Hi friends, i recently visited vellingiri hill Shiva's temple. This Shiva temple is situated in top of mountain which is 6000 feets for sea level. The place vellingiri is 1.5 hrs. journey from coimbtore(Tmilnadu) bus stand. Vellingiri is also famous for dhyan lingam (ISHA YOGA CENTRE).To reach shiva temple one has to cross 7 hills spreading over 17.5 km & lots of up and down.
So here we go......................................................................................................
We were a group of 18 people from SVPITM. We started climbing the mountain around 11'0 clock in the night . But before climbing we had to leave our shoes as this is holy place & journey .Hmmm !!! in first 30 minutes i tired & thinking how can i climb because someone was saying it is just trailor we have to travel 3 more hrs. to climb to the top. Anyway i took little rest & restarted the journey. I was carrying bag loaded with water & biscuits. Al tough it was making tired us but it was so adventures also . Tracking in the moonlight with bare feet . wow!!! it was amazing.. First 3 hills were some more hot but as we reached next, it was feeling so cool that someone has started A.C.One cold spring was there. Devotee take bath there before going to temple. We enjoyed Black Tea before the finishing hill . Taking Black tea at the height of 5000 feet in the moon light around 2:30AM . I can never forget that moment. So, we reached the temple around 3:30 AM. We worshiped shiva . The temple is wonderful. Actually one very big rock is hanging on two adjacent rocks. I took one holy red color band form that place. We took rest around 45 minutes and started getting down. After finishing 60%, my leg started paining . It was hard to walk next step . So what to do.... I consoled myself this is your way & you have to finish this . So i concentrated on my strength and finally got down in the morning around 9'o clock . Women were touching our feet . I did not allow them to do that..
Please leave your feedback .........
