My weekend trip to Kalahasti is another memorable trip. I started on saturday evening by bus along with mom and niece. we reached there by 8.pm and went to my aunt's place. resting in their house that night.

| Nandiyavattai / Crape Jasmine |
My Niece plucked few crape jasmine flowers from the plant in my Aunt house and we offered those flowers to god and made our prayers before leaving to temple.
On the way to temple we also went to another small temple which is named as Bangaramma temple. adjacent to the temple there is a Gigantic statue of Hanuman.which made me to click the pic.
