From all directions, this mountain looks like elephant...

Paanaga Narasimha Temple...

Self manifested form of Narasimha in a cave inside the inner sanctum...

The sthala purana ( the story behind Narasimha shrine )

The asura namuchi does penence and hides in his sookshma roopa inside this cave.

He has a boon that he will not be destroyed by either wet or dry substances. And he torments devas after getting this boon...

Lord asks Devas to take the foam or froth from the oceans. They dip the Sudharshana chakra in the ocean and take the foam with it. Lord enters into it through the foam and the devas use the chakra to kill the asura...

Hence the deity here is called Sudharshana Narasimhar...

The power of foam...

The cave is the mouth of the Lord. Panaka drink(jaggery water, with lemon etc) is poured into the mouth of Narasimha, and we can hear the sound of his drinking it...

Jai Sri Narasimha...

Parapet wall temple...

The wall which moved by Santh Gnaneshwar Maharaj's grace...

Saarngadeva, a sidha purusha, comes on a tiger, with a snake as his whip, with a lot of pride to meet Gnaneshwar.

Gnaneshwar was sitting on the wall with his brothers Nivrithinathand Sopandev, and with his sister Mukthabai.

He makes the wall itself move like a vehicle and they 4 go to meet Sarngadeva...

The wall is now protected with this glass, like a temple.

We can see statues of Gnaneshwar, Nivrithinath, Sopandev, and Mukthabai on the parapet wall...

Association with Mahathmas make even a non living wall a great valuable thing...

Do not grieve if you are treated as worthless as a Kuttichuvar (wall). Make Gnaneshwar sit on you, and he will take you till moksha, and Vittal's feet...

The peepul tree under which Santh Eknath Maharaj got dharshan of Santh Gnaneshwar...

Once Ekanath Maharaj gets throat pain, and becomes unable to even talk. Janeshwar Maharaj comes to him in dream and instructs him to come to Alandhi, where he is sitting in Jeevasamadhi. He tells him that the trees root has grown around his neck and choking him. 

This temple was in a broken down condition them. So Ekanathji sits under this tree and does meditation seeking how to find the path to the Samadhi spot.

Jnaneshwar Maharaj appears to him again, and tells him that there are steps near the nandi (bull) of the Shiva temple.Ekanathji then goes that way and releases the root that choked Gnaneshwar's throat...

This is the tree that gave Gnandev Maharaj's darshan to Eknath Maharaj...

There is the feet of Ekanath Maharaj kept here...

You all will also get darshan of Jnaneshwar Maharaj...

Jai Gnaneshwar Mauli ki jai…

Vittal Panth's Guru Comes by one day, comes to know about the situation, and advices Vittal Panth to go back to family life.
