Bengaluru-Mysuru Highway, near Maddur
In Channapatna Taluk of Ramanagara District, along Bengaluru-Mysuru Highway, there is 11th Century Temple, which has Vishnu as main idol and SRI APRAMEYA SWAMY AND NAVANEETH KRISHNA (AMBEGALU KRISHNA)
Lord Aprameya has sankha,chakra,gadha and padma in all the four hands and in abhaya hasta mudra. Other Deities in the shrine are Sri Vykunta Narayanaswamy and Sri Anjaneyaswamy, Ramanuja and oher alwars.
The MAIN & BIGGEST attraction is the sanctum dedicated to child/baby Krishna in the name of NAVANEETHA KRISHNA, in crawling posture,carrying a grab of butter in one hand. The idol,on a Garuda peetam is beautiful and mesmerising. Baby Krishna is quite attractive with captivating eyes and cute pose. Baby krishna can be seen without alankara / fully clad with butter / adorned with jewels,ornaments and flowers.
BELIEF : Childless couple visit this Krishna and when prays sincerely,they beget a baby soon. After this the couple visit the temple with the child, thank the Lord by hanging a silver/wooden cradle in the sanctum.
We were there for about one hour, going round, special pooja was going on with many devotees following the ritual.
