Gargeshwari - T.Narsipur

Gargeshwari (Yanthrodharaka Mahaganapathi)

Information :  ಹೀಗೂ ಉಂಟೇ!!!

           This is our first blog and we selected Gargeshwari near to T.Narsipur to give a start to this job, as we would and we like to begin in the god’s name, That’s the kind of people we are!!!

It was a nice outing away from the roaring traffic jam and cacophonous college lectures. Myself Sachin, Nishanth, Veere Gowda, Bharath, Sandeep, Dhanshekar, 6 of us on 3 bikes were on a trip to Gargeshwari (Near T.Narsipur).

(Route: Bangalore ->(45 Kames) Kanakapura ->(42 Kms) Malavalli ->(35 Kms) T.Narsipura ->(15 Kms) Talakad -> T. Narasipura->(2 Kms)Gargeshwari ->(26 kMs). You can also traverse on Mysore road and reach Malavalli.)

We got to know about this temple from ಹೀಗೂ ಉಂಟೇ!!! (TV9). This temple is situated in the midst of houses in the Gargeshwari village near T.Narsipur. Once you arrive at the temple you can see the colorful statue of Ardhanareeshwara above the main entrance.

            The main attraction of this temple is the small Ganesha , which is about 5- 6 Kgs.  This is the Yanthrodharaka Mahaganapathi, consecrated by Gargacharya., which will give you indication as to your prayer will happen or not.

            First time you need to pray in your mind and pay a token of Rs.10 to the poojari who will be sitting next to the idol and lift the idol of Lord Ganesha if it comes easily for you it is believed that your work will happen. If the lifting of idol is not so easy then your work will happen but with delay. If the Idol cannot be lifted by you then your work will not happen. One cannot apply any strength to lift the idol as it will not come up.

Next time you need to lift the ganesha idol again and if the prayer what you had in your mind happens then the idol won’t come-up even if you put hardest of your effort.
