Mukkoti Ekadashi Festival Ceremony in my Hometown
Hey Praveen, tomorrow is mukkoti yekadashi..my mother said..oh what do I do now?i said. Don’t say that she said..then you have to wake up at 4amin the early morning she said. Ok I will try I said and slept.i woked up at 4am in the morning.my mom got ready and was waiting for  me.i dressed up traditionally and we headed to the temple.calling as lord chennakesava temple, which was the ambitious temple in my hometown.it was a sanctum place, where we could visit the different incarnation of lord venkateswara.on this auspicious festival day,people would be celebrated like a ceremony.predominantly , all surrounding village peoples associated together in the ceremony
Vaikunta Ekadashi is the Shukla paksha Ekadashi that occurs during the dhanu month in the Hindu calendar (corresponding to late December - January in an English calendar).













The Vaishnava (Worship of Vishnu) sect believes that ‘Vaikunta Dwaram’ or ‘the gate to the Lord's Inner Sanctum’ is opened on this day. The Margashirsha Shukla Paksha Ekadashi in the Lunar calendar is known as a 'Mokshada Ekadashi.' Special prayers, yagnas, discourses, and speeches are arranged at Vishnu temples across the world on this auspicious day. The Shiva sect observes the day as Trikoti Ekadashi, a religious observance where all the deities in the Hindu pantheon pay obeisance to Lord Sri Shiva at once.
The significance of Vaikuntha Ekadashi is mentioned in the Padma Purana. The legend says that the Devas, unable to bear the tyranny of 'Muran' - a demon, approached Shiva, who directed them to Vishnu. A battle ensued between Vishnu and the demon and Vishnu realized that a new weapon was needed to slay Muran. In order to take rest and create a new weapon, Vishnu retired to a cave for the goddess named Hiamavati in Bhadrikashrama. When Muran tried to slay Vishnu, who was sleeping, the female power that emerged from Vishnu burned Muran to ashes with her glance. Vishnu, who was pleased, named the goddess 'Ekadashi' and asked her to claim a boon. Ekadashi, instead, beseeched Vishnu that people who observed a fast on that day should be redeemed from their sins. Vishnu thus declared that people who observed a fast on that day and worshipped Ekadashi would attain Vaikuntha. Thus came into being the first Ekadashi, which was a Dhanurmasa Shukla Paksha Ekadashi.
The demon Muran stands for the Rajasic and Tamasic qualities in people, attributed to lust, passion, inertia, arrogance etc. When one conquers these tendencies, one attains the purity of mind, Satva, indispensable for attaining of moksha, the liberation or realization of the self. For realizing the self as pure awareness, purity of mind is required. Fasting helps to keep at bay tendencies which could be triggered by intake of certain foods. Keeping vigil in the night is symbolic of awareness, or being watchful of the contents of the mind. When the mind is looked at, it becomes still. To abide in the stillness is to attain freedom or peace, acquired through the merging of the mind with the self. This is symbolic of the mind automatically being absorbed in the sight of Vishnu after the arduous fast and vigil.
The belief that rice is prohibited, because Muran dwells in it, symbolically signifies that the eating of rice makes one feel heavy and hampers the vigil. This signifies that entertaining negative tendencies could hamper one's progress towards awareness or consciousness. Observance of the rituals on this auspicious day even without understanding their importance is beneficial. Hence the merit accrued through observing them with piety is believed to be immeasurable. In the Mahabharata, Bhagavad Gita the conversation between Krishna and Arjuna at the beginning of Kurukshetra is said to have occurred on this day.

This temple is the main attraction for tourists visiting this town. The temple galigopuram is very tall and can be seen 5 km away from the town. The unique feature of the temple is that every year, from 23 December to 3 January, the sun's rays at dawn enter the sanctum sanctorum, through specially placed windows, and fall at the feet of the deity making them glow for 20 minutes in a day. 





