Butterflies

Butterflies are part of the class of insects in the order Lepidoptera, along with the moths.

Adult butterflies have large, often brightly coloured wings, and conspicuous, fluttering flight.

Very difficult to spot them near our houses because of the pollution, electromagnetic radiation and so on..

However, when I found I couldn't stop capturing it!!! It looks beautiful!!!

On realising it's being captured, I thought it would fly however to my surprise it opened its wings to give me more colors wow!!!

So beautiful! Made me fall in love with nature, birds once again ☺️

Happy Vaikunta Ekadasi

Vaikunta Ekadasi is an important festival dedicated to Bhagvan Srihari Vishnu in the Tamil month of Margazhi (December -January). Vaikunda Ekadesi festival is of great significance at the Tirupati Balaji Temple, Srirangam Sri Ranganatha Temple and at the Bhadrachalam Temple.

It is widely believed that the gates to the heaven open - the Gate of Vaikuntha - on the Vaikunta Ekadasi day. It is one of the most auspicious days in Vishnu Temples in South India.

The ‘Vaikunta Dwaram’ or ‘the gate to the heaven’ is opened on this day. This is the passage encircling the innermost sanctum of the Lord. Scores of devotees queue up to pass through the Gate of Vaikunta in Vishnu Temples in Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh and Telangana.
