A beautiful temple near main road. Idols are so beautifully designed and decorated that you can't keep your eyes off them. But one issue is that you can't stay for too long as you will be removed because of the croud. Photography wasn't allowed so i couldn't capture the beauty.A Another thing is that some uploaded temple in a pond which i didn't see hope its misguided.

Went around 6.35 am.. No wait time.. aarti was done.. Mobile phone allowed but no photography Everything completed in 20 minutes.. Lots of wrong review here due to confusion with tirupati temple in andra.. please not this is its branch and here there no not much wait for darsan..

Just say please visit for only prayer. We go through by steps 2500 little hard but when govinda called you no one can stop you.

I have been a few times to this temple of lord vishnu. Its a quiet and small temple with a straightforward entry to the holy sanctum of lord vishnu and goddess lakshmi. Always had a good darshan at this temple. Temple management and volunteers manage the devotees to move in a orderly manner for all to get the lord's darshan right in front of him as shown in photo attached. A must visit to this great and superb temple.

These stars are not enough and nor my words for Tirumala devastanam om namo Venketeshwaraya ❤️🪷🙏🏻 our lord Perumal and japali what a blessing and divine place

Arulmigu Vadapalani Andavar Temple) is one of the most famous temples in Chennai.Temple is Known for granting success in exams, marriages, and career. Devotees believe Murugan here blesses those who sincerely pray with their wishes fulfilled. Temple was built around 19th century by Annaswami Nayakar, a devotee of Murugan who first worshipped a small picture of the Lord and later built the temple.Over time, the temple grew in prominence and is now one of the busiest temples in Chennai.The main deity is in a standing posture with one hand raised in blessing.There are shrines for other deities like Vinayagar, Shiva, Parvati, and other. Many couples choose to get married here because of the temple’s reputation for blessing marriages. Well maintained places in and around. You will get the good, positive vibrations once you entered the temple. We have visited during Navratri season the Golu arrangements and cultural performances were very good.

Vadapalani Murugan Temple is always a divine and peaceful place. The moment you enter, you feel a positive vibration. The temple is very well maintained and the gopuram looks beautiful with detailed carvings. Even on busy days, the queues are managed well. Staff are polite, and the overall atmosphere is calm and spiritual. A perfect place for devotion and blessings in the heart of Chennai. Truly a must-visit temple.”

I visited this temple around 10:30 AM on a Thursday, and it was quite busy, which shows how much devotion people here have. Just before the main entrance, I noticed a small chapel stand, open for free to visitors. Inside the temple, there are multiple idols of different gods—it’s not dedicated to just one deity. The sculptures and architecture are truly impressive, reflecting the temple’s rich heritage, as it is said to have been constructed around the 8th century. I personally prefer old temples, and this one stands out with its intricate carvings and spiritual atmosphere. There is also a temple pond within the premises, which I couldn’t visit this time, but it adds to the traditional charm. For anyone interested in experiencing ancient temples with great sculptures and strong cultural significance, this temple is a must-visit. Accessibility is also convenient, as the Vadapalani Metro Station is nearby, making it easy for commuters.

Visited Arulmigu Vadapalani Murugan Temple for the first time and had a truly peaceful and divine experience. The atmosphere was serene, the architecture beautiful, and the spiritual energy uplifting. A must-visit for anyone seeking calm and blessings in the heart of Chennai.

Vadapalani Andavar Temple is a Hindu temple dedicated to Lord Muruga. It is located in Vadapalani, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India. It is around 25 kms from Tambaram. The Moolavar (main deity) resembles the Palani temple idol and is in standing position.The temple courtyard houses several Sannidhis including that of Varasiddhi Vinayaka, Chokkanathar, Meenakshi Amman, Kali, Bhairava, Shanmuga with Valli and Deivanai. Some Divine Events have been described beautifully on the walls.The temple tank is in front of the temple.Only in this temple, one can see Murugan wearing footwear, a symbol that denotes shedding of arrogance. He is seen in a standing pose with his left foot forward to indicate he is in a rush to help his devotees.

