Chamunda Mata Temple Shakti Peeth (Pictures and Detail)

On the foot of dhauladhar hills in Kangra district, we can find the Chamunda Mata Temple. This temple is just 19 KM away from Palampur and 25 KM away from Kangra and it is situated on the Dharamshala - Palampur highway. It is a very famous temple of Maa Chamunda and every year millions of devotees visit this place from different parts of India. The temple is situated in a very beautiful location and we can find an ancient Shivalinga beneath a big rock. At present, this temple is going through the work of renovation for the last few years and we can hope to see the completion of work fast.

During the Navratras, we can see a great rush of devotees. The Chamunda Mata Temple is considered one of the 51 Shakti Peeths present in India and it is the main reason for so many devotees to come to this temple. The name of the Maa Chamunda is derived from the names of two demons 'Chanda' and 'Munda' who Maa Chamunda killed, therefore, got this name. This temple is located on the bank of a small river called Baner.

At one point, this temple complex was considered the most beautiful and well maintained. However, recent unplanned renovation work is causing a lot of trouble and it has destroyed the past glory of the temple. The main attraction of the temple is the idol of the Goddess which has its own spiritual vibes and you feel blessed after visiting the main temple. The other attraction is ancient Shivlinga situated below a big rock and at this place, we can't barely stand here.

Overall, it is a historical temple and it is associated with the religious beliefs of many people. I hope that the renovation work of the temple will be finished soon.

To Village Showad, Anni (Kullu) by Nalagarh-Arki-Basantpur-Luhri road (Pictures and Videos on the way)

Last time, I shared my experience of the journey to Shimla through Nalagarh-Ramshehar-Kunihar road . Today, I will discuss with you the Nalagarh-Arki-Basantpur-Luhri road which offers a great thrill to adventure seekers. I have been to Nalagarh many times but I traveled on the Nalagrah-Arki-Basantpur-Luhri stretch for the first time. Nalagarh-Ramshehr-Kunihar road is also a delight for adventure seekers because it is a single road and offers some challenges to drivers. However when we take a turn to Arki and moves towards Basantpur then the level of excitement increases many times. I started from Ropar and moved on NH 205 till Ghanauli and then took turns to Nalagarh road. The condition of this road from Ghanauli to Himachal entry point is very bad and then after the road is fine. After reaching Nalagarh, I took the State highway no. 16 towards Ramshehar. It is a single road but the works for its widening are taking place simultaneously. From Ramshehar, I continued on the S...

Security Concerns on Vacations

We all love to enjoy peaceful and secure vacations. Around the world, there are many good and attractive vacation locations available for the people; however, at some locations security remains a major concern. Though every country works hard to provide safe and secure vacations to tourists; however, it is important for tourists to learn well about place where they are planning to spend a vacation. In developing or under developed nations sometimes situations even become worse without any warning. Therefore, it makes no fun to choose a vacation location which fails to provide proper security and sometimes, this approach can take fatal look. People can easily reduce most of security risks and worries by studying well about place and planning vacations in time when everything is peaceful in that nation. It is also important to book quality and well known hotels for stay because these hotels take good security measures as compared to other general budget hotels. While travelling with fami...

Recently, I stayed in one of guest houses run by TTD (Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams) in Tirumala. I did online booking for a single room under Rs 500 category from their online booking website www.ttdsevaonline.com. After reaching Tirumala, I did not get any problem in getting a room and system was very smooth so I got room allotment in just 5 minutes. Rooms under this category are average and can accommodate 2 to 5 people. In these rooms, TTD provide two beds with full bedding, two chairs and attached bathroom with Geyser. Room was clean when I entered my room; however, geyser in bathroom was not working plus pillows were not completely clean. Otherwise, it was one of best and economical arrangement available in front of people for stay in Tirumula.
