Saraswati temple- the only one in India

There is a small town on the banks of Godavari, about 35 km from Nizamabad, and 180 km from Hyderabad, call Basra. It is famous for Saraswati temple (pic below). The idol is kept in the open and river Godavari flows behind this. All in all, a unique experience. One could take a holy dip in Godavari, offer prayers to Saraswati Goddess. From Hyderabad, it takes less than 4 hours to reach. So, one could reach back Hyderabad by 6 Pm, adfter leaving at 7 am. Though there are small eateries located there, it is advisable to take food with u.

Finally, Indian cricket team gave something to cheer

Last night, Indian team fought, and fought hard to defeat South Africa in the Pro 20 match. That it was their first ever official 20-20 match, the achievement was more creditable. Again, it was another newcomer in the team, Dinesh Kaarthik, wicket-keeper batsman, who stole the limelight. He was brilliant in the field earlier on and while batting, he displayed immense common sense that even the Indian team seniors seem to be lacking these days. One can only hope for some better performance in the last one day match to be played tomorrow.
Cheers!
