SRISAILAM - SAKSHI GANAPATHI

Hence that onerous duty is entrusted to Vinayaka by Lord Mallikarjuna Swamy at Srisailam. Among the many most visit-worthy places' at Srisailam, Sakshi Vinayaka shrine on the way to the much popular and ardently adored Sikhareswareswara Swamy Sannidhi from where the visitors avail the Sikhara Darsanam is a miss-not shrine.

The shrine although small, is installed with a big size beautiful icon of Ganapathi. It is a good specimen of high sculptural artistry and bends heads with its majesty, splendor and posture. It is well adorned with garlands and glittering jewels. It is a single cell temple with provision for pradakshina. Nityanaimithika Puja is offered. And he is held in high esteem. Devout people with unequalled devotional fervor worship him and take vows to tread honest path. Dishonest double dealers are scared of him terribly and think of bypassing their visit to his shrine.
