A Peaceful Temple Visit to Mantralaya

-



Our New Year family trip began on a spiritual note with a temple visit to Mantralaya 😇. Since our group was big, we decided to travel together by booking a sleeper coach bus. We were 18 members, and it felt like we had booked almost the entire bus for ourselves — lots of fun and excitement right from the start 😄.



🚌 Journey from Bengaluru

Mantralaya is located about 400 km from Bengaluru, and the journey usually takes 9 to 10 hours, depending on traffic and breaks.
We boarded our bus from Majestic at 8:00 PM and, with minimal stops, reached Mantralaya early in the morning around 4:00 AM 🌙✨.

We had pre-booked our rooms, which really helped. After freshening up, we headed straight to Rayara Matt for darshan around 5:30 AM.

I was truly surprised to see how much the place has changed since my last visit. The temple corridors are completely rebuilt and look beautiful, clean, and well-organized 🏛️✨. Even though it was early morning, the crowd was huge! Thankfully, we completed our darshan within one hour and felt truly blessed 🙏.



🛕 Other Temples & Sightseeing

After darshan, we visited the Panchamukhi Anjaneya Temple, which is about 20 km from Mantralaya. We returned by 2:00 PM, had lunch, and took some rest 😌.

In the evening, we spent time near the Tungabhadra River, enjoying a beautiful sunset 🌅 and clicking memorable pictures 📸.




Later, we went again for darshan and spent time walking around the temple complex, soaking in the divine atmosphere.









We also visited nearby temples like:

Shri Lakshmi Venkateswara Swamy Temple: 


Shri Anjaneya Swamy Temple: 



Shri Mariyamma Temple: 



One of my favorite spots was the Kalyani (temple pond) next to the temple 💙. It looked stunning during the day and absolutely magical at night under the lights ✨🌙. We visited it multiple times just to admire its beauty.



Our visit to Mantralaya was peaceful, divine, and truly memorable. The spiritual vibes, well-developed temple surroundings, and time spent with family made this trip extra special 🙏💖.

Until the next journey… stay blessed and keep traveling! 🚗✨

There are lot of historical places around Namma Bengaluru, one such place is Bheema Bakasura betta which is around 70 Kms from Bengaluru. This hill is located in a small village called Kaiwara, Chikkaballapura district. This place is more famous for many other temples say Kaiwara Tatayya temple, Amaranarayana Swamy Temple & Bhemmalingeshwara Temple.   History of Kaiwara betta: Kaiwara also has various stories attached to Ramayana & Mahabharata. Mythology has it that Bhima killed Bakasura during the exile period of the Pandavas when they stayed at Kaiwara. From past one year I have covered most of the hills around Chintamani and this was pending in the list. One weekend we started this trek early morning (just to avoid the heat). From Chitamani this hill is around 12 Kms and takes approximately 20 mins to reach.   There is plenty of parking place near Amaranarayana Swamy Temple, one should park their vehicles near this temple. A  small walk in the narrow road oppos...

Kabbalu betta trekking is one of the options for the hikers around bengaluru and located near Kanakapura talluku. Its   around 80Kms from Bengaluru. We have couple of options to reach Kabbalu:  Bangalore > Ramnagar > Chenpatna > Kabbalu (82 KMs) Bangalore > Kanakapura > Satanuru >Kabbalu (87 Kms) I had been to this place many times before but could not get a change to trek this hill, it is one of the best places for those who wish to start trekking.  Since it’s a last minute plan, could not invite anyone for this trekking. But the special thing about this trekking is my brother Kiran joined me for this trekking. It was the first trekking with my brother.  Just to escape from the weekend traffic and the heat we started early morning around 6.00AM from Bengaluru and took Kanakapura Road to reach our destination. Even though it’s a single road the drive was awesome, last night rain added more beauty to the surrounding environment. ...

Mawsawdong Falls

We kicked off our day in Cherrapunji with excitement, ready to explore some amazing spots nearby. Our first stop was Mawsmai Caves , one of the popular attractions in the area. The cave isn’t too long, but it’s packed with interesting spots and unique formations. This little adventure set the tone for the rest of our day. To get to Mawsawdong Falls, we drove a short distance from our earlier stops. The path to the falls took us through small villages, scenic hills, and patches of thick green forest, giving us a glimpse of the peaceful countryside. Once we arrived, we followed a short, easy trail that led us down to the waterfall. The water flowed gracefully over the rocks, creating a beautiful cascade. Unlike some of the bigger waterfalls in the area, Mawsawdong has a calm and peaceful vibe. The falls flow into a clear, natural pool below, with rocks and trees surrounding the area. It’s a perfect spot to relax and soak in the beauty of nature. As we explored Mawsawdong Falls, we came a...
