Lakshmi Narsimhaswamy Temple - M. Turakkapally

While browsing the places in Google maps, noticed a temple located on top of a hill. So decided to go there. Its a rainy Sunday, we started our trip towards that place with the help of  "Google Thalli"☺.

It was marked as 'Laxmi Narasimhswamy' Temple in Google Maps. We took a right from Shamirpet ORR junction. A slight drizzling make us very comfortable and the climate was so good. Also the Bonalu festival is celebrated across the Telangana state.

The road is very neat no traffic. The recent rains in this regions make the nature completely green.

We reached the temple around 12.30, this temple is located near to the Kesera-Yadagirikutta road.
Initially we struggled to find the way to reach the top of the hill., later we found a rough way to find the entrance. We saw only 3 aged people sitting near to the temple entrance. They told us that the priest just left the temple after morning pooja. So nobody was there in that temple.

So, we started climbing each steep steps. My driver able to walk fast, he is 50Kg weight only ., I am 95+ So it tough for me to climb, but the eagerness to see the god make me to walk fast.

In between we took some nice scenery photos.

Shamirpet Lake

Today we went to Shamirpet Lake, which is 30 Km away from Hyderabad. Many times I crossed this lake but today got some time to explore this place. 

Shamirpet has become a hotspot in the city with several resorts coming up in the vicinity. The lake itself has become a popular place to spend evenings, bird watching and for the more adventurous rock climbing.

Recent rains in this region increased the water level of this Lake. There are some narrow paths if you drive carefully means then you can park your car near to the lake bed.

It was wonderful experience when we heard the sounds of waves hit the rocks., it was amazing. All your stress, unnecessary worries will go away when you visit these kind of god's own places.

The highway passes along the banks of the lake and there is a very famous temple dedicated to Katta Maisamma, a local Goddess, just beside the road. People throng the temple on weekends and offer the god a goat, a hen or a bottle of liquor.

The recent rains had turned the place green and brought in a lot of people who were out enjoying the weather. You can hear and see the dancing and singing waves of Shamirpet Lake.
