As
an
atheist,
my
visit
to
the
SOMASILA
Famous
Someshwara
Temple
was
not
driven
by
religious
sentiments,
but
rather
a
curiosity
to
explore
the
structure,
nature,
and
the
village
it
resides
in.
This
village
holds
a
special
place
in
my
heart,
being
the
birthplace
of
my
grandmother
and
mother.
Having
spent
a
significant
part
of
my
childhood
here,
my
perspective
is
shaped
by
a
familiarity
that
goes
beyond
religious
beliefs.
Let's
start
with
the
natural
beauty
that
surrounds
this
village.
It's
reminiscent
of
Goa,
with
its
earthy
charm.
However,
instead
of
sandy
beaches,
SOMASILA
boasts
a
landscape
dominated
by
mud,
stones,
and
rustic
simplicity.
The
absence
of
pollution
is
a
noteworthy
aspect,
allowing
one
to
breathe
in
the
fresh
air
and
escape
the
hustle
and
bustle
of
city
life.
The
accommodation
options
add
to
the
charm
of
the
village.
There
are
resorts
for
those
seeking
a
more
extended
stay,
providing
a
comfortable
retreat
amidst
the
tranquil
surroundings.
For
budget-conscious
travelers,
hourly
rooms
offer
a
convenient
and
affordable
option
to
rest
and
rejuvenate.
Turning
our
attention
to
the
temple
itself,
the
infrastructure
is
a
testament
to
ancient
craftsmanship.
Built
with
sturdy
stones
and
granites,
the
temple
stands
tall,
supported
by
pillars
that
have
weathered
the
test
of
time.
Inside
the
temple
compound,
there
is
ample
space
to
explore,
extending
beyond
the
sanctum
sanctorum.
It's
not
just
about
the
main
shrine;
there's
a
sense
of
history
and
spirituality
that
permeates
the
areas
surrounding,
behind,
and
beside
the
temple.
In
essence,
not
because
of
any
religious
fervor,
but
due
to
the
intrinsic
beauty
of
the
village,
the
simplicity
of
its
nature,
and
the
historical
significance
embedded
in
the
temple's
structure.
you
can
go
through
my
video
once
how
peaceful
it
is