The galigopuram was constructed in such a manner that the sunrays would pass through three holes in the Garudalwar mandir between 6.40 a.m. and 7 a.m. every day for 12 days from December 23. The rays falling at the center of the Garudalwar mandir would reflect on the idols in the sanctum sanctorum making them glow with golden hues. An incredible architectural feat that speaks volumes of the expertise of the artisans of the Sri Krishna devaraya period. According to the legend, the Lord killed a demon by name Kesi, so he became known as Kesava here. As the Lord was strikingly beautiful and accompanied by his consort Lakshmi, he was worshipped here as Lakshmi Chenna Kesava Swamy. Every year during the month of March and April, there will be a mela for more than 10 days, at that time it is assumed that at least 100,000 people visit the temple. There is a big teru(Car) where they take the Utsav statue of the god during this ceremony. Recently they have demolished the old Car and constructed a new car. When we entered the queue, there were a long queue.we could be waited In the queue for45 minutes.I liked my town very much..archak bestowed prasadams to us.we ate at the temple…should we takeprasadam to home?  No..dont say like that ….she said…many people may not think so…she said….sorry ma I said..she nodded…after that, we headed back to the home…I felt blessed on this mukkoti Ekadashi  at chenna Kesava temple…I never ever had visited such a sanctum temple in my entire life…I enjoyed a lot with my mother…..happy mukkoti Ekadashi,..thank you….

We both met at the chitanyapuri bus stop.dinesh given me an idea of about one day bus pass.the average fare of trip  ticket would be 100…but one day pass would get only for 80 rupees.I liked it.we took the one-day pass ,which was issued by tsrtc.i always cheered when I see you I said.he grinned at me.while travelling Dinesh asked me a question that do you make better use of your time recently.no ….Dinesh I don’t I said.from dilsukhnagar to kbr park.its about 17km.whcih was located in Banjara hills .after 45 minutes, we got down at kbr park







Kasu Brahmananda Reddy National Park also known as Chiran Fort Palace is a national park located in jublihills in Hyderabad, Telangana, India. The park has an approximate area of 390-acre (1.6 km2). The entire park was declared as a National park by the Andhra Pradesh state government after getting approval from the central government in the year 1998. It is located centrally in Jubilee Hills and is described as a jungle amidst the concrete jungle. It has peacocks and other animals. Chiran Palace was built in 1940. The entire palace complex is spread over an area of 400 acres and was given to prince mukkaram Jah on his coronation by his father Prince Azam Jah 1967. The complex has the palace and besides it the other property include Mor (peacock) bungalow on a hillock, Gol Bungalow; stables for elephant, horses and cattle, motor khana that housed a fleet of exquisite vintage cars, a workshop for heavy machinery, petrol pump, several outhouses, two wells and an equal number of water tanks. The entire palace complex area was declared as a National park by the Andhra Pradesh state government after getting permission from the central government in the year 1998. This gave control of major part of the land to the forest department and the Nizam was left with the control of only about 11 acres. As the time passed the control of the Nizam was further reduced to the present less than six acre. Further the park was renamed to Kasu Brahmananda Reddy National Park with only the palace building being referred to as Chiran palace. In June 2010 the Prince and his representatives reached an agreement with the state government to exchange Chiran Palace and 16 other pieces of his property scattered over the national park with six acres of land on the north-west corner of the park. This land would not be considered the part of the National park and thus will not provide access to forest officials and visitors to the park. All the properties on the land, including the Chiran palace, would be notified as part of the national park and the land to be handed out to the prince was struck out of the park.

In kbr park, we saw many plants and peacocks.dinesh was enjoying with peacocks.we thoroughly enjoyed all atmosphere in the park.Dinesh asked me a snap.I captured him on the phone . after that we spent 2 hours in the park.a beautiful lady was jagging on the road.we saw at her.when we saw her we just forgot that where we are now.she was pretty.after few minutes, she went away.but my thoughts were still at her.hey, common we have to go Dinesh I said .sorry, I just forgot.

