So a place that had a really different reality than what I expected is a temple that I recently visited named Manakamana Mandir. The reason I was able to go there was because my mother suggested I just be around the village while I was in her hometown during my summer break. So my initial expectations were not much. I just imagined a simple normal temple in a hilly area with not much scenery and too many people crowded, but when I reached there, the journey in itself was crazy. The scenery that I saw in my journey was absolutely stunning. I could see hills, I could see the sun rising, I could see the birds chirping.
