Ghati Subramanya, Hindu temple in Doddaballapura, India

Ghati Subramanya is a Hindu shrine in Doddaballapura northeast of Bengaluru, known for a black stone sculpture with seven serpent heads. The complex includes several buildings around a central courtyard with a large water pool on one side.

A merchant built the shrine in the 15th century after reportedly experiencing a divine sign while resting by the river. Local rulers expanded the complex in later centuries, adding side buildings and enclosure walls.

Devotees call the village S. S. Ghati, short for Sri Subrahmanya Ghati, and in rural speech Subbarayana Ghati. Childless couples make vows here, and thousands of snake idols (nagarahavu) are installed near the temple. Every day three ritual lamp offerings are held, and during the fair lakhs of pilgrims arrive.

Ghati Subramanya lies near Tubagere, about 16 km from Doddaballapura and roughly 60 km from Bengaluru; most visitors reach Doddaballapura first, then continue by bus or private vehicle. The sanctum holds the seven-headed Kartikeya idol facing east and the Narasimha idol facing west, the latter seen in a large mirror at the rear. Daily rituals include three lamp offerings, and food is served at the temple.

The sanctum holds two deities back to back: Kartikeya with seven cobra heads faces east, while Narasimha faces west. A large mirror at the rear lets devotees see both at once. The temple is also a South Indian centre for worship of Kethu.
