Sasthamkotta : Visited on January 2011
Sasthamkotta is in Kollam District, Kerala. This place is famous for Sasthamkotta Lake & Sasthamkotta temple.
The Lake here in Sasthamkotta is the largest fresh water lake in Kerala.
The place gets its name from the ancient Sastha temple located near the banks of the lake. The temple is one of the most prominent temples for Sabrimala Pilgrims.
The surroundings are calm, stress reliving & refreshing.
Sasthamkotta temple is dedicated to both both Lord Ganesha and Lord Ayyappa. The temple is surrounded by hills and forests and huge number of monkeys are inhabitants to this place. This is considered holy as the monkeys here are believed to be the faithful entourage of dharmasastha. They are friendly & devotees find pleasure in feeding them..
Note : Pics does not justify the beauty of the place. The photos were captured on year 2011
