About Sree Jogulamba Ammavari Devasthanam
Sree Jogulamba Ammavari Devasthanam in Alampur is dedicated to Goddess Jogulamba, a fierce form of Shakti worshipped as Gruha Chandi, the protector of the home. It is counted as the fifth of the 18 Maha Shakti Peethas and stands on the left bank of the Tungabhadra river.
The temple complex also has the Sri Bala Brahmeswara Swamy temple, one of the Nava Brahma temples of Alampur, which is why the town is called Dakshina Kashi — the Kashi of the south.
History
The Nava Brahma temples of Alampur were built by the Badami Chalukyas in the 7th and 8th centuries. The original Jogulamba temple was destroyed in 1390; the idol of the Goddess was kept safe in the Bala Brahmeswara temple for centuries, and the present temple was rebuilt on the old site and consecrated in 2005.
Religious significance
Tradition holds that the upper teeth (upper jaw) of Sati fell at Alampur, making it a Shakti Peetha. Devotees pray to Jogulamba for protection of the family and relief from troubles at home, and visit Bala Brahmeswara Swamy together with the Goddess.
