Sri Kalika Durga Parameshwari Temple, Vidyaranyapura

Recently I had been to Vidyaranpura to visit Sri Kalika Durga Parameshwari Temple. Vidyaranpura is now one among the top housing localities of Bangalore which was just a small housing layout few years back. Sri Kalika Durga Parameshwari temple at Vidayaranyapura has been one of the old temples of Bangalore attracting devotees from many places.

108 feet Gopuram of temple 

The temple has the tall Gopuram of 108 feet with artistic design and the greenery of tree on either sides of temple entrance has made it an peaceful place. Temple has Ganesha, Sharabeshwara, Devasana, Anjaneya, Goddess Saraswathi and Dakshina Murthy along with the other avatars of Goddess Durga.

Temple also has Yakshini, to which the chits are tied by the devotees with request to fulfil their wishes. It is being another temple in Bangalore having Medhaguru Dakshina Murthy apart from Gavi Gangadhareshwara temple. Special poojas are offered to Goddess on festivals and every tuesday.

Devotees offer garland made of lemons and saree to fulfill their wishes. In midst of Bangalore traffic and busy schedule visiting this temple would be a place of tranquil. Temple is near to Vidyaranyapura main bus stop and can be easily reached.
