Sri Ranganatha temple - Sri Rangapattana

Sri Rangapattana which is around 130 km from Bangalore towards Mysore and is just about 15 km before Mysore. This is one of the oldest temple. Sri Ranganatha is in sleeping posture on snake bed.

It takes about 2-2.5 hours from Bangalore and nice drive on Mysore highway.

Below are some snaps of the temple.











Sri Mahalakshmi Golden Temple at Vellore, Tamilnadu

Sri Mahalakshmi Golden Temple at Vellore, Tamilnadu is very wide in area (around 300 acres). In the temple premises, you can find restaurent, huge car parking, rooms for stay and shops. Everything (either temple, restaurent, rooms, garden, etc) is cleanly maintained.

Good for week end trip (either one or two days). It is advised to see both in day time and evening time with lights. It is around 220 km from Bangalore towards Hosur, Krishnagiri road. Need to go till Vellore and them 8 km inside towards Sripuram when the temple exists. The road is very nice as complete travel in NH7 and NH46. Nice drive with nice views. It will take about 4 hours to reach with 80-100 kmph.

The photography and mobile are not allowed completely and hence could not able to take the snaps. But below website provide all the details.
