We planned for 2-3 days trip this time to cover Sri Lakshmi Narasimha Swamy Temple @ Kadiri, Gandikota, Uma Maheshwara Swamy Temple @ Yaganti and Lakshmi Narasimha Swamy Temple @Ahobilam

From Kadiri we heard that there is a world's largest banyan tree called Thimmamma Marrimanu which is 25KM from here. So thought of visiting that place as well.

Thimmamma Marrimanu, Kadiri:







Most of us do not know about the place called Gandikota which is near by Jammalamadugu. After reading various fellow travellers articles about this place finally we visited the most scenic view of the Gandikota.

on the way we found this beautiful sunflower garden.

Gandikota: The grand canyons of India

Its already 6pm so we started off from Gandikota to Banaganapalli and stayed there. Next day morning visited 'Yaganti'.

Uma Maheswara Swamy Temple, Yaganti:

This is one of the famous and must be visited temple. Such a beautiful place there are lot many places within the temple surroundings to explore. The most importantly Yaganati Basavanna, Agasthya guha, Shankara guha, Sri pothuluri Veera Bhrammam gari guha and swayambhu Umameshwara temple.

This is the only temple in the world where Lord was not in the form of Linga and diety was along with parvathy devi in a single shrine which is a rare and we can touch the god by having the archana pooja. There are huge number of monkeys all over this place and if anyone carries any kind of cover(s) they will take it from devotees....
