Sri Venkataramana Temple Karkala Padutirupathi ಶ್ರೀ ವೆಂಕಟರಮಣ ದೇವಸ್ಥಾನ ಕಾರ್ಕಳ ಪಡುತಿರುಪತಿ Udupi Temple.Karkala Shree Venkataramana Temple, an ancient temple having a history of 550 years, belongs to Gauda Saraswat Brahmin Samaj.Sri Venkataramana Temple, Karkala, also known as Padutirupathi,is a temple in Karnataka, India. It was built by Goud Saraswat Brahmins of Karkala and was installed on 25 April 1537.This shrine lies to the west of Tirupati while original shrine is in the east. The name itself signifies its meaning. Padu means 'West' in Kannada and Tirupathi means Tirumala temple.This temple has a history dating from about the 14th century when the Jain Bhairarasa Odeyars ruled Karkala and surrounding places. The Gaud Saraswat Brahmins were given land by the Jain Odeyars so that these people can lead a happy life.The land which they gave to the GSBs was occupied by a lady of some Mutt (religious institution for learning Vedas and Puranas). The lady heeded to the people and Jains only one condition that "There are four powerful Ganas [Lord Shiva's servants] who should be worshipped and given sacrifices of coconuts, green pumpkins, Turmeric and so on; unless they would get angry. Also a yearly sacrifice should be performed as no unholy things may happen in and around here." The Gaud Saraswat Brahmins and the Jain king openly said yes to lady, and the temple was built. Initially a huge platform was built and four pillars were made to stand in the corners. Entangled coconut leaves were made as a roof. The idol was installed inside and prayed for the betterment of people. The compound wall was in its progress for building up the blocks. Soma Sharma returned to Karkala from Tirupathi with another idol of Lord Sree Venkataramana which was given to him by the Tirumala priests at the end of the 14th century. He installed this idol with the previously installed idol of Lord Venkataramana in the newly built stone platform. The whole temple got renovated in 1699–1700. Then Parivar Devas like Lord Mukyaprana, Lord Gaurda, Lord Lakshmi and Lord Ganapathi were installed after two years of renovation. Pillars at Sri Venkataramana Temple were made by Renjala Gopala Shenoy (1897 - 1985) - The magician who infused life into stones. Dexterity and perfection are the hallmarks of the works of Gopala Shenoy. The mastery of his skills can be observed in the four pillars of Garuda Mantap of Sri Venkataramana Temple, Karkala. The chains hanging from the pillars though made out of stone move like any other steel chains. Miniature sized animals such as lizards and honeybees have been meticulously and vividly carved on the pillars. The four pillars are not alike. They narrate different mythological stories. From the single stone selected from Nallur near Karkala, he carved four pillars and a statue of Durga Parameshwari. The first GSB to enter Karkala was Soire Prabhu whose great grandson is K. Ramesh Prabhu the present trustee of the temple. They are also called as the first Mokteswar of Karkala Padu Tirupathi Temple. One more family who migrated from Goa along with Prabhu's were the Soma Sharmas. He was a priest in Tirupathi Temple. Prabhus started their life in Karkala as usual how they used to live in Goa with all the rites and rituals.
