Mountains High and Valley Low!

Album - because there's beauty everywhere

I’ve been to Srisailam last weekend. I thought it would be more of a religious trip given that Srisailam, situated in Andhra Pradesh, is renowned as the abode of Lord Shiva. But to my surprise, from high mountains to low valleys, divinity was found almost everywhere at Srisailam; not just at the temples. I managed to take a few pictures during the ~24 hours I spent there. Check ‘em out!

If you're a biker, you should totally try riding on these ghat roads!

Once you enter the Temple area of Srisailam, you'll find a lot of people clad in saffron clothes like these.

Ancient and beautiful! Apparently, the temple dates back to 14-15th century. You cannot miss the beautiful detail on each carving inside.
The main entrance.
Apart from regular hotels, I found a few women selling idli-dosa near the main Temple. One such lady invited us over for some delicious breakfast. This caught my eye at her home!
