Athma lingeshwara Temple in Doddarisinakere

 A roadtrip to Athma Lingeshwara Temple near Mandya.


It was another temple visit with family on a weekend. This doesn't require any planning since it is 92 kms from Kanakapura road. Two routes are available. The route via Kanakapura is 5 kms more but scenic to drive withut any median except the risky patch from kanakapura to Konankunte cross.

The route via Mandya is on SH but not so scenic. With metro construction Mysore road is not a great diriving experience.

Once you reach the temple via the Sugarcane fields you are in a for a pleasant surprise. Newly constructed and well maintained temple on very samll hill of 100 steps.

The temple is beautiful , serene with a  beautiful garden sorrounding. It has a huge campus where you can eat and play as a family. there is big football stadium adjacent to the temple warranting some fun.

Main deity here is lord Shiva(Athma lingeshwara). When you climb the step enroute to the Shiva you can see Hanuman and Nandi which are very beautiful.

You can spend good time by sitting in the garden sorrounding the temple.

The contact number is available on the net, and it is a must visit for like minded people who are fond of temples.

Road Trip to Tiruvannamalai from Bangalore

Day - January 11th and January 12th 2020 It was a sudden trip from Bangalore, where me, my mother and another family firend decided to go to Tiruvannamalai for a temple visit and Girivalam. It was the Day after Pournami so that the place is not overcrowded We started at 6 am from Bangalore and Reached Chengam at 11.30 am. We had some personal work on the way hence it tool 5.5 hrs. Normally it should not take more than 3.5 hrs I took the longer route Via Bargur, Thirupatthur, Singarampettai since the road from Krishnagiri to Tirvannamali was horrible. This was our second trip in that route within 3 weeks so we were aware the hardships in commuting in that road. On the way to T.Malai, we wanted to visit Parvatha Malai(mountain). It is not easy to climb and doing a Girivalam of Parvatha malai is a 28 km sojourn which is lot an easy one. So we drove around the mountain. Enroute we visited a 1414 years old Samadhi of a great Saint This is a mutt of Sri Jagadguru Aadhi Siva Lingac...

A Quick Whirlwind trip to Kanchipuram for a overnight stay and Temple visit on 20th and 21st of May 2024

This time it was only me and my mother, to visit temples in Kanchipuram and our plan was to pick my daughter the next day from her hostel on the way back to Bangalore. On my onward journey I had plans to visit some temples before checking in to the hotel in Kanchipuram. Being born and brough up in Chennai and with close proximity to Kanchipuram, it was ironic that in more than 4 decades I never had any opportunity to visit Kanchipuram temples which has significant heritage  and popularity. Even though we had travelled innumerable times by car between Bangalore and Chennai, time had not been  ripe to visit these temples until this day. It is a guilty feeling that I had taken a COONS AGE to see these temples, but it is better late than never. We started early at 5.11 AM from Bangalore with heavy rain forecast for the next few days. highway traffic was relatively less, I could reach Sai Sangeeth our first pit stop for breakfast in Vaniyamabadi by 7 am a distance of 150 Kms cove...

Sanjeevaraya temple - Ramanagara District(60 kms) from bangalore- Suitable for a evening drive aka Temple visit

2nd August 2020 It was a Sunday, where we all were craving for a long drive in our car in the midst of Covid restrictions. Covid pandemic spread, lockdown fever and protocol to travel with masks, sanitisers and home food were inevitable for the day. We as a family decided to do a impromptu visit to a Hanuman temple by name Sanjeevaraya temple in Ramanagara district, in Karnataka. It was situated at a shor distance of 60 kms from Konankunte cross, Kanakapura main road. Route- Kengeri, Ramanagara, Kengal Anjaneya temple Once you reach the Kengal Anjaneya temple which is on the Mysore highway after Ramanagara, you slow down since you have to take a right turn in 1 km. there is small arch which you might loose sight if you drive fast. You have to take the right , where you hit a railway level crossing within 100 meters. It is a village road(very narrow one) where you have to drive with care. You can see the bustling villagers on the streets especially if it is a evening time they enjoy...
