Temple Specialties:
65-feet-tall Shiva Statue:
The Shiv Mandir, located
in the heart of Bangalore, is abode to the 65-feet-tall Shiva statue. Seated in
a Yogic posture, the deity is a towering symbol of faith. Lakhs of devotees
throng the temple to experience God, especially on festive days. The majestic
Lord, in a lotus position, sits in a scenic spot, with the backdrop of Mount Kailash and
the Ganges flowing from the Lord's matted locks. The sense
of tranquility that one can experience by looking at the 65-feet marvel, in the
Himalaya, with the blue sky moving above, is overpowering. The look on Lord Shiva's face
is so serene that it calms anyone who looks into his eyes. The positive energy
that exists in the place is overwhelming. To stand beneath the powerful God and
surrender oneself completely is a positively exuberating feeling one must
experience.
32-feet-tall Ganesh Statue:
Upholding the tradition of worshipping Lord Ganesh before all endeavors, the 32-feet-tall Vignaharan Ganesh is the first deity you will be offering prayers to at the temple. The white statue of the Vignaharan Ganapati is seated first in your path of pilgrimage at the Shiv Mandir, blessing you with his right hand and a modak in his left hand.
Navagraha Temple:
This place is called “God's very own Universe,” as it consists
of images of the powers of the 9 planets that rule our fate. As you
do the parikramas or circumambulate the Navagraha, you can offer prayers.
Performing Shani puja here can ensurewealth and prosperity for your family.
Pratyaksh Ling:
The Pratyaksh Ling is hidden under the
sacred waters of theMansarovar Lake and appears only during the aarti in the morning, evening, and
midnight. After the aarti is over, the Ling disappears! This symbolic gesture
tells us that God's miracles are mystical and everything happens only at the
right time as per His wish. This implication suggests us to have Faith because
God can turn the impossible into possible. The aarti itself is a special
blessing, but praying to the Pratyaksh Ling is a symbolic prayer to God's greatness, acknowledging the fact that God
will make the unexpected happen.
