To my surprise I received a mail from Srinivassan Soundarrajan and he had beautiful pictures of Ananthasayana perumal in his gallery. I thanked him and posted the pictures of Ananthasayana perumal
Few days later I was browsing through his gallery and found beautiful ranganathar and the description read Ranganathar, Rajaji nagar Bangalore. It was a weekend and I took an auto and ended up in West of Chord Road(Manjunath Nagar) Ranganathar temple. I entered the temple and surprised to see Ranganathar which was different from the photo. I did archana and returned home. The same night I messaged Srinivassan Soundarrajan and told him about the ranganathar temple in West of Chord Road.
He was not aware of the exact location and he promised me to get back with the proper address and location of temple. This was because he left Bangalore few years back.
Today I again did a search in google maps based on approximate location suggested by Srinivassan Soundarrajan. I boarded a bus and got down at Bashyam circle and walked towards the location suggested by my google maps based on GPS(mobile phone). After 10 mins of walk I saw a gopuram in the corner of road and found it was a Bala murugan temple. I turned back in confusion and the Sri Kailash Vaikunta Mahakshetra Temple,was on the opposite side with a park in front of the temple.
I rushed inside the temple and this time it was the same ranganathar I saw in the photo gallery of Srinivassan Soundarrajan. There were 2 devotees in the temple and I spent some time and had a nice dharsan. I thanks Srinivassan Soundarrajan for giving me the oppurtunity to visit 2 ranganathar temples located in less than 2kms radius.
Sri Kailash Vaikunta Mahakshetra Temple is located in Rajaji Nagar 5th Block, which is less than 3kms Bangalore Railway station.
This temples has Panchamukha Anjaneyar, Ranganathar (More than 20 feet length), Srinivasa perumal, Shiva, Tirupurasundari, Navagraha, Ganesha and Subramanya. Lakshminarasimhar temple is right in front of temple. Also one can find 7 feet sani bhagwan temple and Balamurugan temple in the opposite side.

This is an amazing temple I have come across. The temple is over crowded on Saturdays as Saturdays are auspicious for Lord Sri Venkatesh Perumal. Also everyday they decorate every God so well and you feel that God is sitting in that Garbagruha. They are so real. Auspicious place to visit. I highly recommend this temple.
ReplyDeleteHow to reach the temple from Mejastic bus stand?
DeleteThe temple is 3-5kms from Majestic bus stand/Railway station. This temple is located near Bashyam circle, Rajaji Nagar. There is also balasubramanya temple in front of this temple. Near Bashyam circle there is a government play ground. opposite to play ground there is a temple arch. you have to reach the temple arch and reach the end of road. the temple is on left side.
