20 Popular Temples and Spiritual Places in Bangalore

Richard I'Anson/Getty Images

Bangalore is most commonly known as India's IT capital. However, the city is also said to have more than 1,000 temples and places of worship. They've been constructed over the years by different ruling dynasties, dating as far back as the Cholas in the 10th century. While many have important histories, others are more modern. Here are top temples in Bangalore, as well as ashrams, mosques and churches to visit.

If you'd prefer to be guided, Travspire conducts an insightful and recommended half-day Bangalore Temple Tour .

ISKCON Temple

Bangalore's Sri Radha Krishna ISKCON temple is one of the largest ISKCON temples in the world, dedicated to Lord Krishna. The temple was completed in 1997 and sits atop a seven-acre hill, known as Hare Krishna Hill, at Rajaji Nagar in north Bangalore. It's been designed as a huge cultural complex to promote Vedic culture and spiritual learning. The unusual architecture fuses classic Dravidian and contemporary styles, with a traditional gopuram (tower) and glass panels. At night, the complex is evocatively illuminated. The temple is open for worship from 4:15 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. for morning programs and from 4.15 p.m. to 8.15 p.m. for evening programs Ceremonies with chanting are held in the main hall every 15 minutes. Visitors can participate, and have discussions with teachers afterwards. 

Big Bull Temple and Ganesh Temple

The heritage neighborhood of Basavanagudi in southwest Bangalore is home to many old temples, one of which is the famous 16th century Bull Temple (Dodda Basavana Gudi). This Dravidian-style temple was built by Vijayanagar ruler Kempe Gowda, who established the city. It gets its name from its star attraction -- a massive monolithic Nandi (Lord Shiva's bull) that's carved out of granite rock. The temple is situated inside Bugle Rock Park and is commonly visited along with adjoining Dodda Ganeshana Gudi. This temple has a large monolithic idol of Lord Ganesh. The ancient rock formations in Bugle Rock Park are an extra attraction. Try and catch the annual Kadalekai Parishe groundnut festival that takes place during November or December, when farmers offer their first groundnuts to the sacred bull.

Gavi Gangadhareshwara Temple (Gavipuram Cave Temple)

Kempe Gowda also restored the Gavi Gangadhareshwara Temple (meaning the Cave of the Lord who Adorns the Ganga) in Gavipuram, not far from Basavanagudi. This Shiva temple is remarkable for being cut into rock and its special astronomical significance. About an hour before sunset on Makar Sankranti (January 14 or 15 each year), the sun's rays pass between the horns of Shiva's bull and bathe the temple's main idol in light. This popular spectacle is called Surya Majjana, or Sun Bath.

Someshwara Temple

Another of Bangalore's old Shiva temples, Someshwara Temple sits alongside Ulsoor Lake and is believed to have been founded during the Chola era. Notably, it's centuries older than the city it's located in! The temple was also extensively renovated by Kempe Gowda in the 16th century and its gopurams (towers) added then. Inside, the temple's 48 intricately carved pillars belong to the Vijayanagar era too. The carvings on the temple walls, some of which depict Shiva's marriage to Parvati, are a highlight. The temple is open from 6 a.m. to noon and 5.30 p.m. to 9 p.m. daily.

Nageshwara Temple Complex

Its worth heading out to Begur, next to Hosur Road on the southern outskirts of Bangalore, to see the Nageshwara temple complex. It dates back to the Ganga and Chola periods. Unlike Someshwara Temple, the architecture is distinctively Chola. However, what's of most interest is an important historic inscription from the late 9th century that references a Bengaluru (Bangalore) war. This hints of the existence of Bangalore way before the city was developed by Kempe Gowda in the 16th century.

