Hey guys, welcome to Tourific Vlogs!

Anegudde Sri Vinayaka temple is in Kundapur Taluk, Udupi district, Karnataka, India. This place is also known as Kumbhashi. It is about 9 km from Kundapur. Anegudde is one of the seven ‘Mukti Sthalas’ (Parashurama Kshetra)in coastal Karnataka. Other places to visit in Kumbashi are "Shree Harihara temple", " Shree Surynarayana temple" and "Shree Aiyappa swamy temple". All the three temples are located in the vicinity of "Anegudde temple". This sacred spot was called as Harihara Kshethra during Krutha Yuga, Madhukanana in Thretha Yuga and Gowthama in Dwapara Yuga. In Kali Yuga, it is famous as Kumbhashi. Lord Vinayaka here is said to be a swayambhu (emerged by himself) who manifested in Dwapara Yuga. The Moolabimba is massive in size and exhibited in the form of an elephant. Only the trunk portion is clearly visible and the darshana of this deity is symbolic. It is also believed that the statue of Lord Ganapathi is growing every year. While the name Kumbhashi is said to be derived from Kumbhasura, who was slain here. The story behind the name goes like this…. Long ago when this area was hit by drought, sage Agasthya came here to perform yagna to please the rain god. During that time the demon Kumbhasura tried to disrupt the yagna by troubling sages performing the yagna. To rescue the sages Lord Ganesha blessed Bheema, the strongest among the Pandavas(In their exile period) with a sword, using which Bheema killed the demon and facilitated the completion of the yagna. Hence the name Kumbashi. The name Anegudde comes from Aane (elephant) and Gudde (hillock), as it is the abode of the elephant-headed god, Sri Vinayaka. Here, Lord Ganapathi is also called, ‘Siddhi Vinakaya’ and ‘Sarva Siddhi Pradaayaka’, the provider of all boons. People come here with all kinds of wishes. Lord Vinayaka here is said to fulfill all the wishes of his devotees.
