Godachi

Godachi is a pilgrim centre located near Ramdurg Taluk, Belgaum district, in the Indian State of Karnataka. Its temples include Veerabhadra, Kalamma and Maruti. It lies 14 km from Ramdurg.[1]

Etimology

The name of the place is derived from that of the plant kodachi or godachi (Zizyphus xylopyrus), which grows abundantly in the area.

Temples

The Veerabhadra Temple[1] in Vijayanagar style has a garbhagriha with a chalukyan doorway and a spacious main hall. The Veerabhadra image is of later date. Marriages are held in the temple. People visit this place daily, and more on Amavasya or Poornima days. The Temple has choultries all around. The annual Jatra is held in honour of Veerabhadra in December, when more than 30,000 people assemble.[2] The copper plates of Chalukya Kirti-Varman were found here. According to legend, Shivasharanas on the way to Ulvi fought a battle here. The former Jahgirdar of Torgal shinde family is the trustee of the Veerabhadra temple.

gollark: I've probably patched it now (hard to test, because one of my changes broke the exploit code but in a way which could be worked around), but at the cost of causing minor breakage in a mostly unused feature.
gollark: I'm having to reverse-engineer yet ANOTHER heavily obfuscated potatOS sandbox exploit.

gollark: Well, it prevents malicious programs (also users) from removing it or meddling with system files without doing a simple thing which ensures it can't be automatically removed.
gollark: > > > PotatOS is at least interesting. The sandboxing stuff it uses is pretty generalizable.> > It's a virusPeople often foolishly label potatOS a "virus" just because it conveniently copies itself to disks and has sandboxing.
