Gavi Gangadeshwara Cave Temple

Bengaluru cave temple known for stone pillars and its Makara Sankranti sun alignment

Gavi Gangadeshwara Cave Temple is one of Bengaluru's more atmospheric old temples, cut into rock and associated with the city's founder Kempe Gowda. Four monolithic pillars stand outside, while the shrine is best known for a Makara Sankranti alignment, when sunlight reaches the Shiva idol. It is a rewarding stop if you want a temple with a story rather than only a busy prayer hall.
