Munnar is a mesmerizing hill station located in the Idukki district of Kerala. Munnar derives its name from the 3 rivers that confluence here. Rolling mountains, moving mists, flying clouds, rich green slopes & trees swaying to the cool mountain breeze - it all transports one to a mesmerizing magical world !
Pushkarni or kalyani – by themselves are an work of art. But this one by Hoysala Kings (in 1163 A.D) – is probably a milestone in the art of constructing Pushkarinis. The details in the work is amazing. This beautiful sacred pool of water is situated in a small village called Hulikere (Huli means tiger and kere refers to a pond), 5 Km from Halebeedu. Surrounded by lush greenery, the water can be reached via the descending stone steps. Locals say that the sanctums and sanctuaries of this pushkarini represent the 12 Zodiac & 27 stellar constellations. This particular day, there was not much water in the pushkarni, but the golden morning sunlight flooded the place and made it even more magical.