The temple which was constructed during 2009 recently lies in Center of Hyderabad City. It is said that this is a replica of original Jagannath Temple of Puri (Orissa) in context of design. The most attracting portion of this temple is its "Shikhara" (the peak/top) measuring around 70 feet in height. The red color of the temple is due to the usage of sandstone (around 600 tonnes were brought from Orissa which is being used to build this whole architecture) and around 60 stone carvers got the blessing to carve this temple. There are shrines dedicated to Lakshmi, along with Shiva, Ganesh, Hanuman, and navagrahas. The amorous sculptures are also found to represent the innermost feelings of the human being and this explains to keep them outside the temple always while entering.

The Weekend Trip with Friends in Hyderabad on Sunday
My friend and I were planned for weekend trip .but one of my friends said Hyderabad tourism is good.then I started a conversation with them
Me; what is the Hyderabad city is most famous for?
Friends; in Hyderabad, we can see Golconda, Imax,ntr gardens, Indira park
Me; oh gud…can we visit three places on this Sunday.
Funds; ok done.we will be planned.
The day has come.my friend came to me and explained a schedule, which was set accordingly.
we started our journey to Golconda by bus.we traveled towards launger house and reached the Golconda…..
Golkonda was originally known as Mankal. Golkonda Fort was first built by the kakatiya dynasty as part of their western defenses along the lines of the kondapalli fort. The city and the fortress were built on a granite hill that is 120 meters (480 ft) high, surrounded by massive battlements. The fort was rebuilt and strengthened by Rani rudrama Devi and her successor prataparudra.Later, the fort came under the control of the musunuri Nayaks, who defeated the tughlaqiarmy occupying Warangal. It was ceded by the musunuri kapaya Naidu to the bahmani sultanate as part of a treaty in 136. Under the Bahmani Sultanate, Golkonda slowly rose to prominence. 





Sultan quili Qutb-ul-Mulk (r. 1487–1543), sent as a governor of Telangana, established it as the seat of his government around 1501. Bahmani rule gradually weakened during this period, and Sultan Quli formally became independent in 1538, establishing the Qutb Shahi dynasty based in Golkonda.Over a period of 62 years, the mud fort was expanded by the first three Qutb Shahi sultans into the present structure, a massive fortification of granite extending around 5 km in circumference It remained the capital of the Qutb Shahi dynasty until 1590 when the capital was shifted to Hyderabad. The Qutb Shahis expanded the fort, whose 7 kilometers (4.3 mi) outer wall enclosed the city. The fort finally fell into ruin in 1687, after an eight-year-long siege leading to its fall at the hands of the Mughal emperor  Aurangzeb
My friend was telling that after a long gap we are enjoying a lot.after that we went outside to having breakfast.we ate a delicious food at the hotel.which is nearby Golconda fort.my friends were telling that we can visit ntr garden.he nodded.we headed to khairathabad, which was the nearest place of Imax.from khairathabad, we walked for 10 min.after few minutes we reached to Imax, where we booked a film ticket .we had visited all malls and shops and all etc..





Prasad's is a centrally air-conditioned multiplex of an area of 2,35,000 sq ft, housing a Movie Theatre, a five-screen multiplex, food court, multinational fast food outlets, a gaming zone and a Shopping mall covering two levels of the complex. It used to be an IMAX theatre. Prasad’s IMAX of the l.v prasad group was inaugurated on July 25, 2002.at the premises of the historical Hussain Sagar thermal power station, after its demolition.imax leased its projection systems to Prasad on a33-year lease for 4.5million dollars.as of 2017, Imax official website has removed its name from the list of Imax theaters in India starting that prasad's is no longer an Imax theater. 







