Sri Torana Ganapati Temple

In this temple Ganapathi is placed in top of door so it is called torana Ganapathi.
It is situated next to shankaracharya temple.

The Jagadgurus of Sringeri used to stay near the Shankaracharya temple in Sringeri. It is only after the 33rd Jagadguru, Sri Sacchidananda Shiva Abhinava Nrisimha Bharati moved to the southern bank of the Tunga, have the succeeding Jagadgurus made Narasimhavana their place of residence.

The 32nd Acharya of the Peetham, Jagadguru Sri Vriddha Narasimha Bharati Mahaswamiji used to reside adjacent to the temple of Goddess Sharada. One one occasion, the Acharya had a vision of the Ganapati when he was contemplating on resolving and issue in the mutt affairs. He offered His prayer by offering a dhurva to the image of Lord Ganapati carved on the Torana of the door nearby, and the problem got resolved. Since then, the Ganapati has come to be worshipped as Torana Ganapati.

Torana Ganapathy temple is located behind Sharadamba Temple. Couldn’t worship because the shrine was closed.

Very religious place for worship of Lord Ganapathi. The speciality of this temple is the statue of Ganapathi is on the door frame and not in the 'Garbagudi'. Devotees believe that Lord Ganapathi will fulfill all the wishes if devotees.
