The Golden Temple at Sripuram

Lush gardens, fountains, sculptures, words-of-wisdom-signboards, nice lighting, and, of course, the stunning inner sanctum island of gold, shining bright from top to bottom.

Too bad we went there in the daytime, my Mom told me it was an amazing spectacle at night. In any case, a place worth visiting even if you are not religious. Chalk it up on your calendar if you are ever near Vellore.


Cheers
Prashanth.

I recognize the wonderful gift that freedom is. My way of showing my love to my girlfriend / wife / children will be through freedom, and not by possessiveness or protectiveness. Temper freedom with guidance, not with rules.

An rrrrr post? Whats an rrrrr post? Ok madam I will try... and your fiance already told me that you said "No inconsistencies" in the middle of some conversation but he was too busy laughing to tell me why it was funny...

Now why are you quoting me on this freedom thing now...? I understand little, but I am glad if I helped in any way...

I can imagine it would have been wonderful ... the type of place I would love to visit!

I fail to understand why anyone prohibits taking photos of flowers!?!

@intern... no offense meant...but I was kinda happy they don't let us take pics coz its a beauty u have to see and experience not capture and keep it locked in a pic. I say this coz i find myself to involved in taking pics that I miss out the depth of happiness I have to experience.
well again...that's personal opinion
