Srisailam - a Temple Hill




Happy New Year ...This is the first blog in new year after a looooooooooong break. I was in Hyderabad and visited Srisailam - LORD Shiva's Temple. This is one of the 12 famous (Dwadasa Jyorlingas) Shiva Temples in the country. Some of them are Kashmir -Amarnath, Somanath (gujrat), Kasi etc...  It is almost 80KM hilly and ghat road drive, about 200Km from Hyderabad. A very nice location surrounded by hills and a small dam. I also liked  the Shivaji memorial, which is built there, believe Shivaji the Maratha king visited this place and blessed with a sword to fight the invaders.
