Shimra Siddhi Vinayaka Temple, Manipal

30, May 2009 Manipal

A small Vinayaka temple on the banks of river Swarna, near Manipal.

About two kilometer from my home, near to end point, Manipal, located a Ganesh temple on a scenic location. On one side the river Swarna flows with all its might and the other side is hillocks of Manipal. I took some time out from my monthly outing to Udupi to visit this temple along with my cousin. The route is not that perfect but manageable. A guest house of Manipal group is located nearby, which is having a big boat harbored next to it!!


We: Myself and my cousin Karunya.
Distance: 3km from Manipal TC circle.
Transport: My dads Honda Activa.

End Point: Not the end, just the beginning!

A new feather in the International Village Manipal. A brand new lawn clad garden with fountains and lighting, on the edge of End Point. A 3km walking track surrounds it with Gazebo in between. Two stadiums come next to it. But the human creation can never beat the nature: the mighty Suvarna River just flows down under majestically. The sea breezes bring with it the much needed relief for the humid weather of Coastal Summer.

After spending some time with my cousin, chikka and chikki, and hoping they will not spoil the area with more construction, we started our journey back.

The students around us brought the memories of my visit to this place with my M.Tech friends......

Distance: 5-7 Km from Udupi. 1-2 km from Manipal Bus Stand(TC)