Kadu Malleshwara Temple

Kadu Malleshwara Temple (also called Mallikarjuna Swamy Temple) was built in the 17th century by Venkoji, the younger brother of Maratha ruler Chhatrapati Shivaji, who ruled Thanjavur in Tamil Nadu. It was originally surrounded by thick jungle that later gave way to another of Bangalore's atmospheric old neighborhoods, Malleshwara in the city's northwest. Apart from the fact that the neighborhood got its name from the temple, the formidable lineup of stone snake gods ( nagas ) stationed on the temple premises is fascinating. They've been contributed by locals as offerings for the fulfillment of wishes or removal of curses. It was also important that any snakes, which may have been disturbed during the construction of the neighborhood, were placated to avoid harm to the residents. The snake is closely associated with Lord Shiva, who the temple is dedicated to (he wears one around his neck). The temple is open from 7 a.m. to noon and 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. It's particularly festive around the time of Maha Shivaratri (in late February or early March) when a week-long celebration takes place. Music and dance performances are regularly hosted at the temple too. Opposite it is the mysterious Dakshina Mukha Nandi Teertha Kalyani Temple, which was unearthed during construction in 1997. A steady stream of water falls on its idol but the source remains unknown.

Kote Venkataramana Temple

This 17th century temple is dedicated to Lord Venkateshwara and adjoins Tipu Sultan's Summer Palace, near Bangalore's landmark K.R. Market (known for having one of the largest flower markets in Asia). It was the royal chapel of Mysore's Wodeyar rulers, who bought the city from its Mughal occupiers and lived in a palace next to the temple. Tipu Sultan, a subsequent Islamic ruler of Mysore, replaced the palace with one of his own design but retained the temple. It's fortunate that he did so, as the thick stone pillar in front of it is said to have prevented him from being hit during the Third Anglo-Mysore War in 1791.

Jamia Masjid

Jamia Masjid, the city's most visually impressive mosque, stands at the end of Silver Jubilee Park close to K.R. Market. It was built in 1940, so it's not very old. However, it has elegant, timeless architecture and is made with white marble from Rajasthan. The mosque is dedicated to Tipu Sultan and a special urs celebration is held every year on the anniversary of his death. Its substantially-sized prayer hall has space for 10,000 devotees. There are also several frescoes relating to Tipu Sultan inside the shrine.

Dharmaraya Swamy Temple

In the same area, 800+ year old Dharmaraya Swamy Temple is one of the few temples in India that's dedicated to the Pandavas brothers and their consort Draupadi from the Hindu epic The Mahabharata. It's also significant for its iconic Karaga Festival, held in late March or April. During the festival, a temple priest dresses up as a woman and carries a big floral cone karaga pot through the city streets in procession. The pot symbolizes Draupadi, who is believed to return every year and bestow blessings.

Banashankari Temple

Banashankari Temple, on Kanakapura Road in south Bangalore, is intriguing more for its beliefs than its architecture or history. The temple was constructed 1915 by an ardent devotee of Goddess Banashankari, deity of the forest and form of Goddess Parvati (Lord Shiva's wife) who came to earth to kill a troublesome demon. What makes it unusual is that the deity is worshiped during an inauspicious time of the day (Rahukala). What's more, devotees offer prayers by lighting oil lamps made from hollowed out lemons. This happens predominantly on Tuesdays, Fridays and Sundays. It's believed that the goddess helps overcome life's hardships and challenges.

Ragigudda Sri Prasanna Anjaneyaswamy Temple

On a nearby stone hill in Jayanagar, Ragigudda Temple is a landmark temple with panoramic city views. The temple was built in 1969 and is dedicated to Lord Hanuman, the monkey god, who's worshiped by devotees facing ordeals and needing help to sort out their lives. It gets its name from a gigantic pile of ragi grain that apparently turned into the hill of stone. Lords Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva are said to have visited the spot and decided to reside there. They're depicted carved onto 32 foot tall monolithic blocks. The temple complex also has shrines of Ram, Sita and Lakshman. It's open from 8 a.m. to 11.30 a.m. and 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. during the week. On weekends it remains open until 12.30 p.m. in the afternoon and 9.00 p.m. at night. The Hanuman Jayanti festival is celebrated with great enthusiasm for 12 days, usually in April.

