Bhadrachalam - Sri Rama Temple


We've been planning to visit Bhadrachalam for some time now but haven't been able to execute it. This Rebublic day weekend we finally made the trip. The plan was as follows -
1. Friday - Start from Pune in the evening.
2. Saturday - Reach Hyderabad in the morning. Spend time with Baba in Hyderabad and then travel together to Bhadraclam.
3. Sunday - Visit temple and the ITC Bhadraclam factory. Start back for Hyderabad in the evening.
4. Monday (Republic day) - Reach Hyderabad in the morning and start for Pune in the evening.
5. Tuesday - Reach Pune in the morning and return to the grind!
The temple is amazing and considered one of the holiest shrines in South India. We performed the "Golden Flowers" pooja at the temple after visiting Parnashala in the morning. It is customary to visit Parnashala first and then the temple. You can find all the details about this sacred pilgrimage site and temple at http://www.bhadrachalarama.org/
We also visited the ITC Bhadrachalam paper boards and speciality paper factory. http://www.itcportal.com/paperboards_specialtypapers/paperboards.html
