Sri Bhagandeshwara Swamy Temple - Bhagamandla

 

The Bhagamandala village in Coorg, Karnataka State, is home to the 898-meter-high Sri Bhagandeshwara Temple.

Lord Shiva manifests as Sri Bhagandeshwara Swami. The premises have Lord Subramanya and Lord Ganesha placed.

This place is also known as Bhagandeshwara Kshetra, from which the name Bhagamandala is derived.

The temples in this region were constructed in the West Coast Karavali style.

Pilgrims gather in this location in significant numbers during Tula Sankramana, which takes place on October 17 or 18.

A resident sage named Bhaganda successfully completed Shanmukha's penance. This is Subramanya's village, also known as Skanda Kshetra. This was gifted to Bhaganda Maharshi by Subramanya. Skanda Kshetra's distinguishing feature is the tapobhoomi of the saints and the settlement of God. Shivalinga is installed by Bhaganda Sage, who also gives the area the name Bhaganda Kshetra and becomes Bhagandeshwara the local deity.   The river Kaveri is known as Parama Pavana  when it reaches Bhagamandala and unites with the Kanaka and Sujjyothi tributaries. This area is known as Thriveni Sangama. It is stated that spiritual enlightenment will be obtained very quickly thanks to this's enhancement of siddhi and tapa siddhi. The belief will be supported by the experiences of countless saints and Sadhus.
