'''Bhagavadh Vinayaga Temple''' ({{Lang-ta|கும்பகோணம் பகவத் விநாயகர் கோயில்}}) is a [[Hindu temple]] dedicated to the deity [[Vinayaka]], located in the town of [[Kumbakonam]] in [[Thanjavur District]] [[Tamil Nadu]], [[India]].

==Location==
This temple is located at [[Nageswaraswamy Temple, Kumbakonam|Nagesvarar]] Tirumanchana Veedhi. This temple is known as Bhagavadh Vinayakar and Bhagava Vinayakar. The ghat connected with this temple and the [[Kaveri|Cauvery]] ghat are very near to the temple.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fZ13mg4aRHc கும்பகோணம் பகவத் விநாயகர் கோயில், Shri Bhagavadh Vinayaga Temple, Kumbakonam, Tamilgnanaboomi, 1 September 2019]</ref>

==History==
Bhagavar Maharishi resided in [[Vedaranyam]].<ref>[https://temple.dinamalar.com/news_detail.php?id=102186 தினமலர் கோயில்கள், தந்த அலங்காரம்]</ref> His mother on her deathbed asked him to gather her ashes after her death and dissolve them in the place when they turned into flower. After her death he went to several places. When he came to [[Kumbakonam]] and was taking bath in [[Kaveri|Cauvery]], his disciple opened the pot which contained the ashes. He thought it might have some food. To his surprise there were flowers instead of ashes. He kept mum, without telling anything to his guru. The guru was on the thinking that it would bloom only in [[Varanasi|Kasi]]. During his trip to Kasi he was shocked as ashes did not bloom into river. At that time his disciple narrated the incident which happened at Kumbakonam. Then he took them again to Kumbakonam and after his bath in the Cauvery, he saw ashes were turned into flower. Later he dissolved the ashes in the Cauvery. Then the guru and disciple came to know that Kumbakonam was more holy than Kasi and worshipped the Vinayaga. Since then the temple came to be known as Bhagavadh Vinayaga Temple.<ref name=find>[http://www.findmytemple.com/en/thanjavur/t215-bhagavadh-vinayaga,-kumbakonam Shri Bhagavadh Vinayaga Temple, Kumbakonam]</ref>
