Hampi is one of the best known landing places of archeology, loaded with rock temples and fine statues.
One such statue is of our beloved lord Ganesh. Ganeshji is treated as a family member by Hindus as a son, brother, or as a friend. He is adored by children and adults equally for his cleverness and childlike behavior. There lies a hilarious story in Mythology confirming his fetish for food.
Once Ganesha has filled his big stomach with loads of food….. as usual but soon he realized that it has reached a limit where his stomach can explode anytime. To avoid this condition and the anger of his mother, he decided to tie a snake around his belly to stop the explosion.
This has been the story behind the idol of the Sasivekalu Ganesha Temple, at Hampi. Here the statue of Ganesha is known as foodie Ganesha. This idol of this Ganesha has 4 hands holding the pasha (noose), goad, his broken tusk and modak (sweet). This 8 feet tall statue has been carved out of single rock.