A serene and divine temple to visit in Chennai. The peaceful and positive atmosphere here truly helps you feel calm and centered. The temple is well-maintained and usually not crowded on weekdays, making it an ideal place to sit, pray, and unwind. Definitely a must-visit if you’re nearby or seeking a spiritual break in the city.

ஆறுமுகம் அருளிடம் அனுதினமும் ஏறுமுகம்... Very very nice place, God Muruga is very clear visible in this temple. Place maintained very well. During my visit time Heavy rain. After rain immediately Temple staff cleared the rain drop waters inside the temple. Nice place to visit with family, friends and kids

Arignar Anna Zoological Park (Vandalur Zoo) - a day well spent! I visited this sprawling zoo with my family, and we had a roaring time (pun intended). The highlight was definitely the Bengal tiger- those piercing eyes and majestic stripes left us in awe. We also spotted a rare white tiger, which was a treat. The lion enclosure was impressive, with the kings of the savannah lazing in the sun. The Indian bears were adorable, playing around. The giraffes were another favorite, with their long necks and gentle eyes. We enjoyed watching them roam. The peacocks were a sight to behold, spreading their vibrant feathers in a stunning display. The cassowari, with their unique casques, were an interesting sight. The zoo is spread over a vast area, with plenty of greenery and naturalistic enclosures. It's a great place to spend a day with family and learn about wildlife conservation. Overall, a fun and educational experience! 4.5/5 stars. Highly recommended for families and wildlife enthusiasts!

Visited Arignar Anna Zoological Park (Vandalur Zoo) recently and it was an amazing experience! The zoo is huge, very well maintained, and has a great variety of animals. We really enjoyed the lion safari and deer safari totally worth it! 🦁 🦌 Yes, the ticket prices felt a bit on the higher side, but considering the size and upkeep of the zoo, it's completely justified. A perfect place to spend a day with family or friends. Full paisa wasool experience! 👍🏻 ✨✨

The Vandalur zoo is a very vast area. The number of animals, when we went with family during a weekday, were less. I understand that this is a very old zoo but it is not properly maintained. There are not many indications about which way we have to go (if you are planning to take the cycles or go by walk). The is a tour available in buggy but they just drive through. Many animals shelters are poorly maintained. There is only one restaurant which provides food during lunch. The quality is questionable, but no other choice. Own food also is not allowed inside. Get plenty of water if you are walking in the zoo. There are kiosks were water bottles are available but we need to return them intact (not to crushed, no stickers to be removed, etc) if we need to get the deposit amount for the water bottles. Again hygiene of these water bottles is questionable. One good use of technology is in buying tickets. Instead of waiting in queues to buy tickets, we can scan QR code to get the tickets in WhatsApp.

A great zoo to visit!!! Entry ticket: 200/person Electric vehicle fees: 150/person Deer and Lion safari: 150/person A great zoo with lots of animals. Each animal has ample space for roaming around owing to large enclosures. There are toilets and drinking water at regular intervals of time. The no plastic policy is also highly recommendable, especially since there are free animals like deer roaming around the park. Modes of travel inside the park: 1. Walking (will take around 4 hours to walk around the whole park) 2. Cycles 3. E-bike 4. E-carts (park is divided into zones. The cart will take you from entrance to first zone and the let you off. You can roam around till whenever you need and the go to the pickup point. The e-carts will pick you from this pickup point and transfer you to the next point and so on. Also note that this mode of travel will not cover all animals, especially those that are between zones during transit). There are also small shops selling cold as well as hot drinks and snacks. I recommend going to the safari after visiting the zoo because the safari bus is air conditioned and helps you cool off a bit before leaving the park. However, the safari was not as good. There were three lions near an enclosure and some deer.

Visited Vandalur Zoo recently and had a great overall experience — the place is well-maintained, clean, and perfect for a family outing. However, a few things can be improved. Electric cycles are very limited, especially on weekends — late comers won’t get any, which is disappointing. Also, there is no online booking option for cycles, battery cars, or safari tickets, which causes unnecessary waiting. The safari experience itself can be better with more animals added to make it feel fuller and more exciting.