One of my friends suggested us a hotel for lunch.we ate unlimited veg thali.in which, I liked curd very much.after that, we headed to the ntr gardens.NTR Gardens is a small public,  urban park of 36 acres (0.15 km2; 0.056 sq mi) adjacent to  Hussain Sagar lake in Hyderabad, India. Constructed in several phases since 1999, the area that is predominantly a park is geographically located in the center of the city and is close to other tourist attractions such as Birla Mandir, necklace road, and Lumbini Park. It maintained by the Buddha Purnima Project Authority that functions under the directives of the government of Telangana. In 1999, a land of 5 acres (20,000 m2) from a 55-acre (220,000 m2) plot was utilized for erecting a memorial for N.t Rama Rao, the former chief minister of bifurcated Andhra Pradesh. It was inaugurated by Chandrababu Naidu. It was planned to further expand this area, which has since been referred to as NTR Gardens, by constructing a museum about N. T. Rama Rao. This memorial was a part of the Buddha Purnima Project that was being handled by Hyderabad urban development authority (HUDA) for the beautification and development of the  Hussain Sagar lake and its surroundings as a major tourist attraction. In 2000, the government of Andhra Pradesh expressed its plans to develop this area with several projects such the NTR Gardens itself, a rock garden and Imax theatre. A few days later, a government official firstly said that the rock garden will be taken up by Dubai-based nris at a cost of  27 crores Secondly the IMAX theatre project, which was said to cost Rs. 52 crore was allotted to a private firm. Both these projects were to be executed in the same 55-acre (220,000 m2) plot which housed the memorial. 
Its evening 430pm In the evening.we had tea at the hotel.after that we moved to Indira park .which was one of the famous parks in Hyderabad
Indira Park is a public green space and park in the heart of Hyderabad, India. The foundation stone for the Indira Park was laid during September 1975 by Late Faqruddin Ahmed, the then president of India and it was open for the people in the year 1978 with complete landscaping.




Indira Park is having 76 acres (31 ha) of the area. The park is managed by the Hyderabad metropolitan development authority  It is located in domalguda, a residential locality which lies along the Hussain Sagar lake. The park contains an award-winning rock garden designed by a commissioner of customs and excise duty
Its 530 pm in the evening.we were tired.my friends told me that let's go home.we don’t have energy levels.
Me; please we should visit Vivekananda math
Friend;no..we shouldn't

The Exam Experience on Sunday in Hyderabad
Its Sunday early morning 330am .. I do wake up daily at 630am.on Sunday I had 2 exams in Hyderabad..exam center is so far from my home. Dressed well .had checked hall tickets and all etc..moved to auto stop.I was waiting for auto.waited for 30min.after few minutes, an auto came and got down at malakpeta mmts station.i took a ticket to the Hitech city.but unfortunately, the train was running late for 20 min.hyderabad temperature was cold .i was sitting alone on the bench .really I liked that pleasant feeling.was enjoying that feeling.after few minutes, the train has come on the platform .gotin the train, in which passengers were feeling very cold. I was seeing outside of the window.snow was falling on the roof houses.I enjoyed that moment .after few minutes, I got down at high-tech city station .where I caught an auto to a jntu.where I had the exam .reached the exam center before 40 minutes.students were waiting outside of the university.I met the security guard and asked about the allowing time.he didn't allow us.we waited 10 more minutes at the university entrance gate.after few minutes, I entered the university.




Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University was established on 2 October 1972, by an act of State Legislature. On its formation, the Government Engineering Colleges at Anantapur, Kakinada, and Hyderabad, along with the Government College of Fine Arts and Architecture at Hyderabad, became its Constituent Colleges. Subsequently, JNTU act 1972 was amended by JNTU (Amendment) Ordinance, 1992 1 to affiliate any other college or Institution notified by the A.P. State Government. Hence, JNT University is a Multi-Campus University with Headquarters at Hyderabad. As per the Act No. 30 and Act No. 31 of 2008 dated 24 September 2008, Jawaharlal Nehru Technological was divided into four universities, Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University Hyderabad (JNTUH), Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University Kakinada (JNTUK), Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University Anantapur (JNTUA) and Jawaharlal Nehru Architecture and Fine Arts University, Hyderabad.

