As stated in my travelogue, the force of spiritual presence that emenated within the walls of this ancient temple was overwhleming and beyond any expectation. The intensity of energy is difficult to describe, but suffice to say that this temple is a jewel of India, and one of the two major surprising highlights of my trip, a place that I had hoped to find during my journey. The particular energy of a Shiva temple can best described as 'an itensity of pure presence' or 'amplified reality'.The glass cases by the entrance house life size statues of Shiva and Parvati. I hope to go back here someday.
