Indoor Exhibit at Mystic Aquarium, CT, USA

By -

Let us explore Indoor Exhibit in Mystic Aquarium in this post. This is the exhibit, where you will spend the maximum amount of time in the aquarium, as there are many species to watch. 


There is a section where you can find clownfish and anemones. There is another section in this exhibit, the nurse sharks and sand tigers are there. The green sea turtle is an added attraction in that section. You can find the animals that live in the Amazon by day and the mysterious inhabitants that emerge only at nights in the section named 'Hidden Amazon.' The Hidden Amazon is amazing. 


Fluorescent Corals section is my favorite one. I learned how fluorescence is produced only from here. Nowhere else, I have seen coral reef illuminating and changing colors for every minute lively. It was altogether a new experience for me. I am sure you will also enjoy this place.


Anemone garden is located almost at the heart of the indoor exhibit. You can find crabs, sea stars, and other such 30-35 species that are generally found in the New England area. find crab


Wanna a face to face encounter with sea star? Want to hold a crab or lift a lobster? 

Everything is possible in the Discovery lab.


There is a lot to explore in this area. You can also find species such as sea horses, traveler fish, poisonous fish, etc. There is a separate section for nocturnal species where you can spot bats too. My memory is not so great. I don't think I can write about all the species in the Indoor Exhibit. Do visit this place, explore more and enjoy. Let me jump onto another exhibit in my next post. Till then...


Happy travelling.

In April 2022, the 146 feet tall image of Murugan was consecrated near Salem in Tamil Nadu. However, they are all stucco images. But, the one that we find on the college campus is a monolithic granite icon. Thus, it is the tallest stone icon of Murugan in the entire world. A stone weighing 320 tonnes was brought from Siruvambur near Wallajah, and it was carved to 140 tonnes to get this beautiful and gigantic sculpture. The entire temple complex is designed in the shape of the Devanagiri letter "Om", which can be appreciated in the aerial view.  The west-facing gigantic sculpture is located atop the star-shaped pedestal.

Navapashanam is an amalgam of nine poisonous herbs. It is said to act as a remedy for all types of diseases. It is believed that the Siddhas knew the secret formula to prepare this medicinal potion.  The sculpture of Murugan from the famous Palani is claimed to be made of Navapashanam. Similarly, there is a lesser-known temple near Chennai, which has a Navapashanam Murugan. In Hastinapuram near Chrompet in the southern outskirts of Chennai, in a congested lane called Masjid Street, this tiny temple of Bala Murugan is situated. Murugan, made of Navapashanam, is the presiding deity.  Jalakandeeswara Linga, Meenakshi, and the Siddha who found this temple are the other Murtis found in the temple. Happy travelling.
