点评:I have been meaning to visit this temple for a long time. I had always heard people rave about the scenic beauty of the place and the spiritual aura of the temple. We were in Sakleshpur for the winter break and used the opportunity to visit the temple for a day trip en route to Dharmasthala. We took the Bangalore mangalore highway - the road seemed to be in disrepair in that stretch and vehicle movement was hard due to ghats section. Since we chose to drive very early in the morning we didn’t face too many traffic challenges. We took a left turn towards Kukke on the bandadka-bengaluru road which was quite scenic with dense green foliage on both sides for a majority of the duration. The temple town is small and charming and in the early hours the crowd was thin. We could notice a few devotees doing Anga Pradakshina ( devotees roll lying on the road from far distance to the temple premises ). There was a makeshift tent arrangements for an upcoming event. The main temple structure seemed very familiarly Dravidian architecture with its majestic Gopura towering towards the skies flanked by the verdant green hills. After depositing our footwear we headed to the darshan.
Given the time of the day we were lucky to queue up and have our darshan in a relatively quick time. The crowd was well behaved and the processes were all well organized leading to a peaceful spiritual experience.
The interiors of the temple premise has a bit of a feel of a Kerala temple with lots of wood and tiles. Overall it was a super pleasant experience and I recommend people to add this to their list of places to visit when in the area
翻译:我很早就想去参观这座寺庙了。我一直听到人们赞叹这个地方的风景秀丽和寺庙的精神气息。我们在 Sakleshpur 过寒假,并利用这个机会在前往达玛斯塔拉 (Dharmasthala) 的途中参观了这座寺庙。我们走的是班加罗尔芒格洛尔高速公路——那段路似乎年久失修,而且由于高止山脉路段,车辆行驶很困难。由于我们选择一大早开车,所以没有遇到太多的交通挑战。我们在班达卡-班加罗尔路上左转朝库克方向行驶,这条路风景优美,大部分时间两边都是茂密的绿色树叶。寺庙小镇小而迷人,清晨人群稀少。我们可以注意到一些信徒在做 Anga Pradakshina(信徒们躺在路上打滚,从很远的地方来到寺庙)。为即将举行的活动安排了一个临时帐篷。主寺庙的结构看起来非常熟悉德拉威建筑,其雄伟的哥普拉高耸入云,两侧是青翠的山丘。寄存鞋子后,我们前往达显。
鉴于一天中的时间,我们很幸运能够排队并在相对较快的时间内获得我们的达显。人群表现良好,整个过程都组织得很好,带来了平静的精神体验。
寺庙建筑的内部有很多喀拉拉邦寺庙的感觉,有很多木材和瓷砖。总的来说,这是一次超级愉快的体验,我建议人们在该地区时将其添加到他们的游览地点列表中
