Ranganathaswamy Temple, Anegundi

Ranganathswany Temple is the most important temple in Anegundi as it was patronized by the Anegundi kings. The temple is located strategically at the center of the town. Here the main deity is Lord Vishnu who reclines on a serpent called Adisesha. The temple also houses goddess Lakshmi and Bhoodevi (mother earth). At the entrance of the temple we can see a brass tower which is typical of south Indian temples.

In front of the temple on the other side of the road is a wooden chariot which is used for procession of Lord Ranganatha during Ranganatha festival in April every year.

Huchhappaya Matt, Anegundi

May 10th, 2012 by admin

The first thing we saw in Anegundi after crossing Tungabhadra river is Huchhappaya Matt. It is a few minutes walk from the river bank. From the circle, one need to take the right hand road.  Here a sage named Huchchappaiah mediated here and hence the name. The temple has ornamental carved pillars from black granite stones.  The green surrounding of the temple gives a very peaceful feelings.

Though apart from that nothing much to see here, we sat for sometime enjoying wind breeze and doing some nice photo session.
