Sri Kshetra Ganagapur, Gulbarga

Ganagapura is a Village in Karnataka, India. It is located in the Afzalpur taluk of Gulbarga district in Karnataka. The village is noted for its temple to Lord Dattatreya, who is said to have attained realization here on the banks of the river Bhima.
Ganagapura is a Kshetra (place of pilgrimage) associated with Sri Narasimha Saraswati Swami, the second incarnation of Dattatreya.
The Nirguna Math is adorned with the Nirguna Padukas. Sri Narasimha Saraswati Swami Maharaj stayed at Ganagapura for a period of 24 years. Shri Guru after his stay at Narsobawadi came to Ganagapur and started living at the Holy Confluence of Bhima and Amarja Rivers (Sangam). He used to come to the village only at Noon for Bhiksha. Once he came to a house of a Poor Brahmin who had a barren buffalo and asked the Brahmin lady to give him the Milk itself as Bhiksha. Though the lady said it was a barren one Guru Maharaj insisted her to get him the Milk. To the Surprise of all the villagers the Barren buffalo started giving liters of Milk. Then this news reached the head of the Village (Gramadhipati). The King then visited Shri Guru to come and stay at Ganagapur itself by establishing a Math there. This Math later came to be known as Nirgun Math due to the Presence of Guru Maharaj in Nirguna Roopa here forever.
Sangam Kshetra is a meeting point of Bhima and Amarja rivers. The water of these rivers, especially at their confluence, called Sangam, are considered extremely holy. There is a temple in Sangam in which the Shree Narasimha Saraswati Swamy performed the Anusthana.
The Audumbar tree is situated near Sangam. Many devotees do the Shree Gurucharitra parayana (reading of Shree Gurucharitra) there.
