Sthalam

&nbsp;

Ghati Subramanya (Kannada: ಘಾಟಿ ಸುಬ್ರಮಣ್ಯ) is a Hindu temple, situated on the outskirts of Bangalore near Tubagere, Doddaballapura, Karnataka, India. It is 60 km from the city and is a popular pilgrimage centre.

The uniqueness of this temple is that the prime deity Lord Karthikeya, is found together with Lord Narasimha.

According to mythology, both idols are believed to have emerged from the earth. It is also an important centre in South India for worship of the Hindu deity Kethu. Special rituals are performed during Brahmarathotsava, i.e., on the day of Pushya shudda Shashti. Narasimha Jayanti is the other major festival celebrated here.

Ghati Subramanya has a recorded history of more than 600 years. It was first developed by the Ghorpade rulers of Sandur who ruled parts of Bellary.

The more fascination fact about this temple is that, both Deities are carved on a single self manifested (swayambhu) deities with Lord Sri Subramanya in a seven hooded serpent form (cobra) facing east and Bhagavan Sri Lakshmi Narasimha facing west.

We can view Bhagavan Sri Lakshmi Narasimha through strategically placed mirror inside the &lsquo;garbha gudi / sthala&rsquo; (sanctum sanctorum) of the temple.
