Deval Ganagapur, Kalburgi

Located in the taluk of Afzalpur, Kalburgi district, Ganagapur or Deval Ganagapur is a village and a holy place of Sri Narasimha Saraswati (incarnation of Lord Dattatreya). It is believed that Sri Narasimha Saraswati would always be at Ganagapur (as per the book Guru Charitra) and as long as he was alive, he followed the ritual of bathing at the confluence of the river and would beg for alms during the noon and the pooja offered by the devotees were accepted at the Padukas present in the temple.

Hence, even to this day, the devotees visiting this holy place take a dip at the confluence of the Bhima and Amarja rivers and beg for alms from at least five houses and seek blessings at the Paduka of Sri Narasimha Saraswati. Ganagapur has buses and train facilities from Gulbarga. There are accommodation facilities too.
