Guhagar is primarily known for its virgin beaches. Unlike the other beaches in Maharashtra where the sand is a mixture of black and white particles, Guhagar is said to have white sandy beaches. Guhagar is one of the most prominent upcoming tourist destinations in Maharashtra. The main reason of this popularity is due to the fact that the sea at Guhagar beach is not considered to be rough thus making the beach a very safe place for families with children. A lot of tourists thus can venture out into the sea for a bath. A lot of shacks and small eateries have come up around the beach. Guhagar is also known as a temple town.

It is on the left side of the road, road is a bit confusing we asked some guys about the route. We traveled for 15 to 20 mins on a small road. We found many auto rickshaws and bullock carts in this way.We passed through a small railway station on our left side.Name of that station is Jogulamba halt. Then we confirmed that we were in a correct route. We reached Alampur in 2 hours. There are 3 temples to see in Alampur.

Many people believe that Uttarayana is very good season.Legend Bheeshma (Grand father of both Pandavas and Kauravas) wanted to die only in this Uttarayana and for that he waited for nearly 21 days on the bed of arrows. I can say that this is a festival of Farmers ( of course all the people celebrate this festival). It was very good when I was in the school because we used to get 15 days holidays for this festival.Ladies put rangoli in front of their houses for one month during this season. They decorate this rangoli very well. People celebrate this festival for 3days. 1.Bhogi 2.Sankranthi 3.Kanuma Bhogi: First of these 3 days is Bhogi.Andhra Pradesh]]> Makar Sankranti]]> Sankranthi]]> telugu]]> south india]]> crops]]> celebrations]]> recreation]]> holy cow]]> http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/Makara-Sankranthi--pongal--In-India/3663074 Wed, 15 Feb 2012 07:02:36 -0500 http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/Makara-Sankranthi--pongal--In-India/3663074 Bandipur national park]]> bandipur national park resorts]]> band]]> http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/Wildlife-Laws-Ignored-For-The-Religious-Event-At-Bandipur-National-Park/3663032 Wed, 15 Feb 2012 06:56:20 -0500 http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/Wildlife-Laws-Ignored-For-The-Religious-Event-At-Bandipur-National-Park/3663032 Iskcon Temples]]> Kanpur]]> Lord Krishna Temples]]> Uttar Pradesh]]> Uttar Pradesh City Guides]]> Uttar Pradesh Holidays]]> north india]]> http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/Eternal-Bliss------in-Radhe-Radhe--/3662982 Wed, 15 Feb 2012 06:47:09 -0500 http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/Eternal-Bliss------in-Radhe-Radhe--/3662982 Every specific religion associates certain pilgrimage places that hold special meanings to it.

Six of us started off by mid day of 6 Jan 2012, on this 17km walk; it was a hot and sunny day. We kept crossing many foreigners on our way and one of them a school teacher named Voila from Canada was also walking along with us. She told us that after reading the teachings of Bhagwan Ramana Maharshi which impressed her deeply, she came down to India to spend a couple of months here. We were pleasantly surprised to note that she is checked into a small home stay at Tiruvannamalai and does walk up and down to the Ramanasramam daily. After walking for 3 hrs we reached Ramanasramam and walked in with lot of expectations. First we stopped by the big hoarding detailing the Asram site map. After checking out all the places to visit we went on to Bhagavan Samadhi Shrine. It is a huge and peaceful hall where a Shiva Linga is placed on the Samadhi of Bhagavan and a close to real life idol is also there.travel]]> pilgrim]]> Arunachalam]]> Bhagavan Ramana Maharshi]]> Gosalas]]> Ramanasramama]]> Ved Pathasala]]> temple]]> religious]]> http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/A-Pleasant-Break-In-A-Long-Walk----/3662703 Wed, 15 Feb 2012 05:47:45 -0500 http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/A-Pleasant-Break-In-A-Long-Walk----/3662703 We keep travelling at every given opportunity. We capped our travel calendar of the year 2011 in December with a trip to Murudeswara in Khatkal district of Karnataka state in India. It was a completely unplanned trip as we were at Sringeri on 4 Dec and had planned to return to Bangalore. We realized that few tourists were proceeding to Murudeswara which is at a distance of 150km and not more than 3hrs from Sringeri. As it is on the Arabian seashore my two boys were excited to go on the trip. So, there we were on NH13 by 11 am on 4 Dec moving towards Murudeswara in our family car. We got on to state highway after some while and were back on to NH 17 and a left from Indian Oil petrol filling station lead us to our destination Murudeswara. Murudeswara is a temple of Lord Shiva and is popular for the 20 storied and 237 ft high Raja Gopuram. We had to strain our necks to get a complete view of the Gopuram. It is built on the Kanduka Giri hill surrounded by sea on all three sides. The temple premises are very clean and pleasant.travel]]> temple]]> vacation]]> nature]]> murudeshwara]]> lord shiva]]> shore]]> statue height]]> temple at shore]]> http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/A-Pilgrimage-Turned-Picnic--Murudeswara/3662690 Wed, 15 Feb 2012 05:44:10 -0500 http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/A-Pilgrimage-Turned-Picnic--Murudeswara/3662690 Dehradun is one of the perfect holiday destinations in India.
