Bhoganandishwara Temple near Nandi hills, Bangalore.

On my daytrip to Nandi Hills, we stopped at a temple near the hill. It was really worth it. The temple was really beautiful, and well-preserved.

This is a twin temple built side by side. The north one is dedicated to Bhoganandishwara and the south shrine to Arunachaleshwara. This is one of the tanks in the temple. The place was awesome. I could have spent a day there.

There are all kinds of green. But I still remember the Tea Green on the hills of Coonoor, India, on a foggy day. .... "Tea Green" or "Green Tea", I wonder!

India is a mystery

... shrouded in an enigma ... (and some fog helps the cause, too).

Around the hilly town of Coonoor in Southern India, there are some surreally beautiful tea-gardens that are wrapped in fog for long times in a year. I happened to be there at the "Dolphin's Nose" near Coonoor couple of weeks back, and the beauty of the place after a fresh rain shower, and the fog wafting in from the valley below, was too overwhelming to be captured in camera. I tried, but you really need to be there to soak it all in, literally. The road to this place is difficult in places, but its all worth it once you get there.

India is wild

India remains wild at heart. Places like these are still around, especially in the Western Ghat region of India. It could be a challenge getting there, but may be thats the allure of such places.

During my visit around Coonoor in Southern India, I saw abundant rain, mist and fog and clouds. All that made the place magical. The look of clouds lifting up from the deep valley below is always breathtaking. Dont take my word for it. Get out there and see it for yourself!
