Cheenu's Visit To....: kukkatpally

Hi to all dears and nears....

From the time I landed at Hyderabad in Feb.2011, I was assuring Shri Parthasarathy, of a Google Group, residing at RAINTREE PARK - MALAYSIAN TOWNSHIP that I would be visiting a day to his house. But some how the visit did not materialise.

On 3rd evening finally I made a visit to enjoy the fine hospitality of Parthasarathy Couple. The township where Shri Parthasarathy lives, looks like a separate world - High end security, recreation clubs of different level, reading rooms separately for senior citizens, restaurants, swimming pool, tennis court, music class rooms, medicine shops, clinics, super market and AASARA's room [after a gap of around 8 years had an opportunity to try my skill in carrom board - not bad could do well in patches].

Opposite to the Complex lies a small mount called GOVARDHANA GIRI, on its top is the Temple for "Sri Mahavishnu Swaroopa Venugopalaswamy".

Whatta fortunate soul I am.. to see the Lord Krishna I was taken in Maruthi by "Parthasarathy" as SARATHY.

GOVARDHANA GIRI is a small rocky mount with rough and non-metaled road. Vehicles can go up to the top. Few stop half way and climb the small stair way to reach top. As the way and the surroundings of the temple are to yet to be developed the Bhaktas can really feel the song of Ayyappa Bhaktas "kallum mullum kaalukku medhai..... the stones and thorns are like mattress".

I was given to understand that in 2007 during development of the area, this mount with small idol of Lord Venugopal was found and later on the asthigas started the work and in the year 2009 the present structure of the temple came up.

Those who wish to have Darshan of Sri Venugopalaswamy can visit during evening so that the weather is cool and after sun set to see the colorful Hyderabad.

Some of the pics are for your visual treat. Till next... bye bye have nice days....
