Sri Banashankari Amma — The Divine Mother Who Protects Her Devotees
Located at Cholachagudda, near the historic town of Badami in Karnataka, the revered Shri Banashankari Devi Temple is dedicated to Goddess Banashankari, a powerful form of Goddess Parvati and an embodiment of Shakti.
The Goddess is worshipped with deep devotion as the Divine Mother who protects her devotees and removes darkness from their lives. Her beautifully adorned Vigraha, magnificent silver ornamental backdrop, and elaborate floral decorations reflect the richness of Karnataka’s living temple traditions.
The temple is especially famous for its annual Banashankari Jatre, a grand religious fair that attracts devotees from Karnataka and neighbouring states.
Where devotion becomes surrender, the Mother’s grace becomes strength.
Jai Banashankari Amma!
