Sathyamma Devi Temple - Jogula Bhavi, Savadatti

Another place of worship on the Savadatti hill lies the holy place "Jogula Bhavi / Satyamma Kunda" or tank, where worshippers bathe and change into new garments before entering the temple. The goddess of the temple is also called Jagadamba, which translates to "Mother of the Universe".

An interesting religious custom being observed here is called "Nimmana," where female devotees circumambulate the Satyamma / Sathyavva temple in a clockwise direction on the prathakshana path with neem leaves in their mouths. Neem leaves are known for their proven medicinal properties. It is believed that the deity Sathyavva is a form of Kali.

Some devotees hold the belief that as Sathyamma Devi is considered the elder sister of Renuka Yellamma Devi, it is customary to first visit Jogula Bhavi Sathyavva Devi temple before proceeding to the Renuka Yellamma Devi temple.
