Temples in "East Godavari", Andhra Pradesh, India

-

Sometimes visiting temples provides purpose for our lives. It brings peace to our souls. 

I often visit temple in which ever country I live to thank God who has given me life and with whatever God has blessed me to survive in this complicated world.  I feel more relaxed and relieved when I am just siting in the open area inside the temple premises.


Three Years ago when I travelled to India I visited Andhra Pradesh (AP) for 2 days more precisely "East Godavari",  a small district as part of a spiritual yatra tour like a Tirth Yatra. Andhra Pradesh is one of the prominent state in Southern part of India.  

What is a Tirth Yatra?

Tirth Yatra refers to the journey associated to visit the pilgrimage sites or a holy place in Hinduism

Most of the places in Southern States of India are notable for its ancient towering  masterpieces, traditional culture, famous & historical temples.

We travelled to few temples for 2 days in "East Godavari" district and I am still working on writing about each place in detail for you all and will upload the articles in the blog with a link attached whenever possible. So, watch out for my latest updates regularly!!!

As you may know, I enjoy taking time to browse through my photo albums to relive the memories of my past travels. Recently, I came across pictures from my trip to Hershey's Chocolate World of Pennsylvania in 2018, and it was truly a remarkable experience. The trip was filled with excitement and wonder as I explored the world of chocolate and indulged in delicious treats.  Wow & wow! This store is like a dream come true for me! The place is enormous and filled with all kinds of Hershey's candies. They also have 3-D movie and historical Trolley ride which is a must-see. The selection is immense and the atmosphere inside is joyous, colorful, and fun. As soon as I walked in, I started smiling because I love Chocolates, I was so impressed with its history too.