It's a great place to visit with your kids. We get to see different animals and birds. Green everywhere and you get to enjoy the fresh Air. They have a nice park where the kids get to enjoy the different types of slides and rope climbing.

Off season not crowded with birds But had a good time walking along with binoculars for 50 rupees rent Enjoyed fresh guava fruits and tender coconut Enjoyed nature away from city Bird lovers can try October to February

Vedanthangal Bird Sanctuary, nestled in the Madurantakam taluk of Tamil Nadu, represents one of India's oldest and most celebrated wildlife sanctuaries. The name 'Vedanthangal' itself reflects its historic roots as a ‘hunter’s hamlet’, with the landscape evolving over centuries from a favored hunting ground to a nature sanctuary of international importance. Originating in the 18th century, it was declared a protected area under British colonial administration and today stands recognized as a Ramsar wetland, affirming its significance on a global stage for avian biodiversity. Upon arriving at Vedanthangal, visitors are greeted by an expansive and picturesque wetland, enveloped in greenery and bordered by a carefully maintained pathway that traces the edge of the lake. The sanctuary covers around 74 acres, and its tranquil ambiance is frequently punctuated by the calls of thousands of birds. With over 40,000 birds recorded during the migratory season, the site transforms each year into a living mosaic as flocks descend from as far away as Siberia, Australia, Canada, and Sri Lanka. Birdwatchers and nature lovers are treated to close-up views of painted storks, open-billed storks, spoonbills, herons, egrets, and pelicans, among others. The sanctuary’s unique draw is its accessibility—multiple watchtowers and viewing platforms overlook the breeding grounds and water bodies, making bird observation a delight even for casual visitors. The sanctuary experience is both educational and immersive. Near the entrance, a cool hall equipped with video displays narrates the stories and characteristics of hundreds of species that frequent the sanctuary. Facilities are focused on convenience with restrooms, clean drinking water, ample parking, and the ability to hire binoculars for closer views of nesting birds. There’s no restaurant inside, but the serenity of the setting more than compensates, encouraging visitors to linger and absorb the natural spectacle. Visiting Vedanthangal is best from November to March, when the migratory season is at its peak and birds are most active in breeding and nest-building. The sanctuary’s commitment to conservation and eco-tourism is evident in its strict guidelines, maintaining quiet, respecting wildlife, and promoting sustainable visitor practices. Dedicated to the well-being of both its feathered guests and human visitors, Vedanthangal stands not only as a haven for birds but also as a sanctuary for those seeking peace, beauty, and a deeper connection with nature.

The bird sanctuary is a small one not much to expect. There were lot of species of birds. They had small information center to know about the bird which comes to visit. The watch tower is a must try the incharge person shared lot about the birds. Its best to carry food to the place there is not a proper restaurant nearby. The place atmosphere is very nice with lot of trees and sitting bench.

Vedanthangal Bird Sanctuary is a 30-hectare protected Ramsar wetland that hosts huge numbers of birds particularly during the migratory season. Species that can be seen in great numbers include Painted Stork, Asian Openbill, Oriental Darter, Black-headed Ibis, Spot-billed Pelican, and other waterfowl. Various other bird species can be seen in the surrounding trees and shrubs. The best time to visit this sanctuary is from November to March.

A good place to visit for bird watching . You can spend a few hours there. Rent a binoculars from the local people. Open parking is available. Entry ticket is 10rs, for mobile phone 50rs.

A great place to see wetland birds like pelicans, storks, oriental darters, cormorants and also land based birds like spotted owls, rufous treepies and many more. Best time to visit is early in the morning when you can get to watch the feeding patterns of the birds.

Very near and clean place. Maintained very well. When we enter the place we can heard full of bird chirping. We must keep change for buying tickets. No restriction. Snacks allowed. Entry for adults ₹10. ₹5 for kids. ₹50 for mobile. No entry fees for kids under 5 years.

