The gentle ripple of the water and the quiet atmosphere transport visitors to a time when this temple served as a center of culture, worship, and community, a legacy beautifully preserved in every stone and every drop of water.
Situated 80 KM away from Koraput, Gupteswar Temple is a must visit cave shrine dedicated to Lord Shiva. Besides being a popular Hindu temple, the place also has a lot on offer for any nature lover.
The Padmanabhaswamy Temple in Thiruvananthapuram is dedicated to Lord Vishnu, who as per Hinduism is the preserver of life. Here he can be seen in his ‘Ananta Shayana’ form (eternal yogic sleep), on the infinite serpent Adishesha (Sheshnag).

Some of its vaults still remain closed, but whatever treasure has yet been discovered has catapulted this temple to being the Richest Temple in the World.
