[Smarthrugaami-Dattavibhavam] need address of Lord Datta Temple in Ganagapur

[Guest guest]

Dear Sri Datta Bhaktas,

 

Sai Ram. I would like to add a few more details to

what Shri Shripad Deshmukh has given.

 

Sri Kshetra Ganagapur is 21 kms from Ganagapur Road

Railway Station. Hussainsagar Express is another good

train to catch from Mumbai. It reaches Ganagapur Road

Railway Station by 7 AM. From the railway station one

has to catch a bus or auto or jeep to reach Ganagapur

Bus Stand and from there autos and tangas (horse drawn

carts) are available to go to Sangam, the confluence

of Bhima and Amaraja rivers. There is a Datta temple

at Sangam, Audumbar and a Siva Temple too. After

taking bath and worshipping Lord Datta and Lord Siva

there, one can go back to Ganagapur and go to the

Nirguna Paduka Math and worship the Padukas of Sri

Narasimha Saraswati Swamy. Prasad is given to all the

devotees after the Maha Naivedyam at aound 1 PM or so.

There are a good number of Ashrams and a few hotels

too for staying. Annadan is carried out at many

places.

 

Ganagapur is nearer to Gulbarga than to Solapur, just

35 kms. And all the major express trains stop at

Gulbarga too. From Gulbarga, one can go to Hyderabad

by either bus or train. The distance is 210 kms and

the road is good.

 

It will be a good idea to visit Akkalkot too when

visiting Ganagapur. The road is not good and the

distance of about 70 kms takes about 2 and 1/2 hours.

The fare is Rs.40/-. Akkalkot has good accommodation

and Prasad (lunch) is served at around 12:30 hrs in a

big hall.

 

If any one wants to send some money to Ganagapur, I

can give the addresses of the temple priests. Sai Ram.

 

Swamy

life itself, and with best wishes to you that your goals may be reached,
