Mysterious Hasanamba Temple in Karnataka opens for only 11 days a year; why devotees believe Maa herself guards this place
Hasanamba Temple Mystery: A mysterious and revered temple in Karnataka is currently the subject of much discussion on social media. It is claimed that the lamp lit in this temple burns continuously for a whole year without going out. Not only that, the offerings of rice and flowers kept there remain fresh for months, even a year. This temple is the Hasanamba Temple located in the Hassan district of Karnataka, which devotees consider miraculous.
Millions of devotees come from far and wide when temple opens for 11 days
The Hasanamba Temple is considered one of the most unique temples in South India. This temple remains closed throughout the year and is opened to devotees only once a year during the festival Deepavali in October, for about 11 days. During these limited days, millions of devotees come from far and wide to have a darshan of Goddess Hasanamba.
A testament to the divine power of the Goddess
The biggest belief associated with the temple is that when the temple doors are closed, a diya (earthen lamp) is lit inside. When the temple is reopened almost a year later, the same diya is found still burning. Devotees believe that this is not due to any ordinary process, but rather a testament to the divine power of the Goddess.
A blessing from the Goddess
Usually, the oil in any lamp runs out in a few hours or in a day, but in the Hasanamba Temple, it is believed that the oil in the lamp does not run out for the entire year. Devotees consider this a blessing from the Goddess, and this is why both reverence and curiosity surround this mystery.
Rice doesn't spoil for a year
Another surprising thing comes to light here. It is said that the cooked rice kept in the temple, which usually spoils in two days, remains fresh for a whole year. It neither smells bad nor rots.
Flowers also remain fresh and fragrant
The jasmine flowers offered inside the temple also remain fresh and fragrant throughout the year. Devotees believe that this is also a sign of the awakened power of the Goddess.
Scientists are surprised
According to science, it is impossible for a lamp to burn without air and light, and for food not to spoil. This is why scientists express surprise upon hearing the beliefs associated with this temple.
Maa herself guards this place
Devotees believe that this is not a feat of technology or engineering, but the divine power of Maa Saptamatrika. It is believed that the Maa herself guards this place, and time itself moves according to her command.
