Sakshi Ganapati Temple Tourism
Type of destination: Hindu Temple
Ideal visit duration: 30 mins to 1 hour
Sakshi Ganapati Temple is a prominent and pious destination located in the vicinity of Srisailam, which is within the Kurnool district of Andhra Pradesh, India. It holds a paramount position among the devout as it is believed to be the presence that accounts for the arrival of pilgrims to Srisailam. The temple is dedicated to Lord Ganapati, also known as Ganesha, the deity revered as the remover of obstacles and the god of beginnings. The word 'Sakshi' means witness, and therefore, it is believed that Sakshi Ganapati records the names of the devotees who visit and keeps count of them. The idol of Lord Ganapati in this temple is considered unique because it is seen holding a book and a pen in its hands, symbolizing the recording of the devotees' names. The natural settings surrounding the temple offer a tranquil atmosphere, adding to the spiritual experience. The temple serves as an integral stop for pilgrims heading towards Srisailam, one of the sacred twelve Jyotirlingas of Lord Shiva, giving them an auspicious start to their pilgrimage.
