On New year, we visited Lord Siva Temple in Kempfort (Bangalore) in Call Taxi. It is around 8 Kms from Koramangala and we opted for the Call Taxi's Rs100 per hour scheme .
It is a must-visit place for the people living in Bangalore. Interestingly, the entrance to the temple has few steps that go downwards and we need to walk few meters from the entrance into the temple to get the ticket for special darshan(Rs 50) or wait in a queue for worshipping without ticket.
The Lord Siva idol in sitting posture is atleast 60ft high and his smile is so lively that makes you feel so happy ! There is also a big idol of Lord Vinayaka in the entrance. The temple is very well planned as there is small pond before Lord Siva and beside the pond is the yagam where devotees can buy few wooden sticks, rice, oil and pray. There are also some caves with few deities inside those caves. In the pond, devotees lit candles and make it float in the water that keeps circulating around the pond. There is also a Magic Spot that will help us in achieving our desired thoughts if we stand over that spot chanting 'Aum Nama Shivaya' and drop coins that we get from the counter nearby. We could also see a jet of water sprinkling out of the head of Lord and falling on the ground and that scene is still living in my eyes !!
This great new Lord Shiva Temple is located inside Bangalore city . It is sure to draw in lot of local crowd on weekends & weekdays. I am sure that many people near that area would be planning their weekend to worship Lord Shiva and do a quick purchase in 'Total mall' for the week/month as it is very next to it.
Thanks for such a beautiful temple in the heart of city :-)
