Sachin at Kukke Subramanya
June 4, 2006 — KarthikLittle-known till a couple of days ago, all of a sudden lakhs of people now want to visit - or at least know more about - the temple town of Kukke Subramanya, 105 km from Bangalore. Their inspiration: Sachin!
Sachin Tendulkar's two-day pilgrimage to the Kukke Sri Subramanya temple drew scores of fans. It also had them sourcing details from a website on the town.
As a result, the website saw over 17 lakh hits till 1.30 pm on Monday, leading to a server crash. The pilgrimage by Tendulkar, his wife Anjali, and his siblings Ajit, Nitin and Savitha, resulted in a massive 17,50,200 hits over Sunday and Monday on www.kukkesubramanya.com. The website received traffic from all over the world, while the town attracted scores of fans. Many e-mails and telephonic enquiries were received at the temple's reception office at Kukke Subramanya in Dakshina Kanara district.
"It was never like this in the past," said a source at the website. "Though VIPs from all parts of the country visit the Kukke Sri Subramanya temple, Tendulkar's visit has led to a deluge of enquiries about the pujas here." At the temple, Lord Subramanya is worshipped as a snake.
Tendulkar, wife Anjali, brothers Ajith and Nithin, and sister Savitha spent Sunday and Monday at Kukke Subramanya, performing rituals aimed at helping him overcome sarpa dosha - perhaps one of the factors behind his nagging injuries.
"He performed sarpa samskara on Sunday, and ashlesha bali and nagapratishte on Monday," said the source. "These rituals were recommended by a family friend, VS Nayak, living in Bangalore."
To fans eager to shake hands with him, Tendulkar said, "I've pain in my shoulders. Please don't disturb me."

Super pics, didn’t know Sachin was so pious.
The only pic that seemed jocular was the one where he is the only one sitting with unfolded legs in the presence of the Guruji

Subramanya is a great place to visit, infact i have an emotional attachment to this temple and visit twice in a year.
Right now roads are pretty bad on Charmadi ghat…. i would recommend everybody to take Bisle Ghat or via Somvarpet route….

When we go to Kukke Subramanya and do Sarpa Samskara Pujai, some of our family’s ancesterol doshas and a person’s marriage doshas (if against our Hindu tradition and customs) as well as if any wrong doings according to our wrong habits/lifestyle as youngsters are all cleared (Nevarthi Aguththe).
