30. Temple of the Visa God- Balaji Temple, Chilkur, Hyderabad

Some Gods bring you prosperity, some grant you protection, but the 21st CE God of the  Balaji Temple in Chilkur, on the outskirts of Hyderabad, has the power to grant you a Visa to the  US! Now popular as Visa Balaji Temple, many dollar-driven people, even those from other religions, come here to take the blessings of Visa Balaji before their Visa interviews. If they get a visa, they  must keep their vow and take 108 rounds of the inner shrine. Laugh if you want,  but this is one admirable example of an old world existing in a new one.



One life just isn't enough to see all that there is to see  in Incredible India. Maybe that's why we Indians believe in reincarnation.
