Murdeshwar

in #photography6 years ago (edited)

After spending a few days in Alleppey, it was finally time to visit Goa and I was particularly excited for it as I had never explored this state. I think I always had the desire to come to Goa since my teen years. Anyway, along the way I also got a chance to see some beautiful locations which I didn't even know about like the town of Murdeshwar which is famous for the Murudeshwara Temple, the statue of Shiva and the nearby beaches.

Shri Murudeshwara Temple. I think I am gonna use the lift facility to take a view of the statue, the beautiful coastline and the Arabian sea if I visit here again!

This is the second largest statue of Shiva in the world with a height of 37 metres after the one in Sanga (Nepal) with the height of 43.5 metres!

I was told by a friend that this place serves delicious food but I wonder how it is for vegterians like me :P Anyway, seems like a nice spot to chill with an awesome view.

Catching glimpses of some pretty fields and routes along the way. I think the temperature was somewhere in between 30-35 degrees celsius which definitely made it hard to keep taking pictures under the scorching sunlight but I tried to make the best use of my phone, haha!

As I got closer to the outer regions of South Goa (also closer to my airbnb), the routes were getting more lush and green and it was as if I was going through a forest tunnel <3 I could also see the beaches in distance and took a moment to click some shots of the boats :)

Watching this dude, enjoying his ride with a big smile on his face took away all the tiredness of the day. If I remember correctly I saw many groups of people, especially tourists, travelling in rented bikes/scooters and I was already loving this side of Goa!

Finally took a shot of the airbnb which already had a pretty cycle parked <3

Yes dear @aishwarya... We get good vegetarian food at Murdeshwar because it is a Temple place, people prefer to eat veg food...

Oh wow, that's nice to know :)

It looks like it was a well-spent period of time full of exciting experiences and discoveries. An intriguing photo-elation presented in the pictures in the form of an unforgettable adventure!

Regards Edios

Glad you liked it. Was a fun day :)

Look at the roads with rows of coconut trees on either side. The scenery is very similar to the countryside roads in Vietnam.

I would love to visit Vietnam someday! A few of my friends who moved to Vietnam have told me that it's really beautiful :)

Very nice post and seems like a great struggle.
Admirable.
