In Bengaluru The Two Temples I Came Across; Leaving Anegundi For Hampi

In Bengaluru The Two Temples I Came Across; Leaving Anegundi For Hampi

While In Bengaluru visits to food outlet Gandharva Uphara which is in 12, 4th Cross R K Puram revealed the simplicity maintained here with no fear. The food on table was soft on stomach and the one holding the fort Mr Ravi and his peers on occasions having doughnuts. Visits as well to SRI BHAVAHARA GANPATHI TEMPLE and SRI ANNAMMADEVI MAHASAMSTHANA on S C Road were truly uplifting with those marking their attendance at the latter had possibilities least receding. SRI ANNAMMADEVI MAHASAMSTHANA HAD AUDIENCE surge during day time with some hoping their day to day itinerary won't stay still and would shine.

Taking A Stroll In Anegundi And Exploring

While taking a stroll in Anegundi came across Akhil Eco-friendly Handmade Paper Craft Shop as well as Jamia Masjid and here notable mention may be made of some of the places that come under Koppal Tourism. Perhaps if one were to take a ride in Sweekar ( public transport battery operated) and going past Hoova Cafe and Navavrundavana Darshini the will to explore could bring one face to face with

- Uramma Temple

- Honna Agasi

- Ranganath Temple

- Gagan Mahal

- Gram Panchayat

- Cottage Industry

- Navabrindavana Ghat

- 64 Pillar Mantapa

- Talwarghatta Gate

- Chintamani Temple Complex

- Hucchappayana Matha

- Durgadevi Temple

- Ane Maatu Onte Saalu

- Royal Palace

- Festival Ground

Anegundi Village

Anegundi is a significant historical site in Karnataka, located on the left bank of Tungabhadra river in Gangavathi Taluk. An inscription from 1349 AD refers to Anegundi as 'Bhaskara Kshetra Dakshina Varanasi Hastinapura'. During the Vijaynagara period foreign travelers like Nuniz and Dominge Paes mentioned Anegundi as ' Nagundium and Senagundium'. 

While going towards No 1 River Cross To Hampi there are bamboo made boats lying unattended. There is a solitary vessel on the side of Hampi trying to earn some brownie points. As ATMs in and around KVR Complex have shut shop and Hoova Cafe too not in functioning mode the hoarding of Spoorthi Group Of Institutions evoke little interest. Hoova Cafe and the little girl Shreya whom I came across in 2014 is now studying in Bengaluru and perhaps settling for meals from college canteen and this run by those who have never been to Rajasthan's Churu. 

Leaving For Hampi

As I left Anegundi acknowledging the true services rendered by members of Vaibhava Guest House (Mr Parshuram, Mr Malappa) the stay here in 2014, 2018 and 2025 were truly testament to the ideology that a base here can raise impeccable memories that you want to share. AS I left Anegundi on a Saturday with whisper in the corridors that the next place to rewind would be none other than Hampi where given the undiluted weather there is least urgency to run AC. The ride to Hampi lasted little over 25 minutes and having checked in Rocky Guest House ( Mr Rakesh Singh Is The Man Holding Fort) the room that is spared is spacious and neat and here in this town no one can sight cars' fleet.  

Made rounds of Prince Restaurant Home Made Food, Annapurna Cafe And Restaurant, Vishnu Restaurant, Archana Restaurant (river view), Archana Shop, Gopi Restaurant and other places. Visited Virupaksha Temple on a Monday and participated in Abhishek Prayer Session which was quite elaborate and the staff very helpful. And the trek to Vitthala Temple and back consumed little over two-and-a-half hour. The stay in Hampi wasn't that elaborate perhaps erasing hopes on keeping a date with all significant milestones which are to stay steady for eon. 

The stay in Rocky Guest House illustrated the innings of a resident who was sweet and caring enough to ensure the three day sabbatical was something to hail and greet.
