History Of Anegudde Vinayaka Temple

Udupi, Karnataka, India
Sub Place Details: Anegudde Vinayaka Temple is one of the most sacred pilgrimage centers in Coastal Karnataka. The word Anegudde is a combination of two words – 'Aane' meaning 'Elephant' and 'Gudde' meaning 'Hillock'. It is the abode of Lord Vinayaka, the elephant-headed god who is worshipped as t he remover of obstacles. The temple is situated in Kumbhashi, which is historically known as one of the seven 'Mukti Sthalas' (places of salvation) created by Sage Parashurama. According to local mythology, when drought hit this region, Sage Agasthya performed penance to appease the rain god. During this time, the demon Kumbhasura began troubling the sages. To protect them, Lord Ganesha blessed the Pandava prince Bheemasena with a powerful sword, who then fought and slayed the demon right at this spot. The temple is visited by thousands of devotees every month who come to seek blessings for their new ventures and to offer thanks for fulfilled prayers. The serene hilltop location provides a panoramic view of the surrounding lush greenery and coconut groves. The spiritual aura of the temple is palpable the moment you step onto the 'Gudde' (hill). It is believed that Lord Ganesha here is extremely powerful and never lets his devotees go back empty-handed. The temple is managed by the Anegudde Temple Trust, which ensures that the premises remain clean and the traditional rituals are followed with utmost sincerity. Devotees often perform 'Tulabhara', a ritual where they offer items equal to their body weight to the deity. This temple is not just a place of worship but a historical monument that connects the modern world to the ancient Vedic era of India.
