<p>Believe it or not, this <strong>sui generis temple</strong> in the bustling city of Channapatna in Karnataka has dogs as the main deities.

History
<p>According to folklore, <strong>Goddess Kempamma appeared in one of the villager's dreams and commanded him to locate the dogs that had vanished from the hamlet to safeguard her temple from evil</strong>. When villagers couldn't find the missing canines, they decided to build a tiny shrine as per mother Kempamma's command.</p> <p><img alt="Photo" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/p/AF1QipNC776Uhg1YDMUJu6FucFV7SuHgp_GxKI1eG4R5=s680-w680-h510" /></p>
