[nukkad] Two interesting points

[Nivraaj Consultants <>]

a) There is a temple called Srisailam in AP, India,
which Shivaji the Maratha emperor visited in 1650 odd,
and he was so moved, that he tried to end his life
there, and was restrained with much difficulty. He
left behind a contingent of Maratha warriors to guard
the temple, and these brave men gave up their lives
guarding it against a later Mughal attack. descendants
of these brave warriors pay an annual visit to
Srisailam even today.

b) The only temple in India which has Lord Vishnu as a
Tortoise avatar is in AP.
