BhadaraKali Temple

The temple is held in high esteem by devotees of the of Goddess Bhadrakali popularly called the ‘Grant Mother Goddess’. Remarkable feature of the temple is the square shaped stone image of the Goddess. The 2.7 metre tall stone image of the deity is the main attraction. She is depicted with eight arms and carries a weapon in each hand. Some of the unique shaped rocks are said to carry immense spiritual powers.

The structure of the temple is said to be 250 years old. Though the image of the deity is called the Bhadrakali, the goddess is said to have been transformed by the mantras into a very rare form called the Tripura Sundari, which includes the Kali form. Number of natural rock formations in the surroundings add to the spiritual charm of the temple and are the most dominant feature of the temple.

This temple too is built in the Chalukyan style of temple architecture. At this time a festival is organised and the deity is aesthetically decorated in various forms. Housing about 8 major and 12 minor temples surrounding mountains of Bhadrakali Temple exude a sacred aura when a large number of devotees gather to offer prayers. Closer to the Thousand Pillar Temple is another famous temple of Bhadrakali, noted for its stone image of Goddess Kali depicted in a sitting posture.
