[Skywatch Friday] Prayer to the skies

While in Kerala, we drove down to this Palace town called Thirupunithura.. A town that has over 45palaces, where they were referred to as Palace 1, 2, or palace 13... We did visit one palace, said to be the oldest in the area, nearly 250yrs old called the Bungalow Palace.... As we walked around the town, we spotted this famous temple- Shri Poornathrayeesha Temple, Lord Vishnu's temple in the form of Santhanagopala Murthy. It is also the temple for the Royal Family ...

This is one wall that surrounds the temple.. The architecture, the colours, and the entire layout was beautiful...
