Bathery Mahaganapathi Temple Wayanad Kerala |
 This shrine is located at Sulthan Bathery. The presiding deity is Ganapathy, facing east. Sulthan Bathery was formerly known as Ganapathy Vattom, signifying the presence of Lord Ganapathy. The shrine was once destroyed by Tipu Sulthan. Thereafter the name of the Ganapathy Vattom was changed to Sulthan Bathery. The temple stone was used by Tipu to build a Fort, the ancestors recorded.A six-day festival is conducted during the month of Makaram (January/February). The festival is attended by thousands. Batheri Ganapathy possesses immense power and is larger-hearted to shower blessings on devotees.. Jalabhishekam (ritualized pouring of water on the idol) is an important ritual performed here which is meant for getting sufficient rain in the region.The temple is also strengthened by sub-deities. They are Shiva, Ayyappa, Bhagawathy and Nagaraja. |
