temple

The Arulmigu Balathandayuthapani Temple

Waterfall hilltop temple is a Hindu temple. It is on the side of a hill and to gain access you must traverse rows and rows of steps. We had only just started the trek when we realised no one else was wearing shoes. We asked and were told you have to suffer a little to get to the top. It was great going barefoot. Very hot day so we scarpered from shadow to shadow before our feet combusted.

                                                       Almost to the top of the 511 stairs



We arrived before the priests started the ceremony so decided to stay. It was the most amazing feeling being there. We both felt it and want to go back at some stage without the rug rat. They played hypnotic music and bells were ringing. It felt good for the soul





You know you are a dad when your jokes get lame. I cant help but think the big guy looks handy. I cant stop it.











Another observation at the temple is everyone we spoke to were so nice and helpful. It is a special place. The photo below is not mine. I just think it does the temple more justice than my phone camera
