the forests at Skandasramam

A beautifully splendid location in the forests at Skandasramam - some devotees are seen here at early dawn or later, in the evening. Just sitting here, and looking within.

The forests at Skandasramam are catching up with the good efforts of the Tamil Nadu Forest Department. There has to be more efforts to strengthen the forests here.

There are plenty of serene spots around Skandasramam, protected and shaded by the forests of Arunachala.
