*Ekashila Dwimukhi Chamundeshwari Temple- Jog Falls*
The Jog Falls Chamundeshwari Temple, located near the majestic Jog Falls in Karnataka, is a serene and sacred site with rich historical and cultural significance. The temple is dedicated to Goddess Chamundeshwari, represented as a rare two-faced idol (*Eka Shila Dwimukhi*), carved from a single stone by the renowned sculptor Siddalinga Swamiji.
This idol of Chamundeshwari Devi symbolizes the three divine aspects: Goddess Durga (protection), Goddess Saraswati (knowledge), and Goddess Lakshmi (wealth). The temple’s architecture is simple yet elegant, harmonizing with the natural surroundings of dense forests and the cascading falls. The intricate craftsmanship of the idol and the sanctum reflects traditional South Indian artistry, making it a unique and revered spiritual site.
*History*
The history of the temple is deeply intertwined with the Jog Hydroelectric Project, envisioned by Diwan Sir M. Vishweshvaraya during the reign of Maharaja Nalvadi Krishnaraja Wodeyar of Mysore. As the project faced numerous challenges due to the rugged terrain and dense forests, the Maharaja prayed to Goddess Chamundeshwari for guidance. According to legend, the goddess appeared in his dream, granting her blessings and instructing him to install her idol near the project site for divine protection. Following her divine vision, the temple was constructed, and the project was successfully completed, symbolizing the harmony between faith and human ingenuity.
*Sthalapurana*
The temple’s *sthalapurana* (legend) also connects it to the origin of the Sharavathi River. It is believed that during the *Treta Yuga*, Lord Rama visited the region during his exile. To quench Sita’s thirst, he struck the ground with an arrow, bringing forth water that became the Sharavathi River. The river flows through valleys and hills, finally plunging into the 960-foot Jog Falls in four streams, named Raja, Rani, Roarer, and Rocket. The temple’s location near the falls enhances its spiritual and natural allure, making it a site of pilgrimage and tourism.
The temple celebrates several festivals with grandeur, attracting devotees from across the region. Navaratri is the most prominent, with nine days of special rituals and cultural events culminating in Vijayadashami. The annual Chamundeshwari Jatre is another significant celebration, featuring vibrant fairs and traditional performances. Deepavali sees the temple illuminated with lamps, symbolizing the triumph of light over darkness, while Varamahalakshmi Vrata is dedicated to worshiping Goddess Lakshmi for prosperity. Every Friday is considered auspicious, with devotees performing special *pujas* and offering flowers and coconuts to the goddess.

Swamy Saranam
The Shivalingam is not a common one. This is said to be more than 5000 years old, installed by Guru Dronacharya, guru of Kauravas and Pandavas.
The amazing thing is an unknown water source through the mountain performs Jala Abhishek continuously, including those times, when there is drought like situation.
It is said that when the Nawab of Junagadh heard about this continuous Jala Abhishekam, he wanted to find the source and had the hill dug up, but couldn't find it.
Om Namah Shivaya
