Temples in Turuvekere

*Sri.Gangadhareshwara Temple

Sri.Gangadhareshwara Temple at Turuvekere, is unique in its kind. The unique difference here, the Shiva Idol is carved with Ganga sitting on top of his head and one can see fountains of water being flowing in the form Prabhavali.
It is the only temple which is having such depiction of Ganga and Shiva being together. Also, the Uthsava Murthy made out of Bronze is having an extra eye on the right foot, which also is a unique in nature. 

In front of the temple, one can find beautifully carved Nandi which is aroun 7+ feet in height which is decorated with bells and belt carved with unique design. The sitting Nandi is being polished to such an extent that one can see the reflection in it. Also, the idol is very much intact and not being ruined anywhere.

The other attraction in the temple is a bell made out of rock, which is around 2 feet in diameter and one can get the ringing sound by using rock or any metal piece.
Just below the bell is the carving of Bedara Kannappa offering his eyes to Lord Shiva, this carving is not found anywhere in other temples.
