Suvarnamukhi Anjaneya Temple

1.5kms from Sri Lakshmi Narasimha Swamy Temple behind the mountain, inside the Bannerghatta forest is the famous Suvarnamukhi Kalyani. The water in this Kalyani is believed to have curative powers. Locals will tell you that a dip here will cure you of several  diseases.

This is the place where Emperor Janamejaya took bathe and prayed after which he was released from sarpa dosha or the curse of the snake. He also got a golden body after he had bathed in this pod. Hence, it is called Suvarnamukhi. He then consecrated the idol of Champakadhama Swamy (Sri Champakadhama Swamy Devalaya)

The Pushkarini, Kalyani or pond is emptied once an year so that the rock at the bottom, which is engraved with the image of Anjaneya, maybe worshipped. After worship, water is once again let into the pond.

You can start your trek to the overhanging hill either from the Champakadhama Swamy Temple or from Kalkare, a small village. The path will lead you to Suvarnamukhi Hill.

Japanese Fish!!

The Japanese have always loved fresh fish. But the waters close to Japan have not held many fish for decades. So to feed the Japanese population, fishing boats got bigger and went farther than ever. The farther the fishermen went, the longer it took to bring in the fish. If the return trips took more than a few days, the fish were not fresh. The Japanese did not like the taste.

Moral :

Some of us are also living in a pond but most of the time tired & dull, so we need a Shark in our life to keep us awake and moving? Basically,in our lives Sharks are new challenges to keep us active and taste better...

Enjoy the Challenge!!