Shivoham Shiva Temple

The main attraction at Shivoham Shiva Temple, built in 1995, is its imposing 65 foot-tall statue of Lord Shiva. He sits in lotus position on a tiger skin against a recreated backdrop of his icy abode at Mount Kailash. The interior of the mountain is actually a walk-through exhibit that explains all about Lord Shiva. The temple's aim is to educate seekers and encourage devotees to engage in meaningful prayer. The priests discuss the significance of the prayers and pujas with people so they understand them, rather than just perform them. The temple is located next to Kempfort Mall on Old Airport Road. It's open 24 hours and is free to enter between 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. You'll need to purchase tickets for special entry and to participate in rituals though. Proceeds go to support the RVM Humanitarian Hospital and Home for the poor and destitute. However, some people feel that the temple is too commercialized with pervasive requests for donations. Believers' Day on Monday is the busiest time at the temple, with spiritual activities all day and live bhajans (devotional songs) at night from 10.45 p.m. to 11.45 p.m.

Shrungagiri Shanmukha

A high-tech temple with LED and laser lights? Yes! The six giant faces of Lord Shanmukha (son of Shiva and Parvati) and their embellished crystal dome are dazzlingly illuminated at night at this rather ostentatious temple complex. The temple is a branch of Sringeri Sharada Peetham, one of four Advaita Vedanta monasteries established by Adi Shankara at the end of the 8th century. Its head guru was inspired to build the temple on a barren hill in Bangalore's southwestern Rajarajeshwari Nagar. It was conceptualized by the neighborhood's developer, R. Arunachalam, and opened in 1995. There are actually three shrines in the complex. The others are dedicated to lords Shiva and Ganesh. Features include two enormous peacock statues at the entrance and R. Arunachalam's private collection of more than 1,000 Ganesh idols. The temple complex is open daily from 6.30 a.m. to 12.30 p.m. and 4.30 p.m. to 9 p.m. However, viewing of the deities isn't possible until after 10 a.m.

Hanuman Temple

Agara village, in south Bangalore, has a number of temples in the vicinity of the flyover. The most notable ones are the relatively recent Jagannath Temple , dedicated to Odisha's revered Lord Jagannath , and the Hanuman Temple next to it. The small Hanuman Temple is presided over by a towering 102 foot (31 meter) statue of Lord Hanuman, the tallest in the city. Although the temple is only open in the mornings and evenings, the statue can be seen at any time. 

Saint Mark's Cathedral

Bangalore's oldest church, Saint Mark's Cathedral is situated at the western end of MG Road near Cubbon Park. It was founded in 1808, construction was completed in 1812, and the Bishop of Calcutta consecrated the church in 1816. Its architecture was inspired by Saint Paul’s Cathedral in London and has dome, semi-circular chancel and roman arches. Successive renovation works added different architectural styles, woodwork, carvings and stained glass. 

Saint Mary's Basilica

The Best Places to Visit in Japan

The best places to visit in Japan shouldn’t be limited to Tokyo , Kyoto, and Osaka. While the popular triangle is certainly convenient—and memorable—for visitors, there’s so much more to the Land of the Rising Sun than these three major cities. In fact, Japan’s true beauty lies in the rural destinations that make up the majority of the country, along with secondary and tertiary metropolises that offer a less, shall we say, traveled opportunity to view the culture.

Once you’ve ventured away from the popular trio, you’ll find yourself craving for more. Alluring landscapes that transform with the seasons, small towns embalmed in the past, the healing powers of natural wonders, and highly regional cuisine are just the tip of the iceberg. Where to start? Well, really, anywhere. Randomly point to a town on a map and you’ll probably fall in love. But if that’s too intimidating, here are 10 of the best places to visit in Japan that you probably haven’t heard of yet.

