A visit to Bangalore often ends with one visiting some of the oldest and most beautiful temples that Bangalore boasts of. One such temple worth visiting is the Venkataramanaswamy Temple, located adjacent to Tipu Sultan’s summer palace. It is a 300 year old temple built by Maharaja Chikka Devaraya Wodeyar, displaying some of the best features of Dravidian temple art. The ornate stone pillars opposite the Venkataramanaswamy Temple, supported by magnificent lion brackets, still bear the imprint of the cannon balls, which ruined portions of the temple during the Third Mysore War.

However, after the fall of Tipu Sultan in 1799, the Wodeyar Dynasty was restored, and Krishna Deva Raja Wodeyar III performed his thanksgiving puja at this temple before holding his historic Durbar at Tipu's Palace on October 15, 1811.

The temple is quite the hub of activity, with something happening at all hours of the day! To enter the temple, get prepared to take your shoes off, stand in separate Men and Ladies queues and give some rupees as an offering. The Venkataramanaswamy Temple is a testimony to the fact that Bangalore has some of the most beautiful and oldest temples in the country.
