I had an opportunity to visit Swananda Loka, an upcoming Ganapathi Temple in Hoyasala style of architecture, housed in the Swananda Ashrama complex located in the Agara village in Tataguni, 3 km off Kanakapura Road.
Swananda Loka is believed to be the heavenly abode of Lord Ganesha.
The 9-acre temple complex area with lush green gardens is a feast to the eyes and mind. The piolet project was completed successfully and the model called Ganapathi Panchayathana is open to visitors. Around the main shrine, the temple would have 4 shrines for the 4 Yuga Ganapathis and idols of 32 manifestations of Lord Ganapathi.
In this Swanandashrama complex, there is also a temple for Lord Subramanya and another one for Devi. In this Devi temple, Goddess is sitting on the snake.
A goshala is also there where cows are taken care of.
The Ashram also promotes education of rural children and organizes socio cultural events.
I was blessed to attend a Mangalarthi puja in the temple which was followed by a great lunch.
Temple time -
8 am to 12 noon and
5 pm to 8 pm
