Wargal Saraswati Temple

Wargal Saraswati Temple

=Introduction=

The deity of education in Hinduism is goddess Saraswati. There are a few temples devoted to this goddess in the state of Andhra Pradesh (India), one of them being the Saraswati Temple in Wargal, which is less prominent than the Saraswati Mata Temple in Basara.

Location

The Wargal Temple is approximately 60 kilometers from the Secunderabad Jubilee Bus Station on the Karimnagar-Siddipet Highway. This Temple is well-connected by road. En route the temple from Secunderabad, on the left hand side is a pillar embossed with the name and idol of the Goddess.

The temple is situated on a small hill. There is a ten-foot-high idol in front of the temple.

There is a Temple of Lord Vigneshwara (Ganesha) beside the Saraswati temple. The temple walls are engraved with Ganesha in various postures.

There is also a temple dedicated to Lord Saniswara.

A point to note here is that the temple is situated in a small village with limited facilities. The temple board has constructed a small shelter for pilgrims with around 20 rooms and there are some shops that trade in merchandise related to the Goddess.

Painted on the hill is a picture of Goddess Saraswati.

Another ancient place of worship nearby (around 15 kilometers from Wargal Temple) is the Nachagirigutta Temple, where Lord Narasimha and Lord Hanuman are worshiped.
