This ruined city of Karnataka narrates the glorious story of the Vijayanagara Empire. Hampi is an attractive sight of ruins spread across 4,100 hectares. A traveler can enjoy 1,600 remains of forts, memorial structures, sacred complexes, pillared halls, mandapas, shrines, and temples of this city.
One of the most lovable mythological stories revolves around the big stomached lord Ganesh. The Sasivekalu Ganesha Temple is the most visited temple of Hampi. The uniqueness of this Ganesh idol is that it has 4 hands holding the pasha (noose), goad, his broken tusk and modak (sweet).
The funny story is about this idol of Ganesh at Sasivekalu Temple.
It is believed that once Ganesha had eaten so much that he felt his stomach would explode. To save himself from the scolding of his mother, he decided to wrap his stomach with a snake. This was the only option he could think of to save himself from the explosion of his belly.
So the 8 feet tall idol of Ganesha of Sasivekalu Temple is carved out of single rock. It has the same image of snake tied Ganesh. This foodie Ganesha idol is one the fine statues of this archeological city.
