History of Athma Lingeshwara Temple

Our team happen to visit Athma Lingeshwara Temple , one of the temple gaining popularity recent times . This is around 85 kms from Bangalore at Mandya district and 15 kms from Bangalore-Mysore highway.

The word Athma Lingeshwara reminds us about King Ravana in Ramayana who to fulfill his mother’s wish took the blessings of Lord Shiva and established Lord Shiva’s Athma Linga ( This actual place is however in Gokarna)

It seems this was a hill before which is then shaped to a temple. The gopuram of this temple is quite at a higher altitude and one has to climb few stairs to reach here. Make sure you visit here during early day hours or at noon. Our feet felt this summer heat while we climbed the stairs. You will find Lord Hanuman and Nandi structures on the way. Once we enter inside , we are brought straight to the main temple which is surrounded by green plantations in a open environment. This is built using modern styles.
Place is calm and relaxing. There is ample to sit and spend time watching Lord Shiva linga and the poojas.
