Banashankari Temple In Bangalore

About Banashankari Temple in Bangalore
Banashankari Temple needs no introduction, at least amongst the pilgrims who flock here from within the state of Karnataka and from neighbouring states throughout the year. Also known as Banashankari Amma Temple, this famous attraction, enjoys a special space in the cultural and mythological history of Bangalore. Among all the holy places in Bangalore, Banashankari Temple is the most important one because of the beliefs and stories that revolve around its existence.
Banashankari Temple Bangalore is dedicated to Goddess Banashankari who is believed to be the avtar of Goddess Parvati, wife of Lord Shiva. The story of the construction of the temple goes like, Goddess Banashankari appears in fire to save the people from the atrocities of the asura named Durgamasur who used to disturb the locals during their prayer sessions. Goddess Banashankari then killed the asura to free the locals from his cruel doings. It is when the temple was built at the place where Goddess Banashankari appeared from fire.
Another interesting belief followed here is that the devotees worship the deity in  Rahukalam to get rid off problems like poverty and misery. According to Hindu culture, Rahukala is considered inauspicious. Therefore, to get rid of the inauspiciousness in their lives, people come here to worship the deity in Rahukalam.
Banashankari Amma Temple has been built many times in different architectural styles. The very first architectural style was Dravidian style. After many reconstructions, the current main premises are comprised of Mukha Mandapa, Ardha Mandapa, Garbha Griha and Vimana. The positivity of this tremendously beautiful temple can only be experienced after visiting.
There grows life in the premises of Banashankari Temple Bangalore when the preparations for the Banashankari Jatre Festival are on peak. The vibrant celebrations, attract tourists and devotees from the state and from the adjacent states as well in the month if January.
A trip to Bangalore would be incomplete without visiting the Banashankari Temple.

nice trip. hotel Athithi comforts was not good service wise. extra charges for practically everything. visited Abbey falls, namdroling monastery, Mandalpatti, Raja's seat, Chiklihole reservoir, Nisargadhama. would not recommend to go Mandalpatti when it's raining. Abbey falls and view from Raja's seat.

Lovely trip Kiran, the cab driver is a very nice and decent man.. Covered sights as much as possible in the given days. Fab hotel dreamland in kodaikanal is lovely. But the breakfast was not good there. Hotel garden manor (ooty) had small deluxe rooms. Overall a great trip. Thanks carlos

Hotel, cab and driver arrangements were very good. But the journey was too tiring as Ooty, bangalore and coorg were at huge distance of 6 hours each place one way and lots of time spent in traveling. I was completely depend on Travel agents advice for the best plan. I could have travelled from nearest airport which would have saved a lot of traveling time and would have got more time to relax and enjoy.
