Temples in Karnataka

A major Murugan (Subrahmanya) temple 40 km from Bangalore, unique for its association with serpent worship (Sarpa Samskara) — second only to Kukke Subramanya in Karnataka for this ritual. The deity here is flanked by two serpents (Vasuki and Adisesha). Extremely popular with Bangalore devotees seeking relief from Sarpa Dosha.

A temple dedicated to Lord Subramanya (Karthikeya) at the foothills of the Western Ghats in Karnataka, renowned for its serpent-worship rituals believed to ease ancestral and astrological doshas. Legend holds that Subramanya took refuge here after receiving amrita from Vasuki, the serpent king, making it one of India's most significant Naga pilgrimage sites.
