Siddaganga mutt, Tumkur, Karnataka

This entire blog meant for traveling photography, these photos viewable for every eye with different angle, two of my gear’s awaiting a journey after one month, and of course it must be a complete one, a day out towards Siddaganga Mutt at Tumkur district. This journey provokes the mind into perspective way, the beautiful nature around after a rainy day and the spiritual sense. An adorer who visit the temple, mosque, church or Gurudwara whatever, his meditation and prayer finally meant for the word “Desire”, God is the only super natural power in this world where one can feel subside his accountability of good and bad.

Seer who came here for meditation and dissemination of Shiaivism thus the siddaganga mutt comes in to shrine. The name Siddaganga evolved from “sacred Ganga “(sacred water) which is nearby the cave, where one of the saint was in severe thirst and he prayed his Guru Sri Golasiddeshwara , Sri Golasiddeshwara started from Hale mutt and came towards the cave he strike the stone by his knee and a leap  water hole is created thus the Holy water called as Ganga, birth of this sacred water by saint (saint = “Siddaru”) was named as “ SIDDAGANGA “ this place was later immaculate by sri yediyur siddhalingeshwara swamy through his meditation. This Holy Ganga water is been worshiped as “Siddagangamma devi “and Siddalingeshwara swamy temple present opposite to this temple.

Apart from this the Sree mutt conducting the Akshara dasoha in Karnataka, promoting the education and morality. Sri shivakumara swamiji  (“Nededaduva Devaru”) is the present Mathadhipathi of sri Siddaganga Mutt, it’s an appreciated work from both Sri Siddaganga Mutt and Sri Adichunchanagiri mutt conducting the Akshara Dasoha in a vast manner and both are two eyes of Karnataka.

koravangala temple, Hassan, Karnataka

Presenting one more post of Hoysala architecture, the most beautiful temples of Karnataka, koravangala Bhucheshwar temple is in Hassan district, it's a 12 km distance from the district head quarters. it was built by Hoysala King Veera Ballala 2nd, this temple was built in 1173 A.D, i am visiting these type of temples and collecting snaps would create some level of interest for the usual visitors of Belur and Halebidu. Many of the historical monuments are still being ignored, best example is Sri Govindeshwara temple that is in ruined state which is near to the premises of koravangala Bhuchechwara temple, If you could see the last images where those temples are completely ignored and is really richer in architecture. This temple is protected as a monument of national importance by the Archaeological Survey of India, near by ruined Sri Govindeshwara temple also comes under the same government entity but difficult to understand the ignorance.


How to reach Koravangala Bhucheshwara Temple
Hassan - koravangala : This place comes on the way to Hassan - Arasikere route, koravangala comes after cheernalli, there were no boards for this route due to widening of the existing road, ask any villager to know the exact route.
