Famous Temples in Bangalore

Kempfort Shiva Temple

It all began when RVM, the founder of the temple, had a vision during one of his morning 'thought time'; a vision to build a temple where a huge statue of Lord Shiva would stand, building Faith, Hope and Belief for generations to come. He was surprised, because when this inspiration struck him, he had no money, no land, and no plan. All he had was this dream. But RVM was fully convinced that this dream was in fact a message from God. Thus he started trying his best to make this dream come true. With God by his side, he soon found an apt property in Bangalore, arranged funds for the project and found an architect who would bring his dream into a reality.

Construction of the 65-feet-tall Lord Shiva idol and the temple started in 1994. On February 26, 1995, on the auspicious day of Maha Shivaratri, the Shiva Temple was inaugurated. Sri Shankaracharya of Shringeri (who is believed to be the incarnation of Lord Shiva himself) dedicated the Shiv Mandir to the public. The white statue of the Vignaharan Ganapati is seated close to the entrance, blessing you with his right hand and a modak in his left hand. Apart from this the temple features the Navgraha temple, Pratyaksh Ling, a replica of Mansarovar Lake and Upchaar Patthar, which is a healing stone known to have magically cured numerous ailing patients
