BANGARU TIRUPATHI TEMPLE

 Sunday, November 3, 2024

Bangaru Tirupathi, Kolara Dist.

 We (Me Mom, Ravi & cute Urvi) left from K. R Puram at 9.30 am, having reached there at 9 am at Ravi's apartment. (Salarpuriia Satwa- Celesta)

After reaching there, we had to climb about 120 steps to reach to reach the Venkateshwara Temple, which is on the hillock.

The Murti of Bajaji is viewed through a small window and is called netra darshana. The belief is that darshan of Lord through this small window helps in attaining moksha.

Bangaru Tirupati, also known as  Shri Venkataramana Swamy Temple, is located at Guttahalli in Karnataka and is dedicated to Lord Balaji. This Venkateswara Temple is one of the 108 Tirupathis in India. The temple is located around 25 km from Kolar and 100 km from Bangalore. 

The legend associated with the Bangaru Tirupathi temple suggests that the place of temple is where Bhrigu Rishi performed penance and intense austerities. Bhrigu Rishi had kicked Vishnu in anger and Goddess Lakshmi had left Vishnu for tolerating the insult of Bhrigu Rishi.

Bhrigu Rishi who later repented his action performed austerities at Bangaru Tirupati. Srihari Vishnu is worshipped here as Ekanta Srinivasa – one without consort Lakshmi.

Another small hillock climbing about 50 steps, there is Padmavathi Temple

We had free Lunch (Prasad) by Temple administration, with Kichadi, payasa, Rice, Rasam, and Buttermilk, on neat and clean environment, along with other devotees. Served on banana leaf, on table and chair.

We left from there by 2 pm, proceded to Koti Lingeshwara.