The Nakasendo Trail

Thanks to the recent FX hit Shōgun , interest in feudal Japan has reached an all-time high. Walk back in time on the Nakasendo Trail, a 17th-century route that samurai once used to travel between Kyoto and present-day Tokyo. Along the route, several well-preserved post towns offer a glimpse back into the Edo Period, and majestic mountain landscapes serve as the backdrop to traditional timber buildings and cobblestone roads. Two of the most popular and picturesque post towns are Magome and Tsumago, but it’s also worth venturing to some of the others like Narai and Kiso-Fukushima. Hiking at least a section of the route is the best way to get a sense of this piece of history. You can visit centuries-old rest stops for tea—or even umeshu (plum wine)—along the way. If you want to take a more leisurely approach, a local train also stops at some of these idyllic villages.

Where to stay:

Opened in 2021, Byaku Narai is the only luxury boutique hotel that’s set directly along the Nakasendo Trail. Spread across four meticulously restored machiya (traditional wood homes) in its namesake town, you’ll find 16 individually designed rooms with sumptuous touches like self-filling tubs or open-air baths, locally made lacquerware, and spacious courtyards with manicured gardens. The on-site Kura restaurant is also not to be missed, with a menu overseen by chef Zaiyu Hasegawa of accolade-decorated Den in Tokyo and dishes that highlight the abundance of the Kiso Valley. If you’re traveling with a larger group and looking for an exclusive-use villa that includes experiences and a private chef, Zenagi , located in a rural area of Nagiso, can accommodate up to 12 guests.

Hokkaido , Japan’s northernmost island, is well regarded for its exemplary produce, dairy, seafood, and beef. In other words, expect phenomenal food. Sapporo, the isle’s capital, is arguably one of the most underrated major cities in the country. Yes, this is where the popular Japanese premium lager was founded, but there’s more to Sapporo than its beer. Pay a visit to Sapporo Art Park , one of the country’s most extraordinary outdoor institutions for contemporary sculptures, or the Sapporo Snow Festival, an annual weeklong event featuring dozens of snow and ice sculptures, including several large-scale installations. And, it’s worth mentioning again that you’ll have some of your most memorable bites here, from creamy soft serves to succulent king crab. Be prepared for lots of powder in the winter (it’s the second snowiest city in the world), but for those who are smart enough to come during the summer, Hokkaido is a nice break from the rest of Japan’s humid climate; there are several picturesque flower fields near Sapporo that make for gorgeous day trips.

Truth be told, up until recently, Sapporo was sort of a dead zone for hotel lovers. But that started to change in 2020 when Onsen Ryokan Yuen Sapporo opened. A modern take on traditional Japanese inns, the property offers well-appointed rooms, minimalist interiors, and hot spring facilities. This year also saw the arrival of Sapporo Stream Hotel —primely situated in the heart of the city’s entertainment district, Suskino—and Hotel Sosei Sapporo , an M Gallery property that’s part of French hospitality group Accor.

Sandwiched between Honshu and Shikoku in the Seto Inland Sea are a string of islets known as Japan’s art islands. The most popular—largely thanks to Yayoi Kusama’s yellow Pumpkin —is Naoshima. In addition to the artist’s iconic gourd-shaped sculpture by the water, this is where you’ll also find two of the country’s most prized contemporary art institutions, Benesse House Museum and Chichu Art Museum . There are also several other venues worth visiting, including one dedicated to renowned Japanese architect Tadao Ando, who designed both Benesse House and Chichu, as well as Art House Project, a collection of abandoned homes that have been restored and transformed into installations by various Japanese artists.

While Benesse House doubles as a hotel, one of the hottest hotels in the country right now is Naoshima Ryokan Roka . The relatively new, all-suite ryokan is the first of its kind on the island. Enjoy chic, minimalist digs with open-air baths and the property’s own collection of contemporary art by emerging talents spread throughout the grounds.

