💫 Importance
The Mukthi Naga Temple holds immense spiritual significance for devotees affected by Sarpa Dosha, Naga Dosha, Kujadosha, and Kaal Sarpa Dosha. Special pujas such as Naga Pratisthapana, Sarpa Samskara, and Ashlesha Bali are performed under the guidance of Vedic scholars to nullify these afflictions. It is believed that prayers offered here heal chronic illnesses (especially skin-related), resolve marital and fertility issues, and lead to spiritual elevation.
The temple is also known for fulfilling wishes through a sacred ritual of nine pradakshinas around an ancient anthill—a practice believed to manifest results within 90 days. The energies here are said to be so powerful that many devotees experience peace, healing, and divine intervention in their lives.
📜History
This sacred site has a fascinating spiritual legacy. The name "Junjappana Bayalu" reflects centuries-old reverence for serpents and divine presence in this region. Over time, the place became renowned for fulfilling wishes and relieving doshas. In 1995, Lord Subrahmanya appeared in a divine vision to Guruji Sri Daivagna Subramanya Shastry, blessing him and inspiring the construction of the Mukthi Naga Temple.
The Prathisthapana (installation) of the main deity, Shri Mukthi Naga, took place on June 20, 2004, marking the beginning of a new spiritual chapter for thousands of devotees. Since then, the temple has grown into a magnificent complex with multiple shrines and a rich spiritual ecosystem.
The temple complex is also home to:
- Shri Kaaryasiddhi Vinayaka Temple, housing a massive 21-feet-tall, 56-ton idol of Lord Subramanya in Sharpa Dhara form.
- 107+ sacred Naga idols, shielded by a majestic 7-hooded Naga.
- Shrines dedicated to Renuka Yellamma, Patalamma, Lord Narasimha, Siddhi Vinayaka, Goddess Nilambike, and Lord Shiva.
- Temples dedicated to Goddess worship on the other side of the main road, maintained by the Shri Subrahmanya Seva Trust.
The area is adorned with natural beauty, most notably the nearby Dodda Alada Mara (The Big Banyan Tree), a sprawling 400-year-old sacred tree, adding to the mystical energy of this holy land.
