Hello! I am just back after a short trip to Kundapura(social visit) and in the course of my stay I chanced to stray to a road that leads to Hattiangadi and came across a temple dedicated to Kunti(Goddess Kuntiamma Temple). I heard this is the only temple in India dedicated to Kunti!
When probed further with the priest there, he was quite new (about 5 years) and had no knowledge about its origin but attributed that the temple was more than 1000 years old and people who wished to have children and could not came specially to pray this goddess.
The idols represented there are 3 deities just behind an anthill which was an abode of snake.
Any more inputs on this would be good to those who know little bit more...........
