Yamanuru - shrine: Symbol of Secularism


Yamanuru, a village located near Navalagund in Dharwad District. There is a temple which is indeed a symbol of secularism, where all religious people worship. Distant located devotees visit this place on every Thursday.
The temple attracts all kind of devotees, irrespective of caste and creed. Though temple looks like Muslim dargha externally, it has Hindu god idol (Ganesh) on front door. God name also resembles combination of Hindu and Muslim name. The tradition is that, most of the devotees take a dip in a small stream of water. Devotees don’t bother to take a dip in highly contaminated water. They call it as a tradition and belief to take bath before visiting temple. I feel it’s a height of belief to take bath and drink such impure water in the name of devotion.

Here I have uploaded some pics of this holy place.