A grand old temple, deeply beautiful and full of divine energy. The Varadaraja Perumal Temple is among the largest in Kanchi, yet carries a sense of calm and reverence. The architecture is spectacular — soaring gopurams, wide corridors, many shrines, and elaborate halls that tell stories in stone. The temple is dedicated chiefly to Lord Vishnu (Varadharaja), and also houses shrines for Lakshmi, Narasimha, Sri Sudarsana and other divine forms. One of its finest features is the 100-pillared mandapam (hall) built by the Vijayanagar kings — no two pillars are alike, and each bears delicate carvings of mythological scenes, divine forms, yalis, celestial beings, and stories from Ramayana and Mahabharata. Inside the large temple complex you’ll find multiple mandapams and halls; in total there are hundreds of pillars in different parts of the temple. The complex covers a vast area (about 23+ acres) and has three major precincts (prakarams). One of the most enchanting spots is the shrine of Chakratalvar (Sudarshana) near the temple tank. The image of Sudarshana here is grand and rare, often drawing devotees especially interested in that form. There is also a sacred tradition about the Atthi Varadar — a wooden (fig-wood) deity stored in a secret chamber underwater, brought out once in every 40 years for worship. That said, parking is limited around the temple. Be prepared for tight streets and few spots, so arriving early or using local transport is advisable. All in all, this temple is not just a shrine but a living testimony to art, faith, and history. If your journey leads through Kanchipuram, this must be on your spiritual and architectural map.

Varadaraja Perumal Temple in Kanchipuram is a magnificent temple dedicated to Lord Vishnu, known as Varadarajar – “the King who grants boons.” The architecture is breathtaking, with grand gopurams and the famous 100-pillared hall. A special highlight is the golden and silver lizards on the ceiling—touching them is believed to wash away sins and bring good luck. Parking is available close to the temple. The streets outside are lined with shops for flowers, prasadam, and the world-famous Kanchipuram silk sarees. Kailasanathar Temple and Ekambareswarar Temple are nearby, and there are many vegetarian restaurants serving tasty South Indian meals. A wonderful mix of devotion, history, shopping, and food.

Visiting the Varadharaja Perumal Temple in Kanchipuram was a truly divine experience. The moment I stepped inside, there was a sense of calm and devotion that words can hardly describe. The temple’s grand architecture, intricate carvings, and peaceful atmosphere make it one of the most sacred places in South India. The idol of Lord Varadharaja Perumal is majestic and radiates such spiritual energy that you naturally feel blessed. The temple is beautifully maintained, and the priests conduct the rituals with deep reverence. Walking around the ancient corridors and witnessing the gopurams (towers) reminded me of the timeless devotion that has kept this place alive for centuries. If you visit Kanchipuram, this temple is a must. It’s not just a place of worship, but a journey into faith, history, and serenity.

The origins of the temple trace back to the Pallava period, but major expansions and renovations were undertaken by the Cholas and especially the Vijayanagara kings. The temple is an extraordinary example of Dravidian architecture, with contributions from dynasties such as the Cholas, Pandyas, Cheras, Hoysalas, and Vijayanagara Nayaks. The walls of the temple complex contain over 350 historic inscriptions that document donations, royal patronage, and temple events across centuries. Spread over 23 acres, the temple is known for its grand seven-tiered Raja Gopuram (tower), massive stone walls, and immense courtyards. There are three main precincts, around 32 shrines, nearly 20 Vimanas, a majestic 100-pillared Kalyana Mandapam (marriage hall) with exquisite sculptures, and a temple tank called Anantha Saras. The main sanctum sits atop the Hastigiri hillock, accessed by a flight of steps, and houses the main deity Varadharaja Perumal in standing posture, with Sun rays illuminating the idol on a special day after Chitra Pournami in April-May. Perundevi Thayar, his consort, has a separate shrine at ground level, and many other Vaishnava icons and saints, including shrines for Ramanuja, the Azhwars, and Narasimha, can be found within the temple. A unique feature is the sacred idol of Athi Varadar (crafted from fig wood), which is preserved underwater in the temple tank and brought out for public worship only once every 40 years. The artistry in the Kalyana Mandapam—including intricate chain carvings from a single stone and mythological panels—is a highlight of the Vijayanagara period. The magnificent gopurams, 100-pillared marriage hall, and beautifully carved shrines are awe-inspiring, with the entire complex radiating a sense of ancient devotion and spiritual strength. festivals such as Brahmotsavam and Garuda Sevai draw huge crowds, with vibrant traditions and processions. Dress code is traditional not necessarily dhoti saree but simple enough to enter the temple Visiting the temple is an immersive experience, whether admiring the historic sculptures, receiving darshan of the grand standing idol, or touching the legendary golden lizard for blessings.

