 Amla & Tawa Dam Trip. 16 to 19 February 2025.

16 February 2025. ( contd)

After our visit of Sanpna Dam, on the way back to A F Stn Amla we stopped at Rukmani Balaji Temple near Betul.

When Priti and I visited this temple it was right by the side of TWO LANE national highway. Today one has to take a detour of about one odd kilometre from SIX LANE National Highway to reach the temple.

The temple itself has undergone lots of changes, additional structures an amusement park and renovations with gold paint on the outer walls.

Temple architecture follows classical temple design and looks beautiful.

Photos taken are enclosed.

Two photos from our 2004 trip are also included.

Tomorrow we go to MPT Resort Tawa Dam.
