New Place - New Experience

Heard of Golden Temple ? hmm.. yes.. Amritsar... hmmm... but now we have one more that is the Sripuram temple - South Indian Golden temple of Godess Lakshmi that is located at Tirumalaikodi around 8kms from Vellore of Tamil Nadu. The temple is very beautifully constructed.

The entire temple is in gold

The path to reach the temple is in the star shape of around 1.5 - 2 kms long. Preachings of Gita, Bible and Khuran have been written on display boards on either side of the path (Blue arrows path into the temple and pink path out of the temple)

There is water around the temple and in the night due to the lights, the temple reflection is seen in that water.

The temple was initiated by Narayani Amma, (31yrs old person) and constructed by seeking donations from people. The total area is around 100 acres and a cost of more than rupess 300 crores was spent. The estimate is around 600 crores once the entire project is completed. The temple was open for darshan in august 2007.

It is a very noble and wonderful gift to the mankind.
