#JogFalls, a major attraction in #Karnataka, is located in the #Shimoga district of Karnataka. Also known by alternative names of #GerusoppeFalls, #GersoppaFalls, and #JogadaGundi, it is one of the highest #waterfalls in India. During #monsoons, one can see a breathtaking view of the falls with rainbows coming every now and then.

It is one of nature’s splendid masterpieces and is situated in the dense evergreen forests. The effect of these striking falls is enhanced by the wild and beautiful region around it which is covered with plenty of abundant vegetation. This waterfall drops directly down without streaming on the rocks.
While travelling in #Merta, #Rajasthan, you can plan a visit to the Meera Bai Mandir. It is a historic Hindu temple which was built by Rao Dudoji, an avid devotee of Lord krishna. Meera Bai was the granddaughter of Dadoji who is known to be the legendary devotee of Lord Krishna. It is the reason, the temple gets known as Meera Bai Mandir but in reality, the original name of the temple is Shri Char Bhujanath. You will be pleased to see the structure of the temple and its decor using marble extensively. During the festivals like Janamasthmi, Rama Navmi and Nrishingh Chaturdashi, the temple gets visited by thousands of devotees and tourists.
The holy abode of Shree Jagannatha is called as #Neelachala or #Niladri .
#LordJagannath, the presiding deity
of #NeelachalaDham is not a deity of any particular
sect. He is cosmopolitan and embraces spiritual
thoughts of all sects signifying the symbol of unity
in diversity. Four words in 'Jagannatha' represent
four deities. 'Ja' is Jagannath, 'Ga' is Balabhadra,
'Na' is Subhadra and 'Tha' Sudarsan, So#Jagannatha means the union of all deities which isall pervasive and often described as 'Purusottama.

Jaya Shree Jagannatha Mahaprabhu β™₯️
The Sahasra Bahu temples or #SasbahuTemples, at Nagda, #Rajasthan, are a pair of late 10th-century Hindu temples dedicated to Vishnu. They share a platform, facing the temple tank, and are similar in style, but one is rather larger than the other. The larger one is surrounded by ten subsidiary shrines, the smaller by four; only the bases remain of some of these. The temples have many of the characteristics of slightly later Māru-Gurjara architecture but lack others, especially in the plan and exterior sculpture.

The temple sanctum sanctorum holds the image of four-headed Brahma and his consort Gayatri(goddess of vedas).

It is dedicated to the worship of one of the chief Hindu gods, #LordVishnu, and the avatar that is celebrated here is the one of a boar.
