History

[edit]
SSAGG Temple

The temple of Swayambhu Sri Abhista Gnana Ganapathi is 5 km away from the Kurnool city. The temple was constructed under the management of Mr. & Mrs. Jampala Madhusudhan Rao, who are also the trustees of "Jampala Abhinai Charitable Trust (JACT)".

According to the trust of the temple, the idol was found by Abhinai Jampala in Hyderabad who treated a stone which he found as Lord Ganapathi due to its resemblance to the form of the deity. When he passed away, his parents formed Jampala Abhinai Charitable Trust and built a temple dedicated to Lord Ganapathi. The main deity in the temple is the idol found by Abhinai in 2002.

The Vigraha Prathishta took place from 22 to 24 August 2013. Since then, Varshika Brahmotsavam is conducted on 18 October every year. People here have started to strongly believe that their wishes were being fulfilled after praying to the deity.

With the help of the trust, a park has been built in front of the temple. Every month, Lakshmi Ganapathi Homam is also conducted on the temple premises, on the eve of Sankashta Hara Chathurthi.
