Yellamma Temple, Saundatti, Hindu temple in Saundatti, India
The temple stands on Yellamma Gudda hill, featuring three sacred water tanks called Kumkum Kundam, Yoni Kundam, and Arihan Kundam at its rear section.
Archaeological evidence reveals occupation from the mid-8th to mid-11th centuries during the Rashtrakuta and Chalukyan periods, with Bomappa Nayaka constructing the temple in 1514.
The temple holds special importance for pastoral communities like Dhangar and Kurumbas, who worship Goddess Renuka as one of the Saptamatrika divine mothers.
The temple complex includes guest houses and health centers managed by the Karnataka government since 1975, serving thousands of visitors throughout the year.
A sacred well called Jogal bhavi contains water that local people believe helps cure various skin conditions through regular application.
