Now when I talk about Pandharpur it is quite obvious that I also need to give information on the most famous ones which are nearby like Gangapur, Akkalkot & Tuljapur.We can start from Gangapur where Shri Narsimha Sarswati stayed for about 24 years.
Gangapur (located in the Afzalpur taluka of Gulbarga district in Karnataka.)
Situated at the confluence of river “Bhima” & “Amarja” this is auspicious place of lord Dattatraya, it is believed that any Ghost affected person gets relief from the ghost because of Lord Dattatraya powers in this holy place.