About two and a half hours from Kyoto, Kinosaki is an onsen town famed for its seven tattoo-friendly hot springs (typically, those bearing ink are forbidden from entering these shared facilities due to the association with yakuza). When you arrive, it feels like you’ve been transported back in time: built along a willow-lined river, stone bridges connect the split roads and buildings retain their centuries-old architecture. Visitors are highly encouraged to walk about in a yukata (a casual version of a kimono) and geta (wooden flip-flops) shoes—whether they’re shopping at the various souvenir stores or onsen -hopping. It’s the perfect place to unwind after you’ve had a busy few days exploring some of Japan’s other popular destinations.

Founded in 1860, Nishimuraya Honkan is widely recognized as one of the country’s best traditional ryokans . It boasts 32 archetypal rooms with tatami mat flooring, shoji screens, and futon bedding; in-room kaiseki (a traditional multi-course meal) experiences; and a beautifully manicured garden with a small koi pond. The property offers its own public baths, but if you’re shy and prefer a private option, its sister hotel just down the street has you covered.

Craving small town energy? Tucked away in the mountains of Gifu Prefecture, Takayama is home to one of Japan’s most meticulously preserved old towns. Known as Sanmachi, the narrow streets are lined with historic wooden buildings dating back to the Edo Period. Once the dwellings of merchants and craftsmen, many have turned into souvenir shops and stalls selling the region’s delicacy, Hida beef (a type of Wagyu), with a few centuries-old sake breweries peppered throughout. While you’re here, head over to Hida no Sato, an open-air museum showcasing dozens of traditional homes that were built in the Edo Period, or make it a launching point for a day trip to Shirakawa-go, a quaint village with wood-beamed gassho-zukuri farmhouses that has been dubbed a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Trade traditional accommodations for an overnight stay in a Buddhist temple at Temple Hotel Zenkoji . The five rooms are simple, but offer a surprising mix of old and new: tatami mat flooring and futons meet modern bathrooms complete with a Toto bidet. Slide open the shoji screens to reveal a beautiful garden and rise early for morning meditation with the resident monk.

If a national park , UNESCO World Heritage Site, mountain landscapes, and serene lake are on your travel list, you can tick them all off with one visit to Nikko. This town is most famous for the ornate and gilded 17th-century Toshogu Shrine built in honor of the founder of the Tokugawa Shogunate. But beyond this piece of UNESCO-status history, Nikko offers a scenic escape for those looking for respite from the neon lights of Tokyo. Head further into the national park and you’ll find hot springs, waterfalls, and Lake Chuzenji, Japan’s highest natural lake. Hike along its 15.5-mile circumference or—for something a little more challenging—summit Mount Nantai, a trek that some deem more rewarding than climbing Mount Fuji.

Nikko is an easy day trip from Tokyo , but the Ritz-Carlton, Nikko makes a strong case for staying a night or two. A majority of the sumptuous rooms look out to Lake Chuzenji, and there’s even a lake house-style restaurant. The hotel offers fantastic programming that runs the gamut from outdoor adventures to cultural activities, including zazen sessions with a monk at the nearby temple and hands-on experience with Nikko-bori wood carving. Unwind at the onsen in your free time and enjoy a nightcap at the bar where you’ll find an extensive range of whiskies from all over the country.

One could argue that every city in Japan is a food destination , but Fukuoka is truly the epitome of a culinary wonderland. For starters, the capital of Kyushu Island is the birthplace of tonkotsu ramen—the unctuous and creamy pork bone-based broth that’s often associated with the noodle dish—and is where ramen stalwarts Ichiran and Ippudo first started. It’s also a go-to spot for high-quality mentaiko (spicy pollock roe), a local delicacy. To top it all off, it’s the only place in Japan that truly has a street food culture thanks to its unique yatai food stalls. These temporary stands pop up in the evenings across the city and serve a variety of comfort foods until well after midnight when they’re broken down and tucked away ahead of sunrise. Unlike typical grab-and-go street food stalls, these have built-in, counter-esque seating so that you can plop down and enjoy your meal with a drink in hand.

