According
to
purans,
during
the
Mahabharata
in
Dwapara
Yuga,
the
Pandava
king
Arjun
went
for
hunting,
due
to
the
force
of
Arjuna’s
arrow,
the
forest
caught
fire,
and
all
kinds
of
snakes
died
in
the
forest.
This
leads
to
the
Sarpa
Dosha
for
Arjuna.
When
Arjuna
met
some
great
sages,
they
urged
him
to
worship
Garuda
so
that
he
could
come
out
of
the
snake
curse.
That’s
why
after
worshiping
Garuda,
Arjuna
came
out
of
Sarpadosh.
Come
in
the
history
of
Koladevi,
in
Treta
Yuga
during
Ramayana,
Sri
Lanka’s
demon
king
‘Ravana’
kidnaps
‘Sita’
and
rescues
Sita
by
carrying
a
bird
named
‘Jatayu’
in
his
‘Vimana’.
Did.
At
that
time
‘Ravana
broke
both
the
wings
of
that
bird
with
his
sword,
then
the
bird
requested
Rama
to
bury
the
bird
at
the
same
place.
After
this
incident
the
place
got
the
name
‘Koladevi’
and
now
in
Kaliyuga
the
same
Jatayu
resides
as
‘Garuda’
and
the
idol
of
Garuda
was
installed
by
the
great
sage
‘Brugu
Maharshi’
few
centuries
ago,
and
regular
rituals
did.
Place
to
visit
near
this
Temple
Kolar
Gold
Fields
Kolar
Gold
Fields
was
the
main
gold
mine
of
India
but
they
were
closed
in
2001.
Today
the
area
is
visited
by
many
tourists
who
love
the
colonial
style
architecture.
While
you
are
exploring
the
fields,
you
will
see
a
magnificent
church
called
the
Church
of
St.
Michael
and
All
Angels.
The
construction
of
this
church
was
completed
in
1905
and
was
built
in
Victorian
style.
St
Michael
and
All
Angels
Church
is
one
of
the
most
popular
tourist
places
in
Kolar
and
is
a
must
visit
place.
