Venkataramana Temple Karkala : Venkataramana Temple Karkala, also known as Padutirupathi, is a temple in the Indian state of Karnataka. It was built by Karkala’s Goud Saraswat Brahmins and dedicated on April 25, 1537. History of Venkataramana Temple Karkala : This temple dates back to the 14th century, when the Jain Bhairarasa Odeyars ruled Karkala and the surrounding areas. The Jain Odeyars gave land to the Gaud Saraswat Brahmins so that they could live a happy life. They also gave them lands for agriculture because these Brahmins did it for a living. The priests of this community, namely the Joishys, Puraniks, and Tantris, were the main people who existed since the 14th century. The exact date of construction of this Venkataramana Temple Karkala is unknown because there were no written materials or documents available at the time.

Very nice temple and the temple is on main road ,heavy traffic and parking is bit difficult .the temple is very calm and very good positive atmosphere inside the temple

Divine place of lord Venkateswara. Very powerful temple for anyone who visits. If you are in the area then a visit is a must. You will feel very free in the mind after coming here. Opposite to this is the lord Hanuman temple. Another must visit temple. Outside the temple is a famous shop that sells local items. Make sure you buy pickles and dry papad from here.

Karkala Sri Venkatramana temple is an ancient temple belonging to Gowda Saraswat Brahmin (GSB) community and it is also the main attraction of Karkala. The devotees from all corners visit the temple and obtain the grace of the Lord Sri Venkatramana. hermit from Tirupati,who was an ardent devotee of Lord Venkatramana came to Karkala and handed over an idol of the Lord to the people. That idol was installed in the temple. The hermit laid down a condition that the idol would be taken every year to Tirupati along with the Kanika received and the hermit settled down in Karkala itself. The Kanika received in the name of the Lord of Tirupati is offered religiously to Tirupati Temple,periodically in a pilgrimage called “Rama Dandu”. So far five such Yatras in the History of the Temple, the latest being in 1970, have taken place. Once a year in a grand and ceremonious procession Lord Shri Srinivasa is taken out in Golden Mandapa and Lord Shri Venkatramana in the Golden palanquins for Vanabhojana which literally means an outing to the forest in a magnificent Hagalu Utsav,to the eastern part of Karkala. Since Tirupati is in the east,Lord Srinivasa is supposed to have been taken to Tirupati. Incidentally,this is the only day in a year when the Lord Srinivasa is taken out of the temple. Thus the word given to the hemit is symbolically kept up year after year. The presiding deity over here Lord Srinivasa is called the Lord of Tirupati by the devotees, as the daily poojas here are almost like the ones offered at Tirupati. Therefore Karkala is also known as “Padu Tirupati” (Western Tirupati). The gold, silver & wooden “Vahanas” and also the other paraphernalia of the temple,speak volumes about the glory and the greatness of this temple.

Holy place, the power full place of Shri Venkataramana and Shreenivasa God.

Divine experience... unique temple where you have the Mahayee temple post which we have the Ganesha temple.. around the sanctum ..Mahamaya Ganesha... Pretty unique.. opposite to the temple we have a huge single rock Hanuman temple..which awesome...on the whole very pleasant experience

Divine place. Our temple. Our pride

Very poor communication by priest, very adamant behaviour, last week we had hoovina pooje offering for god,

It is the ideal place to move the mind toward concentration in the presence of God

Beautiful Venkataramana Temple Known As Paduthirupathi

Temple is really good but people around the temple are seem to be caste baised they way other caste people is seen are disappointing. I even came to no dt temple organise free lunch for devoties but it's not for all. Only for few community people.

One of the beautiful temple located in karkala.

Ossm temple...🔥 Must visit if u r passing through karkala....It is situated on the way from ududpi to Dharmasthala....❤️

Good temple. Maha mangalarathi takes place at 8 pm and prasada is offered after the mangalarathi.

As one of the Pandits remarked, it's the blessings of Sri Venkataramana that made us drive to the temple on a Saturday morning, which is considered auspicious to visit a Balaji temple. Like every other ancient Hindu temple, this temple too has its unique history of how it came in to existence in 14-15th century. It is still being maintained by the Gauda Saraswath Brahmin sect, as a private temple, but it is completely accessible to the general public. The Pandits here perform the Pooja with reverence and devotion to the God. Most of them are well settled businessmen, as I learnt from interactions with couple of them later. Some also speak fluent English. What came as a surprise to me was the awesome traditional feast with many regional specialities, served in a banana leaf. Worth visiting. Only challenge - no dedicated parking space available for the temple and it is also right on the main road. So, you need the blessings of Srinivasa for an invite and to find a parking slot for your car, if you plan to drive to the temple. I was indeed blessed, as I found one with least trouble 🙂 Om Namo Venkatesaya 🙏

The most visited temple in Karkala,The 4 pillars at the temple took 7years to carve they are the best part,U will be blessed do visit,if you are lucky you will get nice prasadam too in the afternoon.

Must Visit temple if you are in karkala or nearby places

One of the ancient Hindu temples in Karkala dedicated to Sri Lord Venkateswara. Please check the timings before you visit this temple.

Nice place to have peace of mind. One of the prominent temple in the area. The temple is managed by Gowda Saraswata Brahmans. This is an ancient temple having a history of 550 years. Sri Venkataramana Vishnu temple is one of the ancient temples resembling the Tirupati temple and hence temple is known as Padu Tirupati. All the rituals and the puja traditions followed are similar to that in the Tirupathi Temple.

A very beautiful temple of Konkani community with rich cultural history. The temple festivals are grand and the car festivals are magnificent.

Temple renovation done very well some years ago. Tranquil surroundings and peaceful and relaxing Ambience in the evening. The Temple itself is very beautiful with ancient granite rock carving on the main doors and the pillars. People do maintain the decorum of the place.

The temple is located on the main road of Udupi - Dharmasthala road. The temple is very charming. However they are pretty strict with the dress norms so have a backup plan for this.

Place is also known as Padutirupati and is one of the oldest Venketramana temples in Dakshin Kannada. The temple is renowned for fulfilling your wishes.

🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Must visit place in Karkala.

On the road side easy and have parking space

A beautiful temple at the heart of the karkala city, parking space is a bit congested. It is also called Padu tirupathi, main deity is lord Venkataramana. The staff and purohits are very kind. In front of temple there is a huge hanuman temple. The prasada provided in temple is just mouth watering.

Serene place! Must visit when you come to Karkala. This place is also famously known as 'Paduthirupathi'

Paduthirupathi Venkataramana Temple,is nearly 800 years old and very powerful temple in south India.

This is a wonderful temple. The Main deity of Shri Venkateswara in this temple is exact replica of Tirumala Tirupathi. One priest belonging to this area Karkala brought the diety from Tirupati and consecrated here owing to the difficulties of Bhaktas faced to travel all the way to Tirumala. So this place was called PADU Tirupati meaning West Tirupati.

Apart from the divinity at this place, I love the prasadha (avalakki + jaggery + loads of ghee), tough to eat it like prasadha, you would start hogging it... :-)

Abode of Shri Venkatramana is just peaceful. No words to describe at all.
