Hanuman Birthplace, Shabari Dham, Jay Shriram , Jay Jay Ram!

Today we are going to two places from Ramayan and I am happy to take you to the two great devotees of Bhagwan Ram. 


Let's go first to Anjaneya hill, the birthplace of Hanuman. This is in Anegundi area near Hampi in Karnataka state. This is believed to be the birthplace of Anjaneya, son of Anjani, i.e. Hanuman.


Though some more places in India are said to be birthplaces of Hanuman, this place being the birthplace of Hanuman sounds logical. Rishyamukh parvat is nearby. It is said that Sugreev, Hanuman and Bhagwan Ram met each other on Rishyamukh parvat.


Road from Hampi to Anjaneya hill is lined with natural beauty. Being on the banks of Tungabhadra river, this region is very fertile. On both sides you can see rice paddies, coconut trees, banana gardens and of course massive rocks which are typical of this region. This is said to be the Kishkindha region of the Ramayan period.


Rice paddy !

Bananas!!

Rice paddy quilt all over the place!

There is a motor-able road up to the foot of the hill. There are some small shops near the car park. You have to climb nearly 600 steps to reach the Hanuman temple. But that is made enjoyable by the picturesque view which you will see while climbing and the 'Jai Shreeram' slogans from the fellow climbers. 



awesome view from the stairs.


Being the birthplace of Hanuman, many devotees from all over the world come here to take Darshan of the Hanuman temple. Hanuman is the god of strength, knowledge and devotion. 


On the top there is a small Hanuman temple which has a Hanuman idol carved in rock.


Temple at the top!


Here be aware of the other species of Hanuman devotees, the monkeys. You will see lots and lots of monkeys everywhere. Don't tease them, they can be really aggressive. 


And the winner is...!!

Bo(u)lder View

From the top you can have a 360 degrees birds eye view of the Hampi area. If you are having a powerful binocular or camera, you can see the beautiful temples of Hampi as well. Let me tell you that Hampi is declared by Unesco as a world heritage site. 


Stones, rocks, boulders!

Field, river and city!

Pampa sarovar is near the Anjaneya hill, maybe around 5- 10 kms. This is the place of Matang rishi ashram where Shabari was waiting for Bhagwan Ram to come. She was a great devotee of Bhagwan Ram and for her whole life she took care of the Matang Rishi ashram and waited for the darshan of Bhagwan Ram

The name pampa sarovar comes from the name of Parvati who was meditating here. 


Pampa Sarovar

We can see some remains of an old temple in the form of some stone pillars, a Shiva temple, Parvati temple, Ganesha temple and Shabari cave/ Matang Rishi ashram.

They say that this sarovar looks more beautiful in the rainy season. We were there in the month of March and we were a bit disappointed by the size of Pampa Sarovar. In our Hampi stay we used to see the beautiful Kamalapur lake everyday. Being a reservoir it is considerably a large lake and so we were expecting that Pampa sarovar will be larger than Kamalapur lake and a really huge sarovar. Absence of the famous lotus flowers which are said to be there in Pampa sarovar was an added disappointment! 

We saw an interesting map in the temple. It showed places visited by Bhagwan Ram.

Nearby in the Anegundi village you can see Ranganatha Swamy temple with an interesting Vishnu idol in the sleeping posture. There is an old palace Gagan Mahal which we had to skip due to lack of time.

But we went to Anegundi fort. There are again many steps to climb. An old and famous Durga temple is there in the fort with a huge tree in front of it.

Beautifully Carved pillars in Durga Temple. 

There are some caves in the Anegundi fort. They say that Wali, the King of Kishkindha was in these caves for some time. 

If you climb some more distance from the caves you can see a very beautiful view of the surroundings.

All these places can be easily covered in half a day, of course depending upon your speed of climbing.

You get reasonably good quality and variety of vegan food in the restaurants. Though their set up was simple, the quality of food was good. They could make some vegan dishes on request.

This trip was in March 2018. We had stayed in a KSTDC hotel in Kamalapur, which was very conveniently located, just across the archeological museum and near the heritage area. The hotel was a decent one with its air conditioned rooms, a restaurant and a shop.

