Large Ganesha and Shiva paintings

This is Sharavu Mahaganapati temple in the heart of Mangalore. Situated near carstreet, it's one of the popular and sacred Ganapati temple in Mangalore. 

The morning rush hour time is when one can see lot of devotees offering their prayers here. School going kids, business men, working women, auto drivers, craftsmen etc., are some of the typical devotees you will find here.

One key highlight of the temple is, as you enter the main entrance of the temple, you will find huge paintings of Lord Ganesha and Lord Shiva on either sides.


Whats even more fasinating is all paintings inside the temple are done by a Christian. His name is David Alangar. The attention to details and life like paintings is the key strenght of this artist.
