Sri Adi Madhavaraya Temple -Bellur
Sri Adi Madhavaraya temple is located at the village of Belluru at Nagamangala Taluk, in Mandya District, Karnataka. Adi Madhava Raya Temple built in 1270 A.D is a Trikootachala, three celled temple raised on a stellate parapet. The main cell houses a fine image of Adi-Madhava (one of the 24 forms of Maha Vishnu).
The unique feature of the form is that the Lord holds Chakra in upper right hand and Shanka in the upper left. The lower right hand holds Gada and the lower left has Padma. To the left of Adi-Madhava we find Janardhana image and to the left we see Venugopala.
The vigraha of Lord Adi Madhava here is found placed on a garuda pedestal. The deity graces from the main sanctum sanctorum (garbhagriha), with the images of Dashavatara carved above the deity. The shrines of Lord Venugopala and Laksminarayana were more recently built and are positioned on either side of the main mukhamantapa. The prakara of this temple houses the shrine of Goddess Saumyanayaki to the left while Goddess Ranganayaki graces from the right side.
Traditionally in most
South Indian temples, the Lord’s consort mostly graces from a separate shrine and not along with the Lord from the main sanctum. In case of Devi Saumyanayaki here, the Goddess graces from a separate shrine. Thus she is actually believed to be the consort of Lord Adi Madhava and not the other deity Venugopala.
Despite the information that Sri Adi Madhavaraya temple was built in 1284 A.D, evidence point out that the temple and tank were in fact constructed in 1269 A.D by Perumale Dandanayaka. A record dated 1269 A.D found from Belluru mentions the deities here as Lord Trikuta Lakshminarayana, Gopala and Kodi Madhava. Yet as per record refers the deities as lord Prasanna Madhava, Ramakrishna and Varada Allalanatha. A third record confirms that the deity was called Sri Adimadhava from the 17th Century onwards. These information indicated that Lord Laksmi-Narayana and Gopala were from the Mulesingeshwara temple soon arrived after the construction of Adi Madhava temple
Festivals
The winter festival called Karuhabba is the most popular festivals celebrated in this temple.

According to legend, the temple was built by a local chieftain named Bommanna Nayaka, who was a devotee of Lord Shiva. He is said to have been inspired by a divine dream, in which Lord Shiva appeared to him and instructed him to build a temple dedicated to him. Bommanna Nayaka followed the instructions, and he built the temple with the help of his subjects. The temple was then consecrated by a group of priests who performed the necessary rituals and offerings.
It is believed that the Lord Vaidyanatheshwara can cure various ailments and diseases, and devotees come to the temple seeking his blessings for good health and well-being. The temple also has a special chamber where medicinal herbs are stored; devotees who are suffering from health problems can take these herbs and receive the blessings of the Lord for good health.

*Dakshinamurthy Temple, Myladatturai*
Dakashina murthy temple in Myladatturai 40 kms from Thiruvarur, Tamil Nadu.On the bank of river cauvery .
Dakshinamurthy is called as Lord Vathanyeshwara deity is facing South & his consort Gnanambika Ambal is facing west. Once Rishabha Deva felt proud that he was great as he was carrying Lord Shiva on his back. So Shiva thought of teaching him a lesson. One day, Shiva placed a strand from his matted hair on Rishaba. But he was unable to bear the weight of a strand of Shiva’s hair. Then he realized his mistake. He prostrated before the lord and sought forgiveness. Then Shiva not only pardoned him but also initiated him into the divine wisdom. Hence lord Shiva took the form of guru and Rishaba Deva continued to serve him as his mount and asked Rishaba Deva to be in the river Cauvery. He also directed Ganga river to flow into cauvery on new moon day in the Tamil month of Alpasi. Hence the river at this place came to be known as Rishabha Theertham.
Dakashinamurthy is Adiguru as all gotras begins from him. Shaivites call as Dakshinamurthy where as Vaishnavites refer to Hayagriva. Dakshinamurthy is in sitting posture with his right hand in chinmudra, left hand holding books.Unique feature of this temple is- the lord is sitting on Nandi and preaching Rishabha Deva who is seated in front of him. The tank adjoining the temple is also called Gnanamrutha Saras or Pancha Brahma Teertham.
