Hyderabad to Kolanpak & Bhongir Fort Ride | Aprilia SR 150 | Hyderabad Travel Vlogging | #10

Hello All!

The ride was a sudden plan, had just 3 hours sleep but this didn't stop me to make a plan and ride. It has been 2 Months that I bought my Aprilia SR 150 and could not wait any longer to take it spin on long distances. Then, decided to visit Kolpaji Jain Tirth in Kolanpaka which is one of the ancient and most religious places for Jainism followers. Took a halt here, got freshened up and then reenergized inner self.

Someswara Temple: At a distance of 82 Kms from Warangal and 82 Kms from Hyderabad, Sri Someswara Temple is an ancient temple dedicated to Lord Shiva located in Kolanupaka village in Nalgonda District.

This temple is also called as Veyi Lingala Gudi (Thousand Lingas Temple).The temple was built around 12th century by Kakatiya Kings. Here Lord Shiva is found in a human form, unlike the common Linga form. Poojas are still being performed in this temple.

The temple complex also houses the Archeological Museum with several hundreds of wonderful sculptures dating back to 10th century to 14th century found in this region. The temple is situated at a distance of 1.5 Km from Kolanupaka Bus Station (past Veeranarayana Temple) and 2 Kms from Jain Temple.

After spending an hour here, I decided to continue my journey to the next location, Bhongir Fort.

Built in 12th century by the Western Chalukya ruler Tribhuvanamalla Vikramaditya VI is located on a huge monolithic rock. The hill upon which the fort itself is built is about 500 feet high and spread on about 40 acres of land.

The Fort is a unique egg-shaped construction with two entry points protected by huge rocks, so the fort was considered practically impregnable by invading armies. The hilltop gives a wonderful bird's eye view of the surrounding area. The old steps from bottom to top of the hill are in good shape and can have thrilling experience by climbing this hill.

The fort is associated with the rule of the iconic queen Rudramadevi and her grandson Pratapa Rudra. Later the impregnable fort was captured by the Qutb Shahi Kings and extended during their rule.

Apart from the fort, there is a Hanuman temple and a number of ponds that can be seen at the hilltop. There is also a statue of Sardar Papanna at the bottom of the hill. He was a monarch belongs to the Goud community and a brave warrior who ruled the region around Warangal and Bhongir during Mughal ruler.

Expected to make it the best, but lack of pieces of equipment and bad voice record made to limit my vlog content. Hopefully, the next VLog would have a lot of things to explore and show you the historical locations near Hyderabad.

Sree Narayana Guru Devotional Songs | Guru Pooja | Hindu Devotional Songs Malayalam

Narayana Guru (ca. 1854–1928), also seen as Sree Narayana Guru, was a Hindu sant, sadhu and social reformer of India. He was born into an Ezhava family, in an era when people from that community and other communities that were regarded as Avarna faced much social injustice in the caste-ridden society of Kerala. Gurudevan, as he was known by his followers, led a reform movement in Kerala, rejected casteism and promoted new values of spiritual freedom and social equality.
He stressed the need for the spiritual and social uplifting of the downtrodden by their own efforts through the establishment of temples and educational institutions. In the process he denounced the superstitions that clouded the fundamental Hindu cultural convention of caste. #hindudevotionalsongsmalayalam

Old Kannada inscription with hero stone of 13th Century at Ishvara temple in Arasikere

Old Kannada inscription with hero stone of 13th Century at Ishvara temple in Arasikere

Ishvara temple at Arasikere with an unusual 16-pointed stellate (star shaped) mantapa(hall) plan

The Ishvara Temple (also spelt Ishwara or Isvara) in Arasikere town of the Hassan district in Karnataka state, India, dates to c. 1220 CE rule of Hoysala Empire. Arasikere (lit Queens tank; Arasi means queen or princess and kere means tank in the Kannada language) is located 140 km north of the historic city of Mysore and 41 km east of Hassan city. The temple, which is dedicated to the Hindu God Shiva, though modest in size and figure sculpture, is considered the most complex one in architecture among surviving Hoysala monuments because of its ground plan: a 16-pointed star shaped mantapa (hall), in addition to an asymmetrical star shaped shrine, whose star points are of three different types.

Rear view of the Ishvara temple at Arasikere

The temple faces east as in all Hoysala constructions, uses soapstone (also known as steatite or soaprock) as its basic building material, and is a ekakuta shrine (single shrine or cella) with two mantapas (hall), one open and one closed. All three units are connected to form a unity. The sanctum (garbhagriha) enshrines a linga, the universal symbol of the Hindu god Shiva. The mantapais where the devotees gather. The closed mantapa does not have any windows. The ceiling in the closed mantapa is divided into nine compartments or bays by the four lathe turned pillars that support the ceiling. The unusual stellate design of the open mantapais a deviation from the staggered square–a standard in Hoysala constructions, and offers no opening for devotees to enter the temple. The entrance is through a bay between the two mantapas.

Star shaped shrine with wall panel images and shikhara(superstructure) at the Ishvara temple

The shrine has a tower (superstructure or Shikhara) which is intact, though the finial (a decorative water pot like structure called Kalasha) is a recent replacement. The vestibule connects the shrine to the closed mantapa and has its own tower called Sukanasi. The term nose is sometimes used to describe this tower because it is a low protrusion of the main tower (tower over the shrine). On this nose is an image of a bull (Nandi), which may be a more recent addition because this is the place where Hoysala temples normally exhibit the Hoysala royal emblem, the legendary warrior Sala fighting a lion.

The outer wall of the vestibule shares the same decoration as the outer wall of the shrine, but is inconspicuous because it forms a short continuation between the wall of the shrine and that of closed mantapa.
 The outer wall of the shrine is stellate, but the star points are not identical, rather they form three different kinds of star points, making the design complicated and unusual. The lower half of the outer wall of the shrine and the outer wall of the closed mantapa share the same architectural articulation. The open hall, with its 16-pointed star plan is most unusual design built by Hoysala architects. The central ceiling in the closed mantapa and the vestibule are decorated elaborately.

Both the interior and exterior of the temple shows interesting workmanship. The elegantly decorated ceilings, the domical ceiling of the open mantapa, the sculptures of Dwarapalakas (door keepers) in the closed mantapa (also called navaranga), the wall panel images numbering a hundred and twenty (on pilasters between the aedicules–miniature decorative towers) carved on the outer walls are noteworthy.
