Devoted to lord Vaikuntha Venkatesh, the new Rangji temple is amongst the most ancient temples in all of #Pushkar. The temple is acknowledged for its mesmerizing architectural design including the high rising Gopuram, a composition which is common amongst several South Indian temples followed by an enormous entrance. The temple, through its layout also carries the essence of Mughal architecture as well. Bowing inside the temple, we find it's four corners embedded with Garuda, signifying the presence of Vaikuntha Venkatesh. Among the temple exists sections of other temples, specifically eight in number, that are dedicated to various gods including Goddess Laxmi and Lord Krishna among others. The presence of a priest at the temple is always mandatory and they act as a caretaker of the new Rangji temple. Visitors can also indulge in prayers and 'puja' sessions at the temple which is carried out every day. The serene atmosphere and delightful architecture of the temple have made it one of the most visited places among tourists in the holy town of Pushkar. The temple is particularly crowded with tourists during the Pushkar fair, a holy celebration that is celebrated every year during the Kartik period. All in all, devotees and tourists who find delight in architectural elegance should definitely pay a visit to the charming New Rangji temple. It is family-friendly and takes more than an hour to explore it completely which makes it a promising destination for weekend getaways with family and friends. There are also various eateries and snack shops near the temple place for visitors to enjoy a good meal.

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 πŸ€— and be blessed.