After Kanchi Kamakshi temple you can visit Vishnu Kanchi where you can have Darshan of Narasimha Swamy and then Vishnu Murthy and golden Lizard that is believed to wipe off your sins. The temple can be better maintained but people over there were very helpful to visitors guiding them as required. The original main idol is mentioned to be stored in the kolanu(water body) in a silver box into which even water can’t enter and taken out last time between 2019-2020 and will be taken out once again in next 42 years to perform the Pooja. They saved this idol to protect it from Muslim Rulers who destructed several epic temples in South to destroy Hindu community and cultural traces.

The temple is living testament of wonder of our ancient architecture. Temple is spread in a large area with a big pond. Apart from main deity there multiple small temple of god & goddess. The temple need maintenance. Many part of the temple is found to be detoriating. We visited there on a Saturday forenoon. We spent almost 1.5 hours in this temple. There were no rush during our visit to the temple. 100 pillar Mandapam is magnificent. Roadside parking is available around the temple. Do visit this temple to know about our ancient history & architecture.

A magnificent and divine temple with stunning Dravidian architecture. The carvings and sculptures are truly mesmerizing. The main entrance gopuram is currently under construction, but the temple remains open for darshan. It’s peaceful and well-maintained, offering a great spiritual experience. A must-visit temple in Kanchipuram for its grandeur and devotion.

A peaceful and divine temple with beautiful traditional architecture. The main gopuram is currently under construction, and once completed, it will look even more majestic. There’s no luggage counter, so it’s better to avoid carrying bags. A must-visit place in Kanchipuram for its spiritual atmosphere and heritage beauty.

One of the divine abodes of Lord Shiva, which is one of the Panch Bhootha Sthalams representing the 5 elements. Temple space is very vast and there is a famous Mango tree inside the premises which is a must visit. The temple is under construction and hence many access points are restricted from public. Looking forward to visit the temple again after renovation(Dec 2nd week).

Visited on a busy Sunday, the Ekambarnathar Temple in Kanchipuram greets you with a lively, devotional energy that complements its deep sense of history. The complex feels expansive yet intimate in places, with shaded corridors and open courtyards that make it easy to move between shrines and admire details at a relaxed pace. However, the parking area is a mess and muddied. We did park some distance away due to roadblocks within the city, but there is ample place for cars to be accommodated adjacent to the temple itself. The temple is one of the "Pancha Bhoota Sthalas", representing the five elements of Earth, and is dedicated to Lord Shiva in the form of Ekambaranathar. A sacred mango tree is clearly noticed within the complex where Goddess Kamakshi (a form of Parvati) is said to have done her penance to win over Shiva in marriage. It is claimed that the four branches of the tree provide four differing varieties of mangoes in taste and shape with the tree itself being over 3500 years old. Architecturally, the complex showcases classic Dravidian architecture with towering gopurams, pillared halls, and richly carved mandapas. The site’s origins reach back many centuries, with major contributions from Pallava, Chola, and later dynasties; the complex spans a very large area and is among the most substantial temple precincts in the region. Take time to savour in the complex and the intricately carved pillars. Better infrastructure development around this would be helpful. The main entrance and gopuram has construction ongoing and thus not accessible.

We visited this temple on the Saturday evening. There was no rush at all. Temple entry is free & there weren't any special queue. The temple is magnificent and wonder of architecture. The temple is spread in large area. There is ample car parking space. The Shankaracharya Muth is very near to this temple. We felt a divine experience while visiting this temple.

