Detail InformationEdit
Gaurala is a small village in Bhadravati tahsil situated at south of Bhadravati. There are also many detached rocks, several of which have been hollowed out to form sort of caves and niches. The principal temple is Gaurala Ganesh , containing a large statue of Ganesh. The idol is broken and hollow and is believed to have contained gold inside. It is also said that it was the one worshipped by Yauvanasva Raja. All these remains speak of the glorious period which Bhandak or Bhadravati once enjoyed. Cave nearby temple contains statues of Vishnu on the serpent and in his dwarf or Vaman and boar or Varah incarnations, but their small size would argue that they are not the original objects of worship.