 

Our hotel in Kamalapur, Hampi. 


The archaeological museum is an excellent one and will take a day, if you want to really see the entire museum carefully. We could spend only a couple of hours in the museum.

So you may be a Bhagwan Ram devotee or just a tourist.

Trekker, Art connoisseur or archaeologist

Anjaneya Hill, Pampa Sarovar, Anegundi Fort

and archaeological museum will satisfy your quest.

Deoriatal - Chandrashila trek - Part 1 - Preparation

We dream… we dream about many things … but we strive to make only few of them a reality and leave the rest of the dreams as dreams only, to cherish them someday in our leisure time. A high altitude trek was one such dream of mine, always enthralling and yet a little daunting. So for years that dream remained a dream without becoming a reality. In November, my friend Dhanshree Jagtap did the Deoria Tal Chandrashila trek with Indiahikes. While chatting with her, I could get detailed information about this trek. She told that in March and April, rhododendron flowers will be blooming in this region … and the dormant dream was awakened once again. It is said that DeoriaTal is the lake where the famous Yaksha and Yudhishthira conversation had taken place. On the way to the summit, Tungnath is the highest temple of Shankara in the world, one of the Panch Kedars. It is said to have been built by the Pandavas. The summit point of the trek is Chandrashila. The place where Chandra did Tapas. It i...

Deoriatal Chandrashila trek - Part 2- - Sari to Deoriatal.

The next morning, the trek started with a steep climb!! At one point during the climb, we turned back and bade goodbye to the Sari base camp. It was not known whether we would successfully complete the trek or not. But I was sure that we will definitely come back with a life changing experience.   Sari Base camp  ЁЯУ╖ Supan Shah The road was paved with rough stones. But while climbing I was telling myself that these stones were better than walking in the slippery soil. ЁЯУ╖ Pawan Gowda You can guess how much the climb was, from this photo, but if you want to know how we were climbing, there is a video! рд╡िрдбिрдУ - рд╕рдо्рд░ाрдЯ рджрд░्рдбा https://youtube.com/shorts/CJuWDSml8XU?feature=share The initial, few meters part of the road passed through populated areas. But the houses there were very few and sparse. Green fields were visible everywhere. Farming was done on the mountain slopes, by step method. This greenery enlivened the entire slope.

Deoriatal Chandrashila trek - Part 3- Deoriatal to Syalmi

 That was the third day of the trek. I was feeling contented. Yesterday's journey from Sari to Deoria was beautiful. Neither  were   my legs paining  nor was I feeling  tired.  Today was surely going to be a tough day.  I had read the description on the Indiahikes website, which gave a rough idea about the day. Today the distance was more than nine kilometers. But there were many peaks which will be visible on the way. We were going to pass through a dense forest, so there was a chance to watch variety of birds. So I was curious and excited about the journey.  All of us, left from Deoriatal campsite and started our journey.  Even though we had only been there for a day, we had already grown attached to the place. Even if it has only been a day, surely there is always attachment with the place.There was a fork in the forest path on the left side of the road to Deoriatal. We went that way. After walking for a while, most likely we were goi...

Deoriatal Chandrashila trek - Part 5(Last part)- Baniyakund - Tungnath- Chandrashila

ЁЯУ╖Samrat Darda A beautiful photograph of the moon taken from Baniyakund campsite, April 15. That day should be Saptami or Ashtami of Shukla Paksha. Because Ram Navami was on 17th April. In the intense and tranquil darkness of the beautiful night, though the full moon day was still seven or eight days away, the moon was already bright. The shining moon, occasionally hiding behind the clouds, the curiosity of the summit in our minds.. it was a very unique night. There was going to be a two o'clock wakeup call tomorrow.  we had to pack up, have breakfast, and be ready to leave for the day at three o'clock.  I packed the essential things in the day pack and packed everything else in the bag to be offloaded. That bag was to kept in the main tent while leaving in the morning. Tomorrow, in few hours we would gain an altitude of 4000 ft. I closed my eyes to sleep, but even before my closed eyes, the images of the snow-capped peaks were floating.  I woke up at quarter to two in ...