Ekambaranathan Temple in Kanchipuram is one of the most ancient and sacred Shiva temples in Tamil Nadu. Built around the 12th century, it showcases stunning Tamil architecture with a tall ten-tiered gopuram and hundreds of beautifully carved pillars, each telling mythological tales. The temple is famous for its 3500-year-old mango tree, believed to represent the four Vedas. Though parts of the temple are under renovation, it remains clean and peaceful, with fewer crowds than Kamakshi Temple. Visiting with an authorised guide helps understand its spiritual and historical significance. Truly a must-visit heritage site in Kanchipuram.

Ancient temple with Tamil Architecture. A shiva temple constructed probably in 12 th century. Most of the temple is under renovation. The front gopura is almost ten storied. Each column (there are hundreds of them) depicts a mythological story. There is a Mango tree which is believed to be 3500 old... that's the story. One must visit this place for its architectural marvel. Good along with authorised guide to understand the significance and history.

Ekambareswarar Temple in Kanchipuram (Tamil Nadu) is one of the most ancient and grand temples dedicated to Lord Shiva. According to Puranas, Goddess Parvati performed penance under a mango tree to win Lord Shiva’s hand in marriage. She fashioned a Shiva Lingam out of sand, and when the river threatened to wash it away, Shiva protected it by spreading his hand over it — thus blessing her devotion. Built in Dravidian style, expanded by Pallavas, Cholas, and Vijayanagar Kings.

We visited the Kailasanatha Temple around 10:00 in the morning, and the moment we entered, we were truly amazed by its architecture. The entire structure is built with stone, and the carvings were so intricate and detailed that it felt like every pillar and wall had a story to tell. Inside the temple, we saw a huge Shiva Lingam, which gave the whole place a very divine and peaceful aura. The most fascinating part for me was the pillared designs – each pillar was beautifully carved and had a unique charm. We spent around one hour exploring the temple, from 10:00 am to 11:00 am, admiring the artistry and soaking in the spiritual atmosphere before leaving with a sense of calm and appreciation for such an ancient masterpiece.

One of the best and oldest temple to visit with family. The scriptures and inscriptions on the walls made the architecture awesome. The rituals of leaving behind the past sins while doing the darshanam is also commendable. The temple closes atound 12.30 pm and opens by 4pm. Must visit spot in Kanchipuram.

A must-visit ancient temple in Kanchipuram! Kailasanathar Temple is one of the oldest and most peaceful temples in the city. The architecture is truly stunning — beautifully carved stone structures with detailed sculptures that reflect our rich history. The surroundings are calm and well-maintained, making it perfect for a peaceful visit or photography. You can really feel the divine and historical vibe here. 🙏 🙏

Very Very Excellent place of worship maintained by Archeological Survey of India Very near to Sri Kachabeswarar temple in Kanchipuram. Here Lingam (Shri Kailasanathar) is in sixteen faces shape or a double octagonal one. Height of the Deity also an impressive one. Architecture here in this temple remains a masterpiece and one cannot move away from here just like that. Circumbulation of The Deity Shri Kailasanatha is tricky one and really interesting and one cannot skip it on their visit here. It's a belief here one who circumbulate this tricky path there is no next birth here on this Planet Earth. Om NamaSivaya.

Very old and well maintained heritage temple. The age of the temple is well evident from the sculptures. Entry is free and parking is little problematic. There is no restriction on what to wear.

Kailasanathar Temple in Kanchipuram is an astonishingly beautiful heritage site—the oldest surviving Shiva temple in the region, Built around 700 CE by the Pallava king Narasimhavarman II (Rajasimha), with some additions by his son Mahendravarman III, it is dedicated to Lord Shiva and showcases the grandeur and ingenuity of Pallava craftsmanship The temple is a masterpiece of Dravidian architecture: its sandstone exteriors and granite structures are adorned with breathtakingly detailed carvings, including mythical creatures and intricate frescoes. The peaceful atmosphere here is a welcome change from the bustle of larger temples; with lush lawns and quiet surroundings, it is perfect for slow exploration and reflection. There are nearly 60 smaller shrines within the complex, elaborate walls filled with yazhi motifs, and a tunnel around the sanctum that makes for a unique experience. While not as expansive as some other temples in Kanchipuram, its fine artistry and sense of history make it a must-see for anyone interested in Indian heritage, architecture, or spirituality. Guides were not present, so reading up beforehand or seeking out the temple priest for stories is highly recommended. Photos are allowed, but remember to remove shoes before entering the premises. The temple’s artistry and layout later inspired great Chola kings—Raja Raja Chola I is said to have drawn inspiration for building the Brihadeeshwara Temple after visiting Kailasanathar Highly recommended for architecture lovers, history enthusiasts, and anyone seeking an authentic heritage experience in Kanchipuram.

