    - Beautiful temple but very crowded…
    Friday: 7:30 AM - 9:00 PM Religious Sites
    Sri Chamundeshwari Temple image
    The temple is located on top of a hill and provides amazing views of the city below. We visited the temple at night and there was a huge line for entry. The place where people queue up can get suffocating due to the barriers created so would recommend to buy a ticket worth ₹100 for direct entry which is smoother and time saving. You also get Prasad when buying the ticket. The temple itself is very beautiful and the deity is worth a visit. See more..

    Vithala Temple Complex image
    The temple complex is an ode to the Sheer grandeur of the Vijayanagara Empire of 14 to 16 century before being destroyed by its neighbors in 1565. The temple has musical pillars whicch is now not allowed. The architecture is too amazing to be put into words. A guide is a must to understand the various nuances of the sculpture.

    - The Best Auto Rickshaw driver and guide At Hampi
    Religious Sites
    Virupaksha Temple image
    We really enjoyed our day at Hampi, the temples are ornate and intricately designed, I would highly recommend our Auto rickshaw Guide and Driver Venkatesh. He was knowledgeable but most importantly tailored our trip to fit our time and needs. Its an ideal way to see the ruins, as each site has its own guides if you feel a need for one. For the most part you don't one but if you may need one for a specific temple there are guide books available and quite self explanatory . Hampi Guide Auto Venkatesh cell phone 91 94802 10208 he he all you need. See more..

    - Beautiful Temple
    Spent 1-2 hours Historic Sites • Religious Sites
    Somnathpur Temple image
    Located around an hours' drive from Mysore, the Chennakeshava temple in Somnathpur is an example of Hoysala architecture. The beautiful 13th century temple is worth visiting for the intricate sculpture on the walls, pillars and ceilings depicting stories from Hindu mythology. The ornate historical temple is well preserved by the Archeological Society of India. There are a couple of areas which need improvement : - There is no ticket counter and payment for entry is only through UPI, which is difficult in view of poor network in the area. No options for cash or cards - There is no proper cafeteria. A good and clean one is required Improvement in these areas would greatly benefit tourists, including foreign ones See more..

    Religious Sites
    Sri Krishna Temple image
    We went at 6.00pm , very less crowd, we had the most amazing experience. The evening ritual ( seva) starts at 6.30 pm , they light hundreds of diyas in the mandir and the evening Aarti enfolds accompanied by lots of musicians playing traditional musical instruments. Post that the deity is taken in a palaquin( palkhi) around the Krishna mutt. Then on the boat in the sarovar all accompanied by the procession of musicians. This around 7.30 pm . Post that the diety is kept on huge almost 30 feet raths , pulled by the devotees .The raths are beautifully illuminated!!! There is traditional Indian music being played. It's a mesmerizing experience. This happens DAILY (except the monsoons ) . This tradition is going on for centuries.

    - Better following the clean-up operation
    Spent < 1 hour Religious Sites
    Sri Nandi Temple image
    Since we were last here 6 years ago, access to this temple with its significant bull sculpture has been closed to vehicles. As we had been visiting the Sri Chamundeshwari Temple up above, we opted to walk down the 300 steps to this one and, of course, we had to walk back down but it was worth it to see the magnificent sculpture of the bull which has been cleaned up and looks much the better for it. I believe the alternative route involves a climb of 1000 steps so I would recommend driving to the top and doing the 300 step exercise. See more..
  10. 4.5 Hoysaleswara Temple (766 reviews)
    - Magnificent Halebeedu
    Religious Sites
    Hoysaleswara Temple image
    Read about the temple and the Hoysalas in our history books, this temple just like Belur Chennakeshava temple is an architectural marvel. Built somewhere in the 12th century this is a prime attraction for the tourists here. There are many monolithic structures here and it is a treat to your eyes. The detailing provided in these structures through manual carvings are unbelievable. The carvings are even better than the ones you find in Hampi. A photographers paradise. The place is usually crowded. Parking is on the main road and usually crowded too as the street is usually busy. They charge Rs. 30 for a four wheeler. There is a footwear stand inside the complex which charges you Rs.5 per pair. This is a must visit place and would surely recommend. See more..

    Spent 1-2 hours Historic Sites • Ancient Ruins • Points of Interest & Landmarks • Religious Sites
    Chennakesava Temple image
    The Chennakesava temple of Belur is one of the best preserved temples of the Hoysala dynasty of Karnataka. The Hoysalas were famed for the creation of intricately carved temples during their reign and the Chennakesava temple along with the Hoysaleshwara temple of Halebeedu mark the epitomy of their skills in this area. The temple itself is a living temple which means that the deity has not been destroyed by any invaders and therefore is worshipped as per Hindu traditions to this date. It is a well preserved temple and is a must visit for every history and architecture lover. Pure poetry in stone. The temple is well maintained and guides are available at the entrance of the monument. Definitely engage a guide as it will enhance the experience a thousandfold. The guide will walk you through all the main sculptures and architectural details including the famed statue of Shantala Devi, the beautiful queen of King Vishnuvardana, the most famous of the Hoysala rulers who commissioned this temple. Definitely stay until dusk (7:00PM) when the temple closes as the changing light illustrates the full glory of the monument. The legend of Shantala Devi, of the great scupltor Jakanna all come to life as the crowds dwindle and the light starts fading. See more..

