How To Reach Kigga
Sringeri, Karnataka, India
The village of Kigga is famous for the Rishyasringeshwara Temple, dedicated to Lord Shiva and the sage Rishyasringa, the son of Vibhandaka. Legend from the Ramayana says that Rishyasringa was born with a horn (Shrunga) on his head and was instrumental in performing the Putrakameshti Yaga for King Da sharatha, which resulted in the birth of Lord Rama and his brothers. After the Yaga, the sage returned to this spot, which was then called Shrunga-giri (now Sringeri), and performed penance. The Shiva Linga in the sanctum is unique, said to have a small horn-like projection, representing the union of Lord Shiva and the sage Rishyasringa, who was absorbed into the Lingam here. The temple is believed to have the power to avert famine and bring abundant rainfall, a belief stemming from the sage's association with bringing rain to King Romapada's kingdom. The peaceful environment, surrounded by the dense forests of the Western Ghats, makes it a perfect spiritual retreat.
