Balamathi Temple
This post is about my trip to the Balamathi temple which is constructed for the Indian Lord Murugan.Its located in vellore,Tamilnadu. ( Tamilnadu is in India )
You can reach the temple from vellore by taking a route which goes to tiruvannamali. On the way you will be able to find a place called otteri about 5km from vellore. From otteri you have to take left and go straight crossing the children'park.
After crossing the children's park and a school you will find a road diverging and will be able to see a board displaying the directions to reach the balamathi hill temple.Its about 4 km from otteri. The mountain will also be visible from the place where the children's park is present.
You have to climb a small hill and the road is laid in such a way that only one bus can go in the road at a time,that is the width I mean.After reching some distance you have to cross a bridge. A small dam has been constructed there to store some water but there isnt any water found at that place. Then again if you travel to some distance you will be able to see the balamathi temple on top.
About 100 steps are there to reach the temple.The lord murugan statue is visible on the image and then you should pass inside the traditional south Indian temple tower to move inside the temple.A small hamlet is there at the bottom of the temple and there are possibilities that frequent visitors will be there all the time for this temple.
Inside there are navagrahas,vallalar statues and also some of the old saints. It takes about 15 - 20 minutes from vellore by bike to reach the temple.The same time takes if you plan to reach it by car. Buses are not frequent for this place which has this temple.So some planning is needed if you wish to visit the temple for worship or as a visit.No one is allowed inside the place where the God's deities are placed.

After continuing your journey through the direction boards, you will be taking some twists and turns to reach this place shown above and its only a few miles to the temple from this place.A clear view of the local town will be visible from this place.
