tank purifies one's body and soul.
