At Trichy, the Rock Fort is a a huge 83 meter rock which is approximately 3800 million years. Uchhi Pillaiyar Temple is located right on top of this peak. One can reach this Lord Ganesh shrine by climbing a series of steps approximately 350 steps.
This impressive 7th century temple during reign of Pallavas and completed during the period of Nayaks of Maduri. One can reach this shrine by climbing a series of steps approximately 350 steps carved out of the rock. Half way to the peak, we have to pass through another ancient temple Sri Thayumanavar Temple. Tough climb to the top is eased by the soothing cool breeze. Though the temple is small it is worth the visit.

That's quite a climb no doubt a deliberate part of the pilgrimage to worship at the shrine but it looks worth the effort.

What an amazing place, I'd love to climb those steps.
It would have be very special to get me up those steps. How's about I watch you climb up there and take photos of you coming down? :-) Very interesting!
Amazing and beautiful place, Rajesh, and such lovely, peaceful skies for a backdrop! Have a wonderful weekend!

That is truly unusual, the temple seems so small, but I guess that is just an illusion.;)