When the Ritz-Carlton, Fukuoka opened last year, it marked the arrival of the city’s first true luxury hotel. Set in the vibrant district of Tenjin, a bevy of shops and restaurants are just steps away from comfortable, modern digs.

Known as one of the country’s most sought-after hot springs destinations, the seaside town of Beppu just southeast of Fukuoka is where you go to relax and soak in mineral-rich waters. What sets Beppu apart from every other onsen town? In addition to having the highest number of onsen sources in Japan, it’s famed for its eight “hells”—distinct-looking hot springs that are too hot to bathe. (Chinoike Jigoku, for example, has a red hue due to the iron oxide–dense mud.) Tour the circuit to see the unmatched geological diversity for yourself and enjoy the unique practice of cooking food over the steam produced by these thermal sites.

Hugging a bluff overlooking the city, ANA InterContinental Beppu Resort & Spa affords picture-perfect panoramic vistas from just about every angle of the property. Dip into your en-suite onsen on the balcony and watch as plumes of steam billow up from the ground. If you prefer to be closer to town and the bay, Kai Beppu is in the thick of the action.

About an hour train ride from Tokyo Station, Atami is an easy day trip or add-on to any Tokyo itinerary. The coastal city on the Izu Peninsula has long been a popular resort destination for those seeking a break from the frenetic city thanks to its abundance of hot springs and a tropical sandy beach. It’s also home to some of the earliest blooming plum trees in Japan, affording visitors the chance to admire delicate pink flowers as soon as January ahead of spring’s busy cherry blossom season . And while most places in Japan limit fireworks to summer, Atami puts on sky-illuminating displays all year round; they’re best viewed from the namesake castle overlooking the city.

While there are plenty of great hotels in Atami, take this overnight opportunity to visit an off-the-beaten-path locale. Just under an hour away, the quaint port city of Numazu is most known for the anime Love Live! Sunshine!! as well as its production of dried Japanese horse mackerel which is sold in a small but lively morning market. It’s also in Numazu that you’ll find Numazu Club , a 1913 teahouse-turned-WWII refuge-turned-restaurant-turned-members club-turned-hotel. It has quite the past and is now a hidden gem ensconced in a verdant garden with a mix of just eight Japanese- and Western-style rooms that feature traditional elements in a modern space. After a busy day, enjoy a meal of upscale Chinese fare in the historic teahouse followed by a relaxing soak in the spa’s open-air bath.

Noboribetsu

In case you haven’t noticed by now, hot springs are Japan’s pinnacle of relaxation and wellness. If you, too, have become a fan of these mineral-rich waters, a visit to Noboribetsu is in order. Hokkaido’s most popular onsen town is located between Sapporo and Hakodate, making it an ideal layover between the two cities. The main attraction here is Jigokudani. Literally translating to “hell valley,” the moniker alludes to the hot steam vents that rise from volcanic land. Hiking trails wind through the valley, with the most popular leading up to Oyunuma, a sulfurous pond surrounded by a lush forest with a river that doubles as a foot bath for trekkers. The best time to visit is in autumn, when the fall foliage beautifully contrasts the blue water. (In the winter, many paths may be closed due to snow and treacherously icy conditions.)

Another opportunity for a two-in-one deal, Shiraoi is just five train stops away from Noboribetsu. In this small town, you’ll find Upopoy National Ainu Museum and Park , an institution dedicated to educating visitors on Hokkaido’s indigenous people. Just around the corner is Kai Poroto , a recently opened onsen hotel on the banks of its namesake lake. The retreat pays homage to Ainu culture with its cone-shaped bathhouses inspired by its traditional architecture, activities that celebrate the Ainu’s connection with nature, and kaiseki meals inspired by local flavors and techniques.
