Gomat Giri Temple

On the way to Gomat Giri Temple

After a long wait of almost one and a half years I went to my home. I was very happy and excited to go home. I was so happy that I didn't realize when the journey got over. Though 27-30 hours journey by train is quite long and tiring, but I guess I am use to it now and spirit of going home makes it bearable. Recently, I developed hunger for visiting temples and religious places, whenever I go to Indore. This time when I went to Indore I visited famous “Gomat Giri” temple. I went along with my family. It is a Jain temple situated on the top of the hill. It is very peaceful and beautiful place.

This time (14^th August) when I went to Indore the weather was good. The day we went to the temple, the sky was covered with clouds and the Sun was playing hide-and-seek. When we reached at the top of the hill, cold breeze welcomed us. I enjoyed the breeze there.

Gomat Giri Temple

Gomat Giri is a big religious place. It has one giant idol of Lord Mahavir along with other 23 idols of Tirthankars (Jain Gods). All idols are situated in the series of room adjacent to each other. We worshiped all the idols one by one. After worshiping all the idols I felt content.

Gomat Giri is such peaceful and beautiful place; I was just amused by the beauty of the nature there. People come along with the family for pick-nick trip. When I was kid even we used to come for pick-nick.

On the return Journey

While returning I took the snaps and thanked God for everything. Finally I left the place with a peaceful mind.
