'''Ghati Subramanya''' ([[Kannada]]: ಘಾಟಿ ಸುಬ್ರಮಣ್ಯ) is an ancient [[Hindu]] temple, situated on the outskirts of [[Bangalore]] near Tubagere, [[Doddaballapura]]. It is 60&nbsp;km from the city and is a popular pilgrimage centre. The uniqueness of this temple is that the prime deity Lord [[Karthikeya]], is found together with Lord [[Narasimha]]. According to [[mythology]], both idols are believed to have emerged from the earth. It is also an important centre in South India for worship of the Hindu deity Kethu. Special rituals are performed during Brahmarathotsava, i.e., on the day of Pushya shudda Shashti. Narasimha Jayanti is the other major festival celebrated here.<br />
<br />
== History ==<br />
<br />
Ghati Subramanya has a recorded history of more than 600 years. It was first developed by the Ghorpade rulers of [[Sandur (princely state)|Sandur]] who ruled parts of Bellary.<br />
<br />
== Tradition ==<br />
It is the belief of devotees that childless couples making vows ( ಹರಕೆ ) shall be blessed with children by the lord. A related ritual is that of installing idols of snakes (ನಾಗರ ಹಾವು). One can see thousands of such idols near the temple.<br />
<br />
==Design==<br />
The idol of Kartikeya with a seven headed [[cobra]] is made from a single stone. On the rear of the stone is the carving of [[Narasimha]]. It faces eastwards while the idol of Lord Narasimha faces westwards. To ensure that both deities are visible to devotees at the same time, a huge mirror was placed in the rear in the sanctum sanctorum.<br />
<br />
== Locality ==<br />
Ghati Subramanya is about 60&nbsp;km from Bangalore. The most popular route is via Doddaballapura. If opting for a public transport, direct routes to Ghati from Bangalore are pretty less in number and one may have to change over at Doddaballapura.<br />
<br />
