'''Sri Hemadryambha''' ( "'''hemadri'''" meaning gold and "'''amba"''' meaning mother) is the golden goddess regarded as the gramadevatha of the [[Bannur]] municipal town region located next to the ''Kodanda Rama Deva'' temple. She is regarded as the one of the ''Saptha Matruka's'' where the other forms of the goddess are associated with nearby districts.<br />
<br />
== Description==<br />
The [[devi]] is regarded as the sri [[Tripura Sundari|lalitha maha tripura sundari]]. The complete vision of the image of devi is a figure with four hands, where she has [[chakra]] in her upper left hand, a [[conch shell]] in her right hand, her lower right hand on the abhaya mudra, and lower left hand on the kati sthala. She has the [[sri chakra]] on her navel. She is standing in the natya bhangi.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
The goddess was worshipped by Sri [[vidyaranya]], the twelfth jagadguru of the sringeri sharadha peetam during the time of the Vijayanagara empire. They performed rituals upon which the goddess was pleased by the devotion of the saints. There people witnessed golden rain; hence, she is also referred to as '''swarna vrushti pradayini'''. Later, on stages, the goddess was brought and worshipped in [[bannur]]. Previously this practice was called vahnipura, done at the time of magha masa (month of February), as well as jatramohotsava celebrated every year.<br />
