People from even nearby villages now visit Krishnapura village of Yellandur taluk in the district, and ask about the temple of Rajamma. The temple was built in 2006 and Raju, a farmer, has been performing puja every day for the past 12 years.
Rajamma’s idol, sculpted by her husband, stands in the temple along with four deities – Shanishwara, Siddappaji, Navagraha and Lord Shiva.
