Trip to Kolar Gold Fields
Bangaru Tirupati Venkateshwara Temple & Koti Lingeshwara Temple.Hello Friends,I am back with one more memorable trip experience. …February 2nd 2008.On Saturday early morning around 7:30 am we started our journey in my Getz car towards kolar. We reached kolar at 9:30 am, we took the kolar bypass road for reaching our first pit stop @ Woody's ,Nagarjuna Hotel its exactly around 75 km from Bangalore Basavanagudi. Woody’s is the only recognized vegetarian hotel there. If u visit the hotel then don't forget to try the rave dosa & pongal they are very tasty.For reaching kolar we need to take KR Puram Hanging bridge route and continue on old madras road ,then on the way we crossed Basavanapura - Veerenahalli then we reached Hosakote (NH 4) , from there it’s a straight narrow road to reach kolar. It’s a National Highway 4 but the roads are not so good …its doesn’t look like NH road.After reaching kolar we need to take the route via Malur taluk, Bangarpet route just follow the direction boards, later we will cross the Bethamangala, we will also cross the Koti Lingeshwara temple to reach Guttahalli. Guttahalli is 39 km from Kolar. Bangaaru Tirupati is situated in Guttahalli it was our 2nd pit stop.Bangaru Tirupati Venkateshwara Temple is a historically famous well-known pilgrimage center in Karnataka. Bangaru Tirupati is also known as Chikka Tirupati. It is said that, long back, Bhrugu Maharshi had created a hillock of about 40 mtrs huge and was utilized for meditation purpose. Just below the hillock is Garuda holding the big snake. The temple itself has a very impressive gopuram and very big kalyani.
Venkataramana, also called Srinivasa idol in the temple is very small and very attractive has to be viewed from a six-holed window & on the other hillock there is Goddess Alamelu Mangamma (Padmavathi) temple.
