Saturday was mundane and usual till dad suggested we take off to Parshwa Sushil Dham.
For Bengalureans, this place can transform a boring weekend into a fun, family day out. Parshwa Sushil Dham is a Jain shrine on NH-44, on Hosur road. It has 3 temple complexes, one under construction, a children's play area, stay rooms, a garden and a Bhojanalay (Cafeteria).
Directions and Timings :
This is the route I took.-
RPC Layout - Vijayanagar Main road - Mysore Road - Ring road - Nice Road. The highway that follows is the Hosur Road way for 7 to 8 kms and there's the temple on the left. Toll charges from Link road to Hosur road, on nice road is INR 115, one way.
My family and I left at 10 in the morning, and reached at 12 in the noon. The best part about these short visits are, you don't have to plan extensively. You wake up, get ready, and get going. The drive on Nice Road for about 40 kms is delighful, at any time of the day. However, nothing can beat the 7AM drive. Since we left a little late, we missed breakfast which ends by 10 AM.
The Main Temple
Also, it is a treat for architecture photographers.
The entire premises is clean and tidy. White marble temples with intricate carving make it even more enthralling.
Food:
Lunch is priced at a very reasonable, INR 60 per head, unlimited quantity. The menu differs everyday, but its the simple Indian roti, curry, dal, two types of rice, fries, and a sweet, all Jain. It is hygienic, filling, and people there are happy to serve you.
Nature and Stay:
For plant enthusiasts, there are also small vertical lawns, growing different types of flowers, tomatoes, pomegranate, green and red chillies, lemons and sapodillas. There are also rooms available for people planning to spend the weekend there, and have a peaceful break from hectic life. They are priced at INR 500 a day.
You can either hang around, play, or simply just sit on the cold marble stairs in the temple and enjoy fresh air. To sum up, its a great place to reconnect with your family, God, and most importantly, yourself.
