A RAY FROM THE SUN

As my Mother described it, "This is as if we are granted the Vishwarupa darshan of Lord Shiva at the end of Kaarthika maasam". Daddy was getting bored of staying indoors thanks to the chilling Bangalore weather and a stupid winter rain. He wanted to go some trip. The plans ranged from Udupi to Tirupathi to Dharmasthala and finally ended up doing a day picnic trip to a nearby shrines. The cab came by 7 am. 1/2 hr late. Noticeably the driver is quite formally dressed. we picked up the breakfast that Mom prepared and lot of chips and other junk. Went to Maratahalli to pick up my sister and brother-in-law. Then striaght towards KR puram, Hoskote, Kolar,Kammasandra. On the way, there is a small shrine in a valley called Antara Ganga where there is a perennial spring of water pouring from a Nandi statue mouth. Driver suggested that we go to that place while returning lest we get tired in the trek to that temple. Thought that was a good advice and proceeded directly to KotiLingeshwa...
