Heading back toward Bangalore, we spent two nights in Thiruvanmalai, the holy abode of Lord Arunachaleswar, the Agni (fire aspect) of Lord Shiva. Here we visited the Maharishi Tamana Ashram and attend the ritual and abhishekam at the Shiva Temple, which sits at the foot of the sacred mountain Arunachala.
We also shopped (say it isn’t so!), hiked the mountain in the rain, and then took a rickshaw tour around the mountain.

Climbing the mountain we saw lots of monkeys.
And then there were more monkeys.
