[/blue]
[blue][u]How to reach Naimishranyam? [/blue][/u].
One can reach Naimisharanyam from Lucknow(LKO).all one has to do is
to telephone Mr Lakshmi narasimhan or his Wife in this Number [blue]
09936040748[/blue] so that they can make sure some vehicle can pick
u up from LKO. Ah one important thing there is nothing available in
that Village Naimishranyam . Its having major power problem .only 5
hours of supply its getting out of 24 hours I stayed. This place
needs some way to tackle power problem.
[blue][u].what are all thing one needs in the pilgrimage trip?

Plenty of mosquito coils & repellant creams, Torch light with spare
batteries,candles, Coffee powder, Milk powder,& if u want to offer
Puliyodhrai as Naivedhyam for Perumal SRI PRAHALADA VARADAN pl take
Pulikachal with u. Nothing is available there except Rice, some

? At Ayodhya..
?[blue][u] How to reach there? [/blue][/u]
? Direct by Train from Banaras & By bus or by the auto rickshaw (pat
pat) from Faizabad. Nearest Aerodrome located at Lucknow about 150km
from Ayodhya.
?[blue][u] Where to stay?[/blue][/u]?.
? . I stayed in Ammaji Mandir which is located near GolaGhat,-
Rinmochan chouraha ( Near Telephone exchange) Ayodhya. Not Cot & no
bed Available.
? One has to sleep on the floor with your own bed sheet. It's a
Temple of south Indian Architecture.
? Other wise lot of Dharmasalas available there. I tried to take a
room in Janaki Bhawan trust .it's Bed & cot.
? They are providing food/Prasadam for Yatris at a nominal cost.
There is a Perumal sannidhi there in that complex. The bakhtas sing
songs in praise of Bagwan Ramji.
?[blue][u] what are all the places to have dharshan there..? [/blue]
[/u]
? First have a holy dip in[blue][u]Sarayu Nadhi( pleasant
experience). Take bath at Juhan ghat near Ammaji Mandhir [/blue]
[/u]. It's almost not crowded because lot of yatris goes to the ghat
near Bus /Road Bridge.
? Next go to the [blue][u]Ram Janma bhumi to haveRamlala's Dharshan.
[/blue][/u] You may also have dharshan of Janaki Mahal, Valmiki
bhawan, & char dham mandhir. The city is full of Temples. I love to
have the Dharshan of [blue][u]Darpasayana Perumal & sri Ranganathar
At Ammaji Mandir[/blue][/u].Namma oor Perumal.( south Indian type
Mandir)
.
?[blue][u] what are all the things needed there..? [/blue][/u]
? Plenty of mosquito repellent , batteries, Torch light, snacks like
cashew nut, Raisin( Beware of my friends[:)]-Monkeys .plenty of them
loitering here & there at Ayodhya) some pain balms ?one has to walk
minimum One Km per side for RamLalas dharshan that's y pain balm is
needed. & coffee powder.
? No coffee is available in both Nymisharanyam & Ayodhya. Take Bru
instant which is close to taste like our athhu(home) filter coffee
[:)]
? My parents always says that one has to stay at least one night at
each Kshetram that's y I've taken all these stuff with us during my
pilgrimage trip weather its to Badrinath or Puri
jagannath /Brindavan. Always be prepared for every thing when u r
in UP(Esp to tackle)prolonged power failure.
? [blue][u]when its ok to visit ? [/blue][/u]
? whether its Naimisharanyam or Ayodhya or Triveni or Banaras late
July & August is Best suited
? (In Banaras Ganga/ganges flows as [blue][u]UTTRAVAHINI[/blue][/u]-
flowing towards north at Kasi/ Banaras Taking holy dip there is
considered auspicious & have the [blue][u]Dharshan of Bindu
Madawan . [/blue][/u]I'm not saying any thing about other
deities .its left to one's wish to have dharshan of them)
? One can also contact:- [blue][u] Mrs. Lakshmi Narasimhan at
Naimisharanyam thru' this Phone no.[/i]09936040748[/i] [/blue][/u]
who can arrange some vehicle to pick up from Lucknow(LKO) for
Naimisharanyam . & can also arrange vehicle (& other necessary
things like place to stay at Ayodhya)for Ayodhya Trip ( Ayodhya is
located approximately 240kms from Naimisharanyam via-Lucknow) from
