VIDURASHWATHA







VIDURASHWATHA 
.










It's about 120km from Bangalore on the way to Hyderabad......  reached up to Chikkaballapura, Gouri Bidanur and proceeded to a small place, about 8Km from there to a village Vidurashwatha, . place with lot of Ashwatha and neem trees......



Nagana Kallu

a small temple with large compound with thousands of serpent stones (nagana kallu)...... placed in by devotees...... who believed that their family will be blessed with children..... people were worshiping individually placed stones and quite few devotees sitting and offering prayers..... It's believed that Ashwtha is a male tree and Neem is female tree and there are occasions to celebrate the wedding between these two trees........ much required oxygen given out by these trees is very good for humans and can cause physiological changes in the body for better health..



The name Vidurashwatha is derived from that of a big Ashwatha (Ficus religiosa) tree located in this village. According to a legend of the times of Mahabharata, this tree was planted by Vidura, a courtier in the kingdom of Dhritarashtra; and hence the name Vidurashwatha Unfortunately, in 2001, this ancient tree fell to the ground
