The Lodhi Gardens are a 90 acre city park in #NewDelhi, India. Named after the fifth and final dynasty of the #Delhi sultanate, the Lodhi's, the gardens were founded in the 20th century. The #LodhiGardens became the park they are now in the 1930s, when the wife of a British expat, Lady Willingdon, cleared two villages in order to landscape a park in the area containing Lodhi era (late 15th/early 16th century) tombs. The gardens were originally named after her, but after Indian Independence in 1947, they were renamed the Lodhi #Gardens.

The Govind Dev temple is one of the oldest temples present in #Vrindavan. The temple was built by Raja Maan Singh in the 16th century following an indo-islamic style of architecture which was prevalent at the time. The idol once enshrined here has a deep significance and was excavated by saint Chitanya Mahaprabhu’s disciple, later to be moved to a temple in #Jaipur for safety where it is present today.

Ganpati temple in #Kanipakam village, located in #Chittoor district of the Indian state of #AndhraPradesh Temple was established in the early 11th century CE by the Chola king Kulothunga Chola I and was enhanced even more in 1336 by the Emperors of Vijayanagara dynasty. Years ago there lived three brothers in a village near viharipura, one of them was blind, one deaf and the other dumb. One day they were drawing water from well and water dried out. Hense they started digging down and were shocked to see blood oozing from the ground. On further excavation it was found to be "UDHBHAVA GANAPATI SWAMY" Brothers worshipped ganapa and got rid of their physical defects. Whole village worshipped ganapathi by offering coconuts. The coconut water started flowing into a stream, to a distance of more than one and a quarter acres. This phenomenon led to the coinage of the word "KANIPAKAM" where "Kani"means wetland and "Pakam" means flow of water into wetland. *The waters of the holy well never dry up *Lord Vinayak idol of Kanipakam is reportedly growing in size with the passage of time. Currently, only the knees and abdomen of the idol are visible. Old silver kavachas wont fit him now. *Another interesting aspect of Kanipakam is the Bahuda River, that flows near vinayaka temple. Two brothers 'sanaka' and 'likitha' were travelling to kanipakam for piligrimage. Likitha gave in for hunger and without permission plucked a mango from nearby farm. Duty bound sanaka informed this to local king. As a punishment,king chopped of likithas arm. Later.. on reaching temple and taking holy dip in well/kalyani , likitha got his arms back. Soon after this incident, the ruler of that place named the river as Bahuda Bahu means arms and Da means giver.. Do visit π€ and be blessed.
