Temple, a fusion of natural & man made artistry

Omkareshwara Temple |
Shrine
of Lord Shiva, the structure of this island appears in the shape of Hindu Om symbol.
Set in the scenic surroundings, an exciting option to reach up to the temple
can be a boat ride from the Omkareshwar town.
Accommodating
2 temple shrines in the town, one being Omkareshwar and the other being
Amareshwar. Do not miss to buy some local hand crafted souvenirs from the town
at very budget prices.
Annapurna
Temple, take a grand entry
 |
Annapurna Temple |
Dedicated
to the goddess of food, this 100 feet tall Dravidian style temple is one of the
oldest in Indore and thus one of the most crowd puller. The entrance to the
temple is a grand sight with 4 large elephants supporting an ornate gate and
the outer walls depicting colorful mythological images.
A
major attraction of the temple is the 14.5 feet high statue of Lord Kashi
Vishwanath in the lotus position along with separate temples for Annapurna,
Shiva, Hanuman and Kal Bhairav inside. This temple, bearing a striking resemblance
to the famous Meenakshi Temple of Madurai, is surely worth a visit.
Glass
Temple, see your inner soul
 |
Glass Temple |
A
dazzling display of glass work and white stone, this spectacular medieval
mansion dates back to the early 20th century. A splendid creation of
glass, the interiors right from doors, floors, pillars, walls to ceiling are
covered in multicolor glass panels and mosaics.
Daintily
crafted glass lanterns and cut glass made chandeliers add beauty to the
excellently crafted temple by many folds. Meticulously cut glass beads and the
raised figure have a misleading impact on the eye, creating a three-dimensional
effect and the effect of expansiveness.

Patpalni Water Falls |
A
scenic locale in the suburban of Indore city, Patalpani is loved for its
cascading waterfalls. The calm, quite and lustrous ambience of Patalpani makes
it a favourite picnic spot among families and nature lovers. The gushing water
of the cascade falls to an average depth of 200-300 feet is really enchanting.
Blessed
with a hilly terrain, Patalpani offers numerous trekking expeditions, to
gratify the adventurous itch of a mountaineer. Patalpani is a picture perfect
hill station where one can rejoice the magnificence of cascades and explore the
challenges of nature. However, the place is best to be avoided during monsoons.
