Kotilingeshwara Temple, Kammasandra Village, Kolar District.

From Bangaru Tirupati, we started off for Kotilingeshwara Temple, 10 Km away and 110 km from Bengaluru City on good road.

The presiding deity is Lord Shiva and has a huge, largest Linga, 108 ft (33m) tall, and Lord Nandi in front 35ft (11m) tall and lahs of Lingas all over the area of 15 acres.

The temple was constructed by Swamy Samba Siva Murthy and his wife V Rukmini in the year 1980, After his demise in 2018, his daughter son is taking care of the premises.

Shiva Bhakthas instal Linga according to their capacity since 1980, with aim of putting 1,00,00,000 (1 Crore) Lingas hence called Koti lingeshwara.

After 40 years, now the place has become tourist spot. Lot of people visit the place, facilities like car parking food court, games for children etc are good.

We spent more than two hours as there was heavy rush for Darshan at diiferent venues of the Deities.

Returned to Ravi's apartment by 7 pm and returned to Hebbal home by 9 pm.
