Malleshwaram - Nandi Kalyan Temple

Nandi Kalyan Temple is situated in Temple street.We walked ( I and Usha) from Circle Mariamman Temple to Nandi-Kalyan Temple.We Passed through Kadu Malleshwara Temple and Lakshmi Narasimha Swamy Temple.

Entrance of Nandi Kalyan Temple was impressive with Floral Decorations.(I think the Day before that was Pradosham,I am not sure of it).As we enter we cannot see any temple.There were Grass,Flowers,Some Stone Benches,Butterflies,Birds,off Course People and No temple!!!!

Atmosphere was so calm,Serene and Beautiful.

After we walk Past all the Beautiful Courtyard/Garden,We entered in through a small Gate.and What do we see,A Beautiful Water Tank.

As we Went through the Prakara,we saw the Priest (Gurrukal ) and asked him about the specality of the temple.

He said Nandi is special there.Water Comes from Mouth of Nandi and later on Passes through the brass Abhisheka Vessel kept above Shiva and water falls drop by drop onto shiva's head.(I think now you can picturise the scene).After the Abhishekam,water Goes towards the Water Tank.

Beauty is, Nobody knows where the water comes from.He said water comes even at the peak of Summer.

Shiva linga was Small but Nandi was big Compared to Linga.

When we entered the Temple,It started to Drizzle.

Open Water Tank.

Drizzles in the Water Tank.

Water Turtles.(I saw them for the First Time)

Slow soothing Chant from Audio Cassette Shop in Temple.

We just sat there silently,watching the Tank and Rain.

Effect was Great and equivalent to Nirvana.
