Golden Temple





Golden Temple at Kushalnagar

We have been to Kushalnagar for a holiday trip with our office staff.Amazing view of the Budha dharma followers and the buildings coated with gold realy enthralled us.The residents were tibatians dressed as saints with yellowish and saffron attire. They are stout. Only male members are seen.Occassionally we had seen some young beautiful lady tibatians and old women. There were so many tourists to see the temple and have shopping of the special items such as cotton bags, bamboo made items and clothes.
The prayer hall is wide and spacious and one can sit on the floor and watch the amazing statues of Lord Budha, Lord Amitayus and Guru Rimboche.The statues have a height of 60 feet. Sri Buddha was the founder of Buddha Religion.Ahimsa is the mantra of Budha.Guru Rimboche is responsible to remove all evils and obstacles for the flourish of the Religion. Lord Amitayus is the god to extend the death of a person by blessing ‘Deerghayu’ . Seeing these statues ,venerating them circumambulating and making offerings, generates faith wisdom,peace,loving kindness and compassion in our minds and and cleanses unwholesome thoughts and actions.
We were lucky to have the sight of Prayer, unique in nature with various Drums and Thalas, and offerings. This place is situated at about 30 KM from Mercara on the side of Mysore Highway. Some photos are uploaded for the viewers.
Thanks for visiting the blog
