The story behind to build Tiptur Santoshi Maa Temple

I Ram Prasad (Founder of Santoshi Maa Temple in Tiptur) was just 14-15 years old, had been to Bangalore to my aunt Seetha Lakshmi house at that time my aunt was performing vratha of Goddess “Jai Santoshi Maa”.

 

During that time she thought me the rules and ways of Performing the Pooja.This was the biggest gift that I got. I started performing this vratha near the place where the temple is situated currently. Just after 4 weeks of me performing this vartha i started getting dreams about the Great Goddess of Santoshi Maa every day. Happen to get Government Job in Bangalore & also gifted with great family wife with two beautiful daughters.

​

There was also a time where I forgot my god at that time god came in my dreams and reminded me about her. All these were very shocking incident for me. Every steps during the constructing of this temple was the instructing given by my god Santoshi Maa.

​

Hence I requested all the devotees to serve the god and also pray for Santoshi Maa blesses.
