Temple has been directed to stop the use of amplifiers to control noise pollution.

As per the notice action will be invoked against temple administrative staff as per provisions of the Noise Pollution (Regulation & Control) Rules,2000 if they fail to heed to the warning.

The Doddaganesha temple has shrines dedicated to Lord Ganesha, Minto Anjaneya Swamy, Karanji Anjaneyaswamy Temple, Dodda Basavanna Temple among others in its premises.
