On 3rd July'22, myself along with my parents & cutie pie got to visit Sri Gavi Gangadheeswarar temple located at Gavipuram, Bengaluru. It is an ancient temple built by Kempe Gowda with the presiding deity as Lord Shiva engraved out in a cave with amazing architecture. The temple yard is adorned with large monolithic sculptures. The temple also stands as an example of Indian rock-cut architecture. Other deities available in the temple are Lord Vinayaka, Subramanya, Uma Maheswara, Durga devi, Dakshinamurthy, Navagrahas etc., We had a very pleasant, blissful evening at this temple with the blessings of Lord Shiva.
