The most interesting part of my summer journey. The forest road towards the temple was extremely scenic and quite and it was raining while we drove towards the temple. Reaching there, and doing our routine prayers, we found that it was time for arathi and special pooja. So, with all the devotees we waited patiently and did not give much attention to the little temple elephant stationed inside. As soon as the temple bell rang, I noticed some changes in the elephant and then it became more prominent as the intensity of the ringing increased. As it was dancing, it held on to the bell tied on its neck and was ringing it to the tune of the music played by the musicians.
The temple is specially famous for removing sarpa dosha. Sachin Tendulkar visited this temple and performed special poojas one or two years ago when he was doing badly in cricket. Many others too visit for progeny.
I don’t want to miss sharing a wonderful experience with you all. The temple is very famous and often visited by celebrities.
To read more about the temple, visit: Kukke Subramanya temple Kukke subramanya can be reached by road from Mangalore and Bangalore .KSRTC operates buses on a daily basis from these two places. The nearest airport is the the Bajpe Airport, the Mangalore International Airport, at a distance of 115 kms. The nearest railway station is Subramanya Road (SBHR) railway station on Mangalore-Bangalore railway route, which is 7 km from Kukke Subramanya. There is a daily passenger train service from Mangalore (Train No. 061/0652). The train leaves Mangalore at 10:30 a.m. and reaches Subrahmanya Road Railway Station by 1:00 p.m. One can catch a local transport from the station for a journey of 15 minutes to the temple (approx Rs. 20 per head).

Photo Speaks – UAE on Summer Holidays
A casual walk through various streets of Abu Dhabi shows us that people have already moved for their summer holidays. Nature – dust and sand storms – does not know the problems these owners may face when they return. It is very likely that many of these vehicles, if noticed by authorities, will be fined and taken away.

A signal break – i.e. a short wait at the traffic signal gave me an opportunity to take these photos. Ever ready as they as, like the 007 of the James Bond, my Sony T series camera comes handy many times. The photos below are the results of a sleek camera and an interest to explore the nature.

Scene from the Madinat Zayed Shopping complex area on a Saturday morning. I was surprised to see many people lost in thoughts or problems at that time of the morning. Have to explore more on this some other times.
