ECR- An exotic drive !

More than 2 years now since I had gone for long drives with my parents. The last long weekend was a good chance that I made use of to bring back the old memories of the happy long drives with dad and mom. This time it was the ECR and the temples along the way. Lots of pit-stops along the ECR. The vibrant Bay of Bengal was all along her way with us. The old VGP ( people still visit it), MGM, Crocodile park, Mayajaal, Puri Jagannath temple, Thirunindravur , Muttukaadu, Kovalam , Thirunindravoor and lot to go. We visited the SaiBaba temple at Krishnan Karanai, a small village 10kms before Mahabalipuram. Too good a place to forget oneself and get the blessings of the Almighty! The gorgeous Ganesha made of marble welcomes us into the temple. There is a long pathway leading to the big meditation hall with a statue of SaiRam looking divinely at us. What an atmosphere it is! Truely Amazing! After the huge meditation hall, is a small place that houses "Lord Meru". Then we can see the Dwarakamai and the need tree which further add to the beauty of the place. The whole place is called the "Lendi Gardens" named after the Lendi Bagh in Shirdi. It was a real amazing experience visiting the temple. Best place to get a good peace of mind. Do visit when u find time !
