22feet Shani Dev |
I absolutely love eating dosas and idlys daily! Staying in Chennai in fact Chidambaram wasn't tough for me.But my mom absolutely missed North Indian food.She was missing Samosa and other dishes and had tough time eating dosas specially where I use to stay(chidambaram). There isnt much place to see in Pondicherry except for the beautiful Auroville,but we heard from the local autowala about Navagraha Temple. This temple is 7 kilometers from Pondicherry. Navagraha Temple can be on your one day trip from Pondicherry. You need to hire an auto and visit the temple but don't forget to bargain as they charge insanely!
It is located away from the crowded city .The mud roads were narrow and through the woods.It didn't look like a temple as its a 2-acre farmland surrounded by trees and huge deities in the middle. The entrance got a small Ganapati temple where people can pray.Once you enter you can see a 27 feet beautiful Sanidev deity.!! We roamed around for an hour and then decided to go back to Pondicherry. A very peaceful place.
