Continuing form Part -1
Well, after a tremendous trek in ThaDiyanDamol we headed towards BhagamanDala. Actually, we missed an ancient palace on the foot hills of ThaDiyanDamol, later on while coming back from BhagamanDala we visited this palace i.e, the Nalknad Palace. Here is one click of the palace,
There were no entrance fees as of such but a security guard will guide you through the palace and it's your wish to offer him some money if you find it worth listening him :). While entering the palace you find a marriage mantapa, the below pic
which was built by the king on the occasion of his sister's marriage. A visit to this palace is must thou you are not allowed to take photos inside the palace. Then we started towards visiting Iguthappa temple and will blog about it my next series.
Now, coming back to BhagamanDala, as said in the first part of the blog we very so tired that we were looking out for some eateries to feed ouselves. At last we found one and grabbed all the snacks available and started towards BhagamanDala. By then, Raghava had called the Kashi mutt in BhagamanDala and booked us a room. Here is the entrance pic of the Kashi Mutt,
The rooms were good and well under our budget. After boarding the room we went to Sangama where 3 rivers [Kaveri, Kanika and Sujyothi] confluence and we had our bath there. Then, there was some mouth watering dishes waiting for us for the lunch, the mutt officials served the lunch on the plantain leaves. We were so eager to have everything and at last all we had was the empty plantain leaves at the end of our meal course :) really the food was finger licking :).
By then, it was around 4:00 PM and we all took a small nap and woke up at 5:00 and started towards Talakaveri, it's the holy place where river Kaveri originates. Here is one pic of the ugamasthaLa [In English: birthplace],
Even though we were not allowed to take the pics inside, we some how able to click one of them while the guards diverted their attention towards other public. There is a small hill within the vicinity of the temple which has around 150 steps to reach the top.
We spent some time there and it was getting dark so started heading back to Kashi mutt. Raghava and Rajesh witnessed the night Pooja @ BhanganDeshwara temple which is very near to the mutt. Myself and Rag fall asleep as soon as we were back from Talakaveri. The dinner was served in the mutt @ around 9:00PM and we all went to bed.
The next day morning was awesome out there with all the fog, but the rest rooms in the mutt were all occupied by the tourists who boarded the mutt that early morning. So, we went to Sangama again for having bath. It was a chill morning and just imagine how cold the water would be but without second thought I, Raj and Rag jumped in and had our bath, it was a great experience for us. Raghava a wise fellow who woke up early and finished all his activities in the mutt itself :).
Then we visited the Bhagandeshwara temple and here is one click of it,
You can reach Kashi mutt on dialing the following numbers,
+917676515357
+919481961398
After having lord Shiva's darshana we headed towards Nalknad palace, the place which we missed in ThaDiyanDamol. Then we thought of visiting Iguthappa temple, Iguthappa is the other name for Lord Shiva and he's worshiped by all the Kodavas. Will blog about it in my next post....Bye :)
