#KheerGanga lies at the extreme end of #ParvatiValley and the last inhibited village while trekking to pin valley via Pin-Parvati pass. Kheerganga's panoramic skies and vast greenery are a much-needed delight to the trekker's eyes and especially the tired legs. It is a holy place with a hot water spring, a small temple of #LordShiva and a bathing tank. It makes a rare combination for any trekker to bath in hot spring water when everything is covered by snow.

#MayuranathaswamyTemple, #Mayiladuthurai or #MayuranatharTemple is a #HinduTemple in the town of #Mayiladuthurai (formerly known as #Mayavaram or #Mayuram) in #TamilNadu, India. The temple is dedicated to #LordMayuranathaswamy, a form of Shiva, and has given its name to the town itself. The main icon is a lingam and the presiding deity is called #Mayuranathar because the Hindu goddess Parvathi worshipped Shiva here in the form of a mayura.

On the day of the new moon in the Tamil month of Aippasi (November–December), religious Hindus have a ceremonial bath in the temple tank as it is believed to purify them from sins. An annual dance festival called the #MayuraNatyanjaliFestival is celebrated within the precincts of the temple each year.

#TajMahal is indeed the most beautiful monument ever.
