Sunset on the banks of river Godavari

I am not a great photographer but, just had a chance to click some snaps on my mobile at the right time. This is a place called Parnashala village which is about 30Kms to the famous temple of Lord Rama at Bhadrachalam, State of Telangana, India.It is said the "Lord Sri Rama" spent some of the 14 years of exile at this location. The demon king "Ravana" parked his Pushpaka on the hillock on the opposite side of the river and abducted Sitadevi. An earthen ditch reportedly caused when Ravana removed earth to carry off Sita to Lanka can be seen here. It is also said that Parnashala is the location where Rama killed Maricha, who came in disguise of a golden deer to deceive Sita. You can walk around the place and there is a replica of the hut Lord Rama and mother Sita lived. It is a pleasant place and boat rides are available to take you on the beautiful Godavari river.
