Yoganandeeshwara Hillock temple , Nandi Hills - Bangalore weekends

In this post , we share our visit experience to one of the ancient temples of Karnataka  - The YogaNandeeshwara temple at Nandi Grama - which is about 65 kms from city center.
 
It is believed the temples "Bhoga" and "Yoga" nandishwara represent the life stages of Lord Shiva while Yoga represents the renunciation stage of Shiva. We have covered Bhoganandeeshwara temple in our earlier article

 This temple believed to be about 1300 years old is located on top of the Nandi Hills i.e the final destination of the Nandi hills path leads here and is the highest point. Devotees after visiting Bhoganandeeshwara temple visit here. From ground level the 8 km curvy road which is well maintained  leads to this hill top spot. The drive route is awesome with landscapes and scenic spots.

Anjaneya Swamy temple , Muthathi - Bangalore Weekend destinations

In this post , we cover one of our awesome weekend trips to Anjaneya Swamy temple at Muthathi about 100kms from Bangalore near Kanakapura.

Our team wanted to explore the scenic nature spots near Kanakapura district which is about 50kms from Bangalore. They started their journey from Bangalore , reached Kanakapura in an hour along the NH209 highway , had a great breakfast at Srinivasa Hotel near Kanakapura Circle. Then we headed towards Muthathi Paadhare Hanuman temple via Saathanur route which is about 16 kms from the highway. After visiting this temple , we headed further towards the river side Anjaneya Swamy temple which is about 8 kms from this spot. 


Forest road leading to Muthathi Anjaneya temple

Hope you have read through our previous article on Paadhare Hanuman temple at this spot. The next 8 km trip was awesome with further lush green land spaces . As we moved further , roads became narrow , steep and sharp turns which added more joy to our adventurous ride.

Monkeys on road in forest

As we almost reached near the temple , we were greeted by Cauvery river side awesome landscape . Many tourists after visiting the temple visit here in families , arrange a bar-b-q kind of setup , prepare food and enjoy their time. Fishing is banned by Government in this region . There were caution boards put up indicating to beware of whirl pools in the river which may not be safe for swimming. 

Riverside View near Muthathi Anjaneya temple


Muthathi Anjaneya temple entrance

We visited the Anjaneya temple where Lord Hanuman Idol was consecrated. Opposite to which was Kala Bhairava and Basaveshwara temples. There is a belief among the locality people that one who worships the god with Bhakthi is sure of fulfilling his desires.  Outside the temple is a bazaar street where we found many hawker shops selling Sweets , fruits , food items etc . Many devotees visited here conducted poojas for their vehicles. Many shops were renting necessary utensils , fire wood etc required for families who used to prepare bar-b-q at the spot. 
 
There is a story that during Ramayana Sita when taking bath near Kaveri river Banks missed her nose pin which got lost in the river. Sita devi was very fond of same which everyone started searching . Hanuman was able to search and return back to Sita after which this place finds its name.

This is the only spot after the 24 km drive where we found shops. So we recommend you carry sufficient food and fuel stuffs while exploring this awesome forest. Mobile signals are completely off in this region.

Once we crossed the villages near Saathanur enjoying the scenic beauty , we were greeted by the arch of Cauvery Wildlife Sanctuary where there was a check post. Few forest police men took a vigil at all the vehicles . Beware not to carry any hot drinks as it is strictly prohibited inside and one may bear a huge amount of fine if found caught cheating. We made an entry in the log book and passed by the gate.

Cauvery Wildlife Sanctuary Check post
Once we passed the gate , we were right inside the forest area greeted by monkey family all along the road which were very decent unlike street monkeys !! We noticed few forest pigs and Mongoose on the way . This place is known for Elephants , but we couldn't spot them. Surrounded by lust green all long the path , it was a treat driving inside the forest area.


Muthathi Paadhare Hanuman Temple Road

Roads were just well good for the travel. We enjoyed being at 2nd and 3rd gear all along. After passing through about 18 kms inside the forest , we reached the spot - Paadhare Hanuman temple. There is a belief at this spot Lord Hanuman foot steps were found. There is a Hanuman idol of about 3 feet high and attracts the visitors passing by. This temple is open from morning 8 AM to evening 6 PM on weekends. We recommend visitors to travel here during weekends . There is another Hanuman temple at Muthathi village which we shall cover in a separate post.

Muthathi Paadhare Hanuman Temple Monkeys
Although there is one bus travelling to Muthathi via this forest path, auto rickshaws were spotted though less frequent carrying passengers along the path. Forest seemed to be very safe for the traveler.
