Nag Mandir - Snake Temple
The Nag Mandir, or literally Snake Temple, is one that is dedicated to the snake goddess. We visited the Nag Mandir on the recommendation of Navya, one of my students in standard eleven.
We went in a rickshaw (its only a few kilometers away from where we are staying in Secunderabad) along with Virajita and Vipanchika.
Unfortunately photography is not allowed inside the temple itself, so we were limited to some photos from the surrounding grounds.

About the Exchange
"The Fulbright Program, the U.S. government's flagship program in international educational exchange, was proposed to the U.S. Congress
in 1945 by then freshman Senator J. William Fulbright of Arkansas. In the aftermath of World War II, Senator Fulbright viewed the proposed program as a much-needed vehicle for promoting "mutual understanding between the people of the United States and the people of other countries of the world." His vision was approved by Congress and the program signed into law by President Truman in 1946.
Fulbright grants are made to U.S. citizens and nationals of other countries for a variety of educational activities, primarily university lecturing, advanced research, graduate study and teaching in elementary and secondary schools. Since the program’s inception, approximately 279,500 participants—chosen for their academic merit and leadership potential—with the opportunity to exchange ideas and to contribute to finding solutions to shared issues."
