Godachi Veerabhadreshwar

One of the ancient temple located in a village called Godachi, which is in Belgaum destrict of Karnataka state. A holy place of deity shree veerabhadreshwara, an incarnation of lord Shiva.
The temple is said to have been built during the period of Vijayanagar. According to a legend, Shivasharanas on way to Ulvi fought a battle here.

Many far distance devotees worship this god. Most of the devotees visit this temple on every purnima and Amavasya. Yearly once there would be a fair held to honor deity shree Veerabhadreshwar, more than 30000 devotees gather to mark the celebration. My native is located very near to this place. Its pleasure to recall those joyful day's of going to fair in a bullock cart.

Everyone enjoy and celebrate fair in thier own style, especially for kids lots of things would be there to enjoy like rotating swing, kids train, mini circuses and fun shows. Women would go on their own way of fair celebration by purchasing lots of house hold equipmets alongwith visiting stationery shops to purchase bangles and other adorning items.

Dramas are among the main attraction of this fair. Every year they put drama tents and play social and comedy based dramas. A good entertainment for those who love to watch drama. The shows run for months together.

I have an association to this place. I stayed here for 3 years during my higher primary education. This place is so pleasant because of divine atmosphere. I feel, the combination of spiritual and calm environment helped me to develop good study habits
