Hey people, how are you all doing? Sorry for this long gap... My brother had come from US and I was down with viral fever :( and then my parents came to bangalore :)
Our first trip was a visit to a hill temple in outskirts of coimbatore - that hill is called Palamalai - even though it was a temple visit the place was a good one. We drove in our car till the adivaram and then from there took jeep to the hill top.
View from the top of the hill showing nearby hills:
Temple on the hill:
Beautiful moon that showed up this way for three or odd days:
Then we went to Trichy - the trip was full of temples yet here again it was a different trip. First place was my mom's side village temple[grama devadhai kovil]. Unlike other temples this temple is only for the people who belong to that village so even though it wont be very small temple we can hardly find people in there coz it belongs only to that village people :) when we went only we were there :). The temple was surrounded by beautiful vayalgal[gives a good feel to tell that in tamil] and coconut trees and has its own pond.View of the temple along with the trees:
A kingfisher on the temple pond:

Then we visited other famous temples like malaikottai, srirangam, thiruvanaikkaval. From malaikottai view of the srirangam gopuram was stupendous.
Train running parallel to a road bridge over cauvery:

We seem to have a good lot of trip treats more than any others
@Senthil: Ya much better now :) naan enna panna all coz of my mom n brother :( I am fond of going to temples but not this much. I feel God is there everywhere not just inside a temple so ;)

Kalai arukkum means the grains are fully grown and are ready to be taken out and send for the storage place.