    Caverns & Caves • Religious Sites
    Badami Cave Temples image
    Stunning sculptures.Needs Climbing lot of steps. Climate was perfect being monsoon. Heard it's normally very hot and need to fight exhaustion due to heat. But it's worth the pain and if you are a history/architecture lover, then this place it a must see place. With minimum crowd, it took 2 hours to see the whole place. View of Agasthya lake with the Bhoothnath temple and the hillside in the background is breath taking. Next you can take the path to Bhoothnath temple. Very narrow streets and poor hygienic conditions. Don't try to take your car. If you cannot walk, then take an auto...it's just less than 1.5kms. You will pass thru ASI museum and Badami fort entrance. On the way back, you can visit Badami fort. Take a guide. I had met one Mr. Raaju(+919986266209). He speaks English and was more a friend than a guide. But remember to wear your shoes and be prepared for 30mins of Climbing. See more..

    ISKCON Bangalore, Sri Sri Lakshmi Narasimha Temple image
    I visited ISKCON Bangalore several times, the last being in September,2019. I feel some positive energy spread in the entire hall in front of Sree Krishna Idol. Sree Krishna bhajans are heart touching and it takes us to another world. No doubt the place is best for meditation. Those who love peace of mind, I suggest this place. At the same time regret to say that the quality of food served in the canteen restaurant (ground floor) is not upto the standard, need lot of improvements. Hope that the authorities will look into it and make it a value addition. See more..

The presiding deity of the temple is Lord Hanuman with unconditional divinity, which is located at the top of Quaint hillock. Another beautiful shrine is available for Lord Ram with Sita & Laxman. The foot of the shrine has tiny temples for Lord Ganesha, Raja Rajeshwari, Devi and Navagrahas. The temple is well organized & beautifully maintained.

    Sri Mookambika Temple image
    Visited Sri Mookambika Shakti Peeth in July 2019 when the monsoon was on. The road from Udupi to Kollur passed through lush green hills. Stayed in Kollur at a very modest Sri Sringeri Shankara Math Guest House. For those travelling from Udupi, I highly recommend Deepak's Taxi whose mobile number is 9845652721. The Shrine has a strong presence of The Mother. One needs to wear a Dhoti or a Veshti to enter the shrine. The shrine is usually very crowded, but surprisingly we found no crowd. The devotees are offered free food inside the shrine. Beware that no bags are allowed in. See more..

A beautiful statue of Gautam Buddha at the entrance of the Pyramid is another lovely attraction your eyes would continue to gaze at. In the basement of the Pyramid, there is a library with variety of books on meditation and mind rejuvenation. They also offer free food (Prasadam) in the afternoon. Except parking charges (₹20 for two-wheeler and ₹50 for four-wheeler), you are not required to pay any fees to visit this place. Happy meditation! See more..

He showed around the entire town and also took me to Agumbe sunset point and back to Sringeri. He patiently waited outside a restaurant for me, while I had food. He politely rejected my offer to have food with me and did not complain once about getting late or having to get back to sringeri. We came to an arrangement before we started the trip I negotiated the price but then gave extra as his driving was smooth and comfortable. I have taken his permission to update his mobile number. I recommend all to visit all the places, four direction four temples, (Jain temple excluded near Agumbe, extra charge just for this.) and enjoy your stay in the Holy place of sringeri. See more..

    Shree Bhoga Nandishwara Temple image
    I heard about this temple from a friend of mine by serendipity. Bhoga Nandeeswara is Shuvalingam with BRAHMA SUTRAM ie you will see lines vertically and horizontally. It is supposed to be extremely powerful. Felt blessed after performing abhisheshakam from 10 AM to 12 Noon. Priests are very thorough and dedicated. If I am correct, it is oldest Shiva temple which is still active (nitya poojas) in Karnataka See more..

    Venugopala Swamy Temple image
    Excellent place to visit. Somehow hidden or not known to a lot of people when we visit. Built around the backwaters of the dam, which provides an excellent view. Temple, gardens and everything as a whole was brilliant. We planned it along with Brindavan gardens. We spent the afternoon over here, and then the evening at Brindavan gardens. Use your Google maps if your local auto driver doesn't know which way to go. See more..
