VARAMAHALAKSHMI FESTIVAL 2026

 Friday, August 21, 2026

Neighbourhood, Birthimane, Bhuvaneshwarinagara, Bengaluru.

Vramahalakshmi Festival is falling on Friday preceeding Poornima, August 21.

The festival dedicated to Goddess Lakshmi, Married women, (Sumangaliyaru) praying for family well being, health and prosperity.

Mom visited three houses to receive kumkum and prasada, and at place, I also went by car, Su mm,chindra-Radhika's House.

The essences of the Goddess, indeed of all females, are said to be arishina and kunkum [sic]. ... Turmeric, though applied to the exterior of the female, to her skin, enlivens her interior life, layering her from within, adding depth and texture. She glows more intensely from within. ... Her self-shining seems also to signal the intensification of coherence and integrity, equalities of selfness, the qualities of depth. . . . Through the essences of turmeric and vermilion, goddess and woman overlap, periodically, momentarily.

God Bless All.

BHEEMESHWARI TEMPLE - BHEEMAESHWARA

 Sunday, August 16, 2026

Bheemehwara Temple, Near Kargal, Shivamogga Dist.

From Hongirana School (Sobha's Place) started off to Bheemeshara, a distance of 75 Km, which took by car about 90 minutes, as it is driving through Western Ghats.

From the main road, we have to go by rugged Jeep for 3 km,  as there is only track, mud sludge and rocks.

After getting down from the Jeep, you walk up 100 steps to reach the temple.

The Archak at the temple, Subramanya, narrated the history of the place.

This ancient Shiva temple is an offbeat paradise nestled inside a cave within the Sharavati Valley Wildlife Sanctuary. It is famous because a 50-foot waterfall flows directly next to the deity and never dries up throughout the year.

After the Darashna at the temple, it was time to spend in flowing water.

Helping hand to walk down....

It was both adventurous and devotional trip to Bheemeshwari.

SRI UMAMAHESHWARA TEMPLE, HOSAGUNDA

 Monday, August 17, 2026

Hosagunda, Sagara Taluk, Shivamogga Dist.

On our way back from Hongirana, we stopped over at Hosagunda, to visit Sri Umamaheshwara Temple. 

ಅರ್ಚಕ ಉಮಾಮಹೇಶ್ವರ ಅವರೊಡನೆ ಸಂಭಾಷಣೆ 

Tucked away in a remote corner of the Western Ghats, Hosagunda's beautiful temples have been all but lost to neglect. Once the land of royal dynasties, Hosagunda is a place of historical & religious importance, with many temples dating back a thousand years.

Situated amid a lush green forest, around sixty (60) kms from Shimoga, Karnataka (Southern India) and around sixteen (16) kms from Sagar, these magnificent temples and stone inscriptions narrate tales of a bygone era. They speak of royal traditions, of a culturally rich and spiritually oriented society and of a town that served as a capital for more than three hundred (300) years.

Unfortunately, unable to withstand the relentless march of time, today this priceless legacy is in ruins. The monuments and inscriptions have been buried and are on the verge of vanishing altogether. They are crying out for support, to maintain their very existence.

ಒಂದು ಸಾವಿರ ವರ್ಷದ ಹಿಂದಿನ ಅದ್ಭುತವಾದ ಕೆತ್ತನಗಳು 

Hosagunda is waiting for a breath of freshness and prosperity, waiting to realize the dream of renovation and reconstruction and reinventing of lost splendor. To convert this place into "an abode of peace", a paradise for every human inclination - for peace; for religious and spiritual inclination; for reliving a bygone era; for experiencing nature and for plain clean fun. Thus making it a "MUST VISIT" place for everyone.

More people must visit the place and know about the history and grandeur of bygone era.

We spent about an hour and left from the place.
