Bangaru Tirupathi Temple near Kolar



Bangaru Tirupathi temple is about 8 to 9 kms from Kotilingeswara temple in the road leading to Mulbagal.
They are 3 pictures shown.  The first one is showing gopuram, water tank etc., photo taken from inside the temple.   The second one shows the steps leading to Padmavathi temple.   The third photo was taken from outside to show the height of the hillock and atop is the Venkateswara temple.    This temple has the connection of Bhirugu Maharishi similar to Tirupathi.    The maharishi worshipped the lord here with his eye in the leg.  Hence there is nethra dharisanam here of the lord through a window with apertures.    The lord is a samll vigraha compared to tirupathi and is so beautiful, you will not like to come out of the temple.  The pradakshanam is done with a small outer praharam and the prasada laddu is sold here.   The steps  to get down is the one which leads to the ascending steps of Padmavathi thayar sannidhi again atop of another small hillock.   This idol also is small and beautiful.    The months of July-August draws larger number of visitors compared to other months.  Mulbagal is 17 kms from here and hence, the temple can be visited from Mulbagal also.
