Located in Sri Subramanya Ghati village near Doddaballapura in Karnataka, the Ghati Subramanya Temple is a sacred Hindu shrine dedicated to Lord Subramanya (Karthikeya) and Lord Narasimha. What makes this temple truly unique is the dual idol – Lord Subramanya is seen facing the devotees, while Lord Narasimha is worshipped from behind, both believed to have emerged from the earth naturally.
This revered temple is also an important spiritual center for Ketu Dosha Nivarana and Sarpa Dosha Poojas, attracting lakhs of devotees every year, especially during Brahmarathotsava and Narasimha Jayanti.
