I believe there is just one other temple (somewhere in Tamil Nadu) where the idol is placed in a chariot like structure. Devotees visiting Sode must definitely visit this temple and observe the unique stone chariot and the three wheels. Even today, one can find that the stone chariot structure housing the idol in the temple has just three wheels. Sri Bhutaraja used one of the wheels of the stone chariot to destroy the demon and made it on time to Sode. On the way, he is supposed to have been stopped by a demon. The structure is in the form of a stone chariot. Bhutaraja started bringing the entire Garbha Gudi (sanctum sanctorum) of the temple from Badari. It is believed that the idol was brought to Sode by Sri Bhutaraja. He told them that the idol is being worshipped by Sri Madhvacharya and the same was seen by him when he visited him and Sri Vyasa in Badari. When people questioned Swamiji on the idol, he told them that the idol of Sri Trivikrama would come to Sode from Uttara Badari (in the Himalayas). Sri Vadiraja Swamy asked the king to start construction of a temple. The ruler of Swadi requested Sri Vadiraja Theertharu to construct a temple as there existed no Vishnu temple at that place. From Hubli, It takes approximately 2 hrs to reach sodhe There are Buses plying from Bangalore,Pune etc. Sonde /Sode is accessible by well maintained roads. It is approximately 20 kms from Sirsi town Sodhe/Sonda/Swathi is a small hamlet, Peaceful and non commercialized location in Northern Karnataka. It is approximately 25 kms away from Udupi. The paddy fields which Gowri gave birth to the child is called as “Gowri Gadde” The baby was named Bhuvaraha and Later become the great Dvaita saint Sri Vadiraja Swamy. within few minutes she was in labor and before other members of the house could reach her, Gauri had already delivered a boy. The cow ran away but Gauri sat down to relax.
Immediately Gauri came out of the house and started to chase the cow away. Swamiji modified the Condition even more as “if Gowri devi gives birth to the boy inside the house, The parents can keep the child, If outside the house, They have to give the Child to the Matha”Ībout nine months later, one day when the entire family except Gauri were having food, a cow entered the paddy field in front of their house. Parents were not happy on hearing this condition. Vagheesa Theertharu replied they would be blessed with a boy soon and The boy should be handed over to the Matha(To be the next Ascetic). Once they visited Sri Vagheesa Theetharu of Sodhe Mutt near Kumbhasi and Prayed him to bless them for a child. Ramabhatta and Gowri devi, A couple lived near Kumbhasi did not have children for a long time. This is the birth place of Vadiraja Theertharu.
