#hassantourism,#kondajji,#belur,#ಪರಿಚಯ,#parichaya Kondajji, a village situated about 18 km from Hassan. It is a place where we can find the 14th-century temple of Varadaraja Swamy, also called Allalanatha. Legend has it that this extraordinarily beautiful 15 feet tall Moorthi of Varadaraja, a form of Vishnu’s Janardana aspect, was on its way to Belur, for it to be enshrined at the World famous Chennakeshava temple complex. But the idol was more than the height that was ordered for Belur. It could not make it all the way into the temple at the right time. It was apparently running the risk of being deserted. An old lady (Ajji, which means grandmother in Kannada) decided to buy (which means Konda in Kannada) the statue and establish it in a temple at that place. Hence, it is believed that the village got the name “Kondajji” (Konda + Ajji). ಹಾಸನ ​​ಬಳಿಯ ಕೊಂಡಜ್ಜಿ ವರದರಾಜಸ್ವಾಮಿ ದೇವಸ್ಥಾನ ಪರಿಚಯ. Google map location https://maps.app.goo.gl/aYUKq9HnYLFtN...
