Lakshmi Venkataramana Swamy & Mitemari Temple, Bagepalli

Brahmanda Guruji Shri Narendra Babu Sharmaji spoke on these temples in his Bruhat Brahmanda programme telecasted in Zee Kannada TV Channel. The name of the temple was not specified, if i am right these will be the temples. Guruji gave only the details on location like Bagepalli, Chikaballapur and narrated a incident in Chikaballapur where the grandson suffered for the mistake committed by his Grand father.

Mr.Sundar has given enough details on this temple in his blog.
These are two more beautiful temples of Narayana. In Bagepalli, we get the blessings of Lakshmi Venkataramana Swamy and in Mitemari (also try Mittemari), it is Lakshmi Narasimha.


There are nearby places like Yellodu (called Kurmagini, with a 618 steps Lakshmi Adinarayanaswamy temple in a small cave). We did not visit it.
