This stone can create a magnetic field around itself that helps the Linga float from above the ground.

About Me

Hi, I am Lakshmi Reddy, a travel lover and storyteller. I travel at almost all p[aces and share my experiences of the same. 

My love for travel rose since a very young age and found no parallel to it whatsoever. I somehow found peace by travelling to big and small trips with my parents as a child and grew up creating an obsession with it.

This blog focuses on my travel experience on the holy shrines of Dwarkadhish Temple and Somnath Temple of Gujarat