After completion of the exam, I met my friend srk.who stayed in kukatpally, he and I were moved to a hotel, where we ate a special biryani
Hyderabad biryani is generally believed to originate in the kitchens of the Nizam of Hyderabad Hyderabadi biryani originated as a blend of Mughlai and Iranian cuisine in the kitchens of the nizam,rulers of the histroic hyderabd state.hyderabad birynai is a staple part of the indiancuisine.hyderabadi biryani is of two types: the kachchi(raw) biryani, and the pakki(cooked) biryani.
Kachche gosht ki biryani:  The Kachchi biryani is prepared with meat marinated with spices overnight and then soaked in yogurt before cooking. The gosht (meat) is sandwiched between layers of fragrant long-grained basmati rice, and cooked on dum (steaming over coals), after sealing the handi (vessel) with dough. This is a challenging process as it requires meticulous attention to time and temperature to avoid over- or under-cooking the meat.
Pakki biryani: In a Pakki biryani, the meat is marinated for a shorter time, and cooked before being layered with the rice and cooked in a dough-sealed vessel. In Pakki Aqni (with cooked gravy), the ingredients are cooked before baking.
The gravy is redolent of mace, ittar, and kewra. saffron  and cardamom are also used.
There is also a vegetarian version of the biryani, which is made using vegetables such as carrots, peas, cauliflower and potato and cashews.


We went out of the hotel.
Srk: I have to go , he said.
Me: ok let me give you a accompany to the busstop.
Srk: ok I said.
Me: oh bus came …. Don’t forget to call me.bye, I said.at the same day, I had another exam In the afternoon.I moved to nizam crossroad by auto.i reached the auto stand.where I asked a person that I have to go bachupally.then an auto driver came to me and asked me that you want to go bachupally…yeah, I said.
Driver: go and sit there
Me: will it start in 5 min? I said.
Driver: no ..it will start in 15 minutes.
Me: ok…I will be waiting there.if you do not start in 15 minutes. I will catch another auto.
Driver: please…sit..it will be started in 15 min.
After few minutes, auto started from nizams crossroads.we reached the exam center, named as Vnr engineering college….. 
I liked the infrastructure of the college.after few hours, the exam was completed.I headed to the kphb metro station .hyderabad metro started in the last month.I already visited the Delhi and Bangalore metro.telangana government has developed all amenities.l&T would be implemented very well.

In November 2017, Commissioner of Railway Safety (CMRS) granted safety approval for 12 km stretch from Miyapur to SR Nagar, 10 km stretch from SR Nagar to Mettuguda and 8 km stretch from Nagole to Mettuguda. Infrastructure The 71.3 km standard-gauge network will feature ballastless track throughout and will be electrified at 25kV ac 50 Hz. An operations control center and depot are being constructed at Uppal.






CBTC Technology: At the end of 2012, L&T Metro Rail awarded Thales a Rs 7.4bn ($US 134m) contract to provide CBTC and integrated telecommunications and supervision systems on all three lines. Thales will supply its SelTrac CBTC technology, and trains will initially run in automatic train operation mode with minimum headways of 90 seconds, although the system will support eventual migration to unattended train operation (UTO)
Rolling stock: On 12 September 2012, Larsen and Toubro Metro Rail Hyderabad Ltd (LTMRHL) announced that it has awarded the tender for supply of rolling stock to Hyundai Rotem.The 18 billion (US$280 million) tender is for 57 trains consisting of 171 cars which will be delivered in phases at least 9 months before the commencement of each stage.]On 2 October 2013, LTMRHL unveiled its train car for Hyderabad Metro. A model coach which is half the size of the actual coach was on public display at Necklace Road on the banks of Hussain Sagar in the heart of Hyderabad.The trains will be 3.2m wide and 4m high. There will be 4 doors on each side of each coach. On 10 April 2014, the first metro train for HMR rolled out of Hyundai Rotem factory at Changwon in South Korea and reached Hyderabad in May 2014.On 31 December 2014, Hyderabad Metro Rail successfully conducted a training run in Automatic Train Operation (ATO) mode for the first time between Nagole and Mettuguda.
Ticketing: The L&T Hyderabad project will have an automated ticketing system with features such as contactless smart card-based ticketing, slim automatic gates, payment by cash and credit/debit card, passenger operated ticket vending machine and provision of the common ticketing system.

