A day before Deepavali festival, we wanted to hangout somewhere nearby since in laws were in Bangalore. One of the places to visit within Bangalore which would match the taste of elders is ISKCON temple. Honestly, I do not admire the temple as much like the mythological temples situated at hometown. We wanted to just relax a bit with devotion. The nearest was ISKCON and we decided to visit during evening hours.
We started at 4:30PM and heavy traffic at hebbal flyover was the first bottleneck. The pathetic design always constricts the smooth traffic over the fly over. It took nearly 30 minutes to cross the flyover. The journey past descension was sheer liberation from crowded road. The drive past the fly-over was quite smooth and in matter of 20 mins we reached the destination. There was enough parking space and the crowd was minimal.
Unlike the last visit, the authorities have relaxed the photography rules. You can capture some of the outer areas of temple without disturbing the crowd. This enabled me to capture few glimpses of this modern temple against the cloudy background. We did not eat the tasty snacks served at temple shops this time, primarily due to the heavy lunch we had at home. After crossing the temple exit, we savored tasty pongal which was served as prasad.
It was 6PM when we were at the last stage of temple. The night lights projected on the temple were splendid to capture as well. The mobile captured palatable shots with acceptable noise. Here are few snaps to rejoice. Snapseed which is my favorite mobile photo editor did fantastic job as well!
