Anegudde village is located 9 km south of Kundapura, in Udupi District. Anegudde, also known as Kumbashi, derives its name from the demon Kumbhasura. According to history, when drought hit this area, Sage Agasthya performed penance to appease Varuna, the Rain God. During the penance, demon Kumbhasura troubled the sages. Bheemasena received a weapon from Lord Ganesha to kill Kumbhasura and assassinated him at this place. Anegudde is one of the seven 'Mukti Sthalas' of Karnataka (Parashurama Kshetra). The temple at Anegudde is dedicated to Lord Vinayaka (Ganesha). The name Anegudde is derived from 'Aane' meaning 'Elephant' and 'Gudde' meaning 'hillock', as it is the abode of the elephant-headed god, Lord Vinayaka.
Join us on a spiritual journey to the Anegudde Sri Vinayaka Temple and the nearby sacred Harihara Kshetra. Nestled in the serene village of Kumbhashi, Karnataka, the Anegudde Temple is a revered site dedicated to Lord Ganesha, known for its rich history and unique rituals.
Just a short distance away lies the Harihara Kshetra, a divine abode where the essence of both Lord Vishnu (Hari) and Lord Shiva (Hara) merge into one deity. This sacred place holds immense significance for devotees seeking spiritual solace and liberation.
