Shurpali is a village near Jamkhandi, a town in Bagalkot district in the Indian state of Karnataka.

History

The village of Shurpali or ‘Shurpalaya’ houses Shri Lakshmi Narasimha swamy temple and is situated amidst cane fields on the bank of river Krishna. The ancient temple of Shri LakShmI Narasimha has references in skanda purana. There is an Ashwattha vruksha in front of the main deity.

The puranas say that on seeing "the beauty of Shurpalaya", the tears of joy of Lord Parashurama that fell on the ground here gave birth to a Peepal tree (Ashvattha vruksha). Mother Bhageerathi (river Ganga) is said to have come here to give ‘Shurpa Daana’ (Morada-Baagina) to a Brahman to get rid of her sins. Hence the name ‘Shurpalaya’.
