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.
