The Chamundi Hill in Mysore

-


Hey guys! Welcome back to my channel. Today, we are exploring the Chamundi Hill in Mysore. It is a popular tourist destination located about 13 kilometers from the city center. This hill is named after the goddess Chamundeshwari and is a significant religious site for Hindus.

The Chamundi Hill has a rich history that dates back to the 11th century when the Hoysala kings ruled the region. It was during this period that the Mahabaleshwara Temple was built on top of the hill. The temple is dedicated to Lord Shiva and is one of the oldest shrines in Mysore.

Apart from the Mahabaleshwara Temple, the Chamundi Hill also has the Chamundeshwari Temple, which is the main attraction of the hill. The temple was built in the 17th century by the Mysore king, Krishnaraja Wadiyar III. It is believed that the temple houses the goddess's sword, which is said to have been used to kill the demon Mahishasura.

One interesting fact about the Chamundi Hill is that it is also home to the Nandi statue, which is considered to be one of the largest in the world. The statue is made of a single rock and is 16 feet tall and 24 feet long. It is said that the statue was carved out of the hill itself.

Apart from the Mahabaleshwara Temple and Chamundeshwari Temple, the Chamundi Hill also has the Noahdi Mahalingeshwara Temple. This temple is located at the base of the hill and is dedicated to Lord Shiva. It is believed that the temple was built by the sage Noahdi.

Now, let's talk about the most exciting part of the Chamundi Hill - the viewpoint. The viewpoint offers a panoramic view of the city and is a great spot for photography. The best time to visit the viewpoint is during sunset when the entire city is bathed in a golden hue.

So, that was a quick tour of the Chamundi Hill in Mysore. If you ever plan to visit Mysore, make sure to add this destination to your itinerary. The hill has something for everyone - history, culture, and breathtaking views. I highly recommend visiting this place and experiencing the beauty of the Chamundi Hill firsthand.

That's it for today's vlog. If you enjoyed this video, don't forget to give it a thumbs up and subscribe to my channel for more exciting content. See you in the next video!

Life is simple - Why to make it complicated?

"LIFE" Today, I would like to share about our day to day life. Are we complicating our life by taking so much stress & by deep thinking? The answer may be YES or NO depends on every individual, the way they are living their life. If Yes, then the question is, Can we able to do anything about it? Did we spend some time of ours to resolve it? Did we realize in a simple way, why we are having problems in our life? etc. While reading, you must be thinking why today in his writing so many questions instead of answers? But I must say if you read carefully for a few minutes, you might get the answer's in the questions itself. So now maybe again the question might arise HOW? how we will get the solutions to our problems? The answer is "Make it Simple" Most of the time, for every problem we put a lot of effort to resolve it & because of it we may sometime get a solution very quickly or sometimes we may increase problems & make mo...

Most of the time, we try to avoid the things which people share about meditation. but what if I say, because of meditation you can convert into the happiest person in this world or I say, you can learn about yourself by doing meditation.

In the beginning, I used to feel very difficult to do meditation even for 2 min but when I started doing continuously for a few weeks, I got habituated & now I can able to do meditation even for 10 to 15 minutes.

"Swimming"           In my childhood, I used to think when I can get a chance to learn swimming but because of study pressure & some financial issues, I never asked my parents to join me in swimming classes. also never forced them for learning swimming.    Now after completion of studies & when I started my career, I have got some spare time to learn swimming. I thought can we able to learn swimming by ourselves.       At starting I felt it can be a very difficult job to learn swimming by ourselves but after thinking & by generating the interest to learn something new by myself, I got the confidence & I started.     Slowly everything went well & I learn swimming after doing regular practice.     I know when we will start a job which we will try to learn by ourselves, Sometimes we may succeed or sometimes we may need to give or spend more time to achieve success BUT we have to understand, ...
