While
the Bala Murugan Temple is coated in yellow, the white painted Rama Temple is
less than a km from the same on the Palamathi Hills near Vellore. Thought the temple look newly painted I
believe it should be an old temple but I couldn’t get any detail about the
temple from the net or anywhere else and I took shot of the temple mainly for
the hanuman statue that stood in front of the temple tower.
The
pictures where shot from the car while we slowed down or almost stopped for few
seconds as the road was empty, the temple was located at a curve so I could only focus on front (shot from iphone) and the second
one was captured in cam by mom from the side window. The statue also looks like newly
installed and the Hanuman is posed with one hand bearing the Sanjeevi hill (a
mountain with medicinal plants that lord hanuman is believed to bring to cure
Lakshman and Rama) and standing on a mound, which is nothing but a hundial – a
collection box used in Hindu temples.

Wow, it's magnificent. I would love to see it in person.
Have a fabulous day. ☺
Wow! I have never seen anything like that before!
This temple is nice with interesting character and architecture.
Many Hindu temples look similar in my country which made me wonder whether all were built by same artisans and craft men from India.
Wow, nice looking idol. But having a collection box outside the Temple makes one feel the place maybe a bit over-commercialised.

The first word that popped into my brain when I saw the hanuman was, "stunning." It really is a beautiful sight. The colors draw your eyes right to it. Thank you for sharing it with us, Jeevan.

Hello, pretty views of the temple and statue. Happy Thursday, enjoy your day and weekend!
The hanuman statue is beautiful and very impressive looking. I never seen one before and I really like it. Thank you for sharing it Jeevan.
The statue and temple do look either new or newly painted. The temple is fascinating and I love how colorful the statue is!
Fabulous temple1
Shots from the vehicle sometimes work out great. I did that with a couple of horses the other day as I was right next to them. Not need to get out of the truck.
