Here is small write up by my sister Dr. PAdmashri of USA which she sent in Jan 
27th 2004 in e-mail   to all the groups:

Quote:


This is a shrine that is extremely popular with hebbar iyengars, a subsect of 
srivaishnavas who trace their roots to places in and around hassan.  
Bindiganavile  (near Hassan) Sri Keshava Perumal Koil:

The shrine at Bindignavile is an ancient one dating back to centuries.This 
place is refered to as Mayurapuri in the puranas. Brahma and his consort 
Saraswathi frequently sought to worship the Lord Keshava at this place. 
According to the legends, Sri Ramanujacharya had visited the shrine and offered 
worship for three days.

The presiding Deities are Sri Channa Keshava Perumal who resides along with Sri 
Sowmyanaayaki Thaayaar and are bestowing their blessings on all the devotees,. 
Sri Vainatheya (Garuda, Periya Thiruvadi) resides in the adjoining sannidhi. 
There is an idol of acharya ramanuja in the temple precincts. 

It is situated on the Bangalore-Mangalore Highway (pass yediyur and at bellur 
cross, make a left to go towards nagamangala from where you would take the road 
to shravanabelagola and bindinganavile). It is at a distance of 86 miles(145 
kms) from Bangalore. It is also close to the popular tourist place of 
shravanabelagola where the monolith of gomateshwara stands towering at 56 ft.. 

There are no lodging facilities for visitors in the village which boasts of 
bare public necessities like water, electricity,paved roads, schools and bus 
stand. You can contact Mr.Seshadri of sri vainatheya bhaktha mandali for 
lodging/boarding arrangements while in bindinganavile.

The temple architecture is typical dravidian and it follows Pancharathra Agama 
discipline for worshpping the lord.. The brahma rathotsavam is held on maagha 
(kannada month) shukla chaturdashi of  every year and is a strog crowd puller.  
the events are spread over 10 days and the whole village comes alive during 
this time,wearing a festive look.  Many buses and private van owners operate 
special schedules to bindinganavile at this time  of the year and it is easy to 
get there. It is said that the chariot with keshava perumal is pulled only 
after the sighting of vainatheya  hovering around in the skies. A sumptuous and 
tasty lunch is served to all the devotees. 

The temple has been served by "mari" pronounced(murry) bhattar, the priest for 
the last several decades. 

Bindignavile Sri Vainatheya Bhaktha Mandali has been has been organizing daily 
aradhanas, important festivals and annual Brahma rathothsava  at the 
Bindignavile Shrine. It efficiently manages the crowds during rathotsavam. 

The inner sanctum of the temple has undergone a substantial face lift over the 
last decade with granite flooring, better illumination and security features to 
the main sannidhis et al. the outer prakaram has received improvements too 
,with roofing to provide welcome shelter from the searing blaze of the sun ,to 
the devotees during rathotsavam. the flooring on the outer prakaram too, is 
done well which is the site for the thadiyaaradhanai during the rathotsavam. 
all this has been possible largely due to the generous donations of vainatheya 
devotees in the United States and the prudent management of funds by the 
vainatheya bhaktha mandali. Construction of a beautiful rajagopuram has been 
one of the stellar achievements of the trust.  The 45th jeer of  Sri Ahobila 
Mutt, Sri Azhagiya Singar, visited Bindignavile in 1993 and was higly 
appreciative of the shrine and the service rendered by all the devotees,

As if to stand testimony to the powers of periya thiruvadi, almost all 
households in bindinganavile can boast of a "garudachar" in the family.Some of 
the popular Garudachars in the community have been B.K.Garudachar(contractor), 
B.N Garudachar( ex DGP,Karnataka), Other stalwarts from bindinganavile include 
B.S.Ranga( movie director), India's atomic energy expert Raja Ramanna is said 
to have his origins in Bindinganavile as well.
