Dear SrIvaishnavas,

As already informed we our Kshetradanam of Hassan Dist Temples, on 14th

January as planned at 7 Am . We proceeded to Shanthigrama . By the time

we reached Shanthigrama it was 12.45Pm ( Unusualy late). We had beautiful

seva of Nrusimhan and Keshava. Then since it became late we had to

reschedule the plan . So we proceeded to Haranahalli . which is 25 Kms from

Shanthi Grama, A beautiful Keshava Templeis there, But unfortunately the

Bhattar had gone to Tiptur. From there we proceeded to Javagal. Here

also it is Thirukootachala Temple, Then Main deity is Sridhara, and upa

devathas are Lakshmi Narasimha and Venugopala.

 

The Sridhara Perumal temple, which belongs to the latter part of the 13th

century, is a three-cell structure standing on a terrace; the main call

houses the Sridhara'simage, although the temple is called after Lakshmi

Narashima (whose image is to the left of Sridhara, and the other cell having

the image of Gopala). There is a common center hall and porch. The walls of

the temple are adorned with more than one hundred and thirty large

figure-sculptures. There is also a smaller shrine where the 12 Alvar saints

of the our sampradaya are worshipped.

 

Detailed sthala Purana will be hosted in your website

of India, )
