Bhuvarahaswamy Temple Near Melkote

One is basically a ruse to grab land( Christians and Muslims also indulge in this) by installing an Idol and as the visitors increase a temple /Church/Masjid is built.In the case of Islam,in lieu of Idol a green flag is installed initially.

Some of them are sanctified by Kumbabhisheka performed according to Agamas.

These are very few.