Samsung India, a subsidiary of South Korean firm Samsung, has been awarded the automatic fare ticket system package for the L&T metro rail project. The package involves design, manufacture, supply, installation, testing, and commissioning of the system. Official ticket prices were announced on 25 November 2017. The base fare is 10 for up to 2 km.I took a ticket to nagole.which is about 55 rupees.when I entered in the metrostation.disicpline and maintenance of metro station was really very nice.the train has started .after some minutes, it arrived at  ameerpeta.got down and changed another line, which was starts from Ameerpet to nagole.a a few minutes later,I reached the nagole metro station .its time 7 pm.i walked a 300m to the nagole bus stop, where I got a direct bus to my home.had enjoyed this Sunday very well .hyderabad metro station was simply superb and smart..innovating India…..

After few hours, I got down at Chennai.headded to the clock room.i had deposited my luggage at the clock room.went to t Nagar. Thyagaraya Nagar, popularly known by its abbreviated form T. Nagar, is a neighborhood in the city of Chennai, India. T. Nagar was constructed between 1923 and 1925 by the Madras Presidency government of the raja of panagal as a part of town planning activities initiated according to the Madras Town Planning Act of 1920. The town was named after Justice Party leader sir p.theegaraya chetty. The streets, parks, and localities in the new neighborhood were named after important officials in the provincial government. The neighborhood is considered the biggest shopping district in India by revenue.Though conceived as a residential locality, it is now one of the principal shopping districts of the city.


 It is most famous for its plethora of Saree and gold retailers like pothys,nalli silks, and Saravana stores. The neighborhood is served by the mamblam railway station of the Chennai suburban railway network. Panagal park is located at the center of the neighborhood connecting Five vein-roads of the neighborhood: North Usman Road, South Usman Road, G.N. Chetty Road, Thyagaraya Road and Venkatanarayana Road. Unofficially, T. Nagar is the Commercial Capital of the City pushing back parrys corner, the center of the city. pondy bazaar serves as the Satellite commercial hub for T. Nagar located around the Thyagaraya Road. T.Nagar residents are an unusual mix of the traditional and the modern and this is reflected in the way the neighbourhood has been growing. Several new eateries have come up while at the same time, traditional restaurants are also packed. With the city extending its bed-time more every year, the locality has acquired a reputation of always being in the fast lane. The grand textile showrooms close very late at night, and their hoarding boards constantly illuminate the roads. Early in the morning, joggers and walkers take full advantage of the empty roads, with the fresh air that's so hard to come by in this area at all other times of the day. Panagal Park, Natesan Park, and Jeeva Park all have their regular crowd and their walkers' associations are extremely active. T.Nagar is also a place of musical intellects. A lot of sabhas are very active during the December month.
Really liked Chennai very much.especially the tnagar, where we could find all shopping complexes and hotels.i went to a cloth-shop and took some clothes.I asked a person that what is the tnagar is most famous for? Shopping and food he said.thank you I said.do you want me to find the best hotel for you.he said.yes..how did you find that I said.i guessed he said.go straight and turn first right .take 200m walk , you will get the hotel he said. I thanked him again. after that, I moved to a hotel called mandi biryani .where I ate a biryani which was yummy and delicious….
