Lord Vishnu was pleased by his penance and informed the sage to install his Divya vigraham for people to worship.

It was also mentioned that all should not forget the “Anthima Smruthi” at the time of death to acheive “Paramapada Mooksham”.

So the moola vigraham was installed at a high place so that it can receive the radiance of cosmic energy and radiate in all eight directions at all times.

The temple is built in such a way that it is at high place and the sun rays fall on the on the main deity at sunrise.

Sugreeva venkateshwara temple, Bangalore – An ancient and unknown temple of Bangalore

You must have heard of Sugreeva, the monkey king from Ramayana. But do you know that there is a temple dedicated to him in namma Bengaluru? I am talking about Sugreeva venkateshwara temple !

What is unique about Sugreeva venkateshwara temple

This temple is dedicated to one of the very important character of Ramayana, that is Monkey king Sugreeva. And hence this temple holds a great religious importance.

Sugreeva venkateshwara temple, Bangalore

As per legend Sugreeva and is army of monkeys assisted Lord Rama during the Lanka war where Lord Rama defeated and killed the demon king Ravana.

But the temple is very unique in the sense that one it is dedicated to Sugreeva as I said before, but also it has idols of both Sugreeva and Lord Venkateshwara ( Lord Vishnu ).

In this temple, there are 2 idols with idol of Sugreeva with folded hands. This idol faces the idol of Lord Venkateshwara.

A cursory glance would lead one to believe that the idol is that of Lord Hanuman, but a closer examination reveals that there are two fangs protruding from the mouth, which is the main difference between this idol and Lord Hanuman’s idol.

The inner shrine, which is located on the Balepet main road, houses a lovely deity of Lord Venkateshwara on a pedestal.

Sugreeva’s six-foot-tall idol bears a striking resemblance to Hanuman. The only thing that distinguishes it from Hanuman are the large fangs on either side of the mouth.

In two distinct temples built for them, Lord Venkateshwara and Sugreeva face each other.

Lord Venkateshwara is consecrated in the temple facing the smaller door and this also I find very unique.

According to the local legends, the Sugreeva’s statue was submerged in the Kempambudhi tank, and one of the devotees had a dream telling him to raise it from the water and install it in the temple.

According to locals, Kempegowda-I got this temple constructed for the Uppara community.

Where is Sugreeva venkateshwara temple Bangalore located ?

The temple is located in the busy locality of Balepet Main Road which is in the Majestic area of Bangalore.

Legend behind shri Kodandarama Temple

As per local legend , Lord Rama subdued  bhagwan Parshuram at this place of Hiremaglur.

This is probably the only idol where you see Ma Sita on the right hand side of Lord Rama.

Ramadevara Betta

Ramadevara Betta – Ancient Rama temple from Ramayana times – Ramanagara Hills

A sacred hill located at 50 kms from Bangalore, known as Ramadevara Betta has this ancient temple called as Lord Pattabhirama temple.

It is said that the idol of Lord Rama exists here from the times of Ramayan and the idol was installed here by no other than the monkey king – Sugreeva. Hence this place is called as Ramadevara Betta.

Ramadevara Betta Location ( Ramanagara Hills )

Ramadevara Betta means Ramadevara hill and the hill gets its name from Lord Rama and hence the village at the foot hills is known as Ramanagara.

But, Ramanagara is also famous for two other things. Ramanagara Hills is famous for

  • Ramanagara is known as silk city of India and this area id famous for silk production
  • And Ramanagara Hills – this place also got its fame due to the film Sholay. The village depicted in movie Sholay is at this foot hills and the movie’s scene were shot on these hills.

But let us more concentrate on the history of Ramadevara Betta ( Ramanagara Hills )

Legend of Lord Pattabhirama at Ramadevara Betta

There are 2 stories which talk about this place.

The end of Sukhasura

As per one of the stories, after defeating Ravana, Lord Rama, along with Ma Sita and Lakshmana, returned to Ayodhya.

A grand ceremony was held in Ayodhya after Lord Rama returned to Ayodhya.

Lord Rama was king of Ayodhya and a grand celebration took place. The monkey king sugreeva was also present there and saw Lord Rama sitting on the throne with Ma Sita on one side and Lord Hanuman and Lakshman standing on other side.

Sugreeva wished that he could capture this moment and worship lord Rama in king form throughout and hence he got the statue of his diety lord Ram carved in a stone with Ma Sita on the left hand side and Lakshman and Hanuman on the other side.

While taking this idol back to his Kingdom Kishkindha, when he reached this place, he was attacked by a demon named Sukhasura and a strong fight erupted between them. To fight the demon Sugreev had to keep the idol on the ground.

In the fight , Sukhsura was defeated, but after defeating Sukhasura when Sugreev tried to lift the idol, it did not move.

After some time a akashwani was heard ( accouncement from sky) that Lord Wished to be here. Hearing this Sugreeva installed the idol here and since then this place is called as Ramanagara and the hills is called as Ramadevara Betta and Lord Ram is called as Lord Pattabhirama.

End of Kakasura

As per another legend, during their exile, Lord Rama and Ma Sita visited this place and Lord Ram was resting, while Ma Sita was sitting next to him.

Lord Ram was in sleep when the king of crows name as Kakasura attacked Ma Sita. Not wanting to disturb Lord Rama, Ma Sita tolerated the pain. But a drop of her blood fell on Lord Rama.

This disturbed Lord Rama and he woke up. Seeing the wound of Ma Sita, he got very angry. He got some darbha grass and made a arrow out of it and shoot it on Kakasura.

Kakasura got scared and approached Lord Bramha and Lord Shiva for help. But they advised Kakasura to go back to Lord Rama and ask for his forgiveness as he only has the power to stop this arrow.

Kakasura then approached Lord Ram and asked for forgiveness. Lord Rama, forgave the crow, however he asked the crow to sacrifice a part of his body to the arrow to stop it.

Kakasura sacrificed his left eye and it is said that since then all the crows cannot see from left eye.

As per local legend from that time , no crow has been seen in this region.

I was fortunate enough to visit this temple this weekend.

Attibele is suburb of Bangalore. Located on Bangalore Hosur highway, this place has got superb connectivity from Bangalore and connects Bangalore to Anekal and further to place like Thally in Tamil Nadu.

Anekal, itself is home to many important temples, which I will write more about latter.

The temple I am going to show today is a newly renovated temple. Painted in full golden color this temples looks so impressive that you are not going to miss it if you are crossing Attibele town.

This temple complex is actually a big one and features Lord Hanuman temple, Devi temple and Sri Shani temple.

As I mentioned before the temple premises is quite big. There is a good parking place inside the premises. On some special occassions I ahve seen a good riush there, but in that case there are good options to park your vehicle outside.

Over all it is a very calm and quite place, though its on the main road. If you are living in Bangalore, this can be a good half a day trip for you.

I understand that the temple itslef is quite old, but has been renoavted recenlty and hence looks new.