This temple must be preserved by the govt . It’s not made of stone sculpture so the statues r melting stage . It has to be preserved . Had a wonderful time visiting this temple . Very old temple of shiva . Don’t come in summer the sun is very hot so I can’t walk around .

Thiruthani is a peaceful and spiritually enriching place to visit. We waited a bit to see Lord Murugan, but the experience was well worth it. The temple has a serene atmosphere, and being in such a divine space brings a sense of calm and devotion. The views around the temple are also breathtaking, making it a great spot to connect with both nature and spirituality. It’s a must-visit for those seeking peace and a deeper connection with the divine.

My visit to Tiruttani Murugar Temple was one of the most peaceful and spiritual experiences I’ve had. It’s one of the Arupadai Veedu (six abodes) of Lord Murugan, and you can truly feel the divine presence the moment you reach the hill. The temple is located on a scenic hilltop, and the journey itself is refreshing — whether you climb the steps or drive up. The surroundings are calm, filled with devotion, and the air itself feels pure. Early morning darshan is especially beautiful when the temple bells ring and the chanting echoes through the hills. The view from the top is simply breathtaking — you can see the whole town and nearby hills covered in mist if you go early. The temple staff and priests are kind and manage the crowd smoothly. The place is well maintained and clean, which makes the whole experience even better. I felt truly blessed and peaceful after the darshan. There’s something special about this temple — a divine energy that fills your heart with positivity and strength. If you are a devotee of Lord Murugan or someone looking for spiritual calmness, Tiruttani is a must-visit. You’ll surely leave with a peaceful mind and a happy heart.

One of the arupadai veetu of murugar. Located in tirutanni. Special thing is separate place for Valli and devaiyanai goddess. Murugar looks stunning in tirutanni. Small hill to climb.

The temple is dedicated to the god Venkateswara, a form of Vishnu and is referred to as Kalyana Venkateswara. This is the place where Venkateswara with his consort Padmavathi stayed for the first six months of their marriage. The presiding deity of the temple is Venkateswara (a form of the god Vishnu) who is referred to as Kalyana Venkateswara. The deity faces East and is in standing posture with four hands: one right hand in varada mudra and the other holding Chakra and one left hand in kati mudra and the other holding Shankha. The temple also hosts the deities of Lakshmi Narayana and Ranganatha, both forms of Vishnu.

A grand temple of Bhagwan Venkatesh. It is believed that he stayed here with Ma Padmavati for 6 months after their marriage. The temple is clean and well maintained by TTD. There is Rs 5 ticket for special entry. The girls who intend to marry can ask for sacred thread from the priest doing archana. It is a yellow colour thread which he will tie on girl left hand and gurl will soon get auspicious arrangement for marriage.

Most pleasant and blissful precient. It becones you with both hands. Very peaceful and powerful. Early morning seva start by 5am and goes thru the day upto 9 pm with some break in the middle. The kalyani is neat and overall vibe is super. Love being there early morning.

The idol of sri maha Vishnu is super attractive...one should be blessed to have darshan ...om namo baghavathe vasudevaya

Such a pleasant atmosphere at this temple. Every time I visit the temple, I make sure to go with the Veda mantra seva. And, it's the place where Sri varu was married and so, it's named Sri Kalyana Venkateswara Swamy aka Srinivasa Mangapuram.

Vellore Fort is a calm and pleasant place to visit. The fort area is spacious, clean, and well maintained, making it good for a relaxed walk with family or friends. Inside the fort there are temples. In weekend this place became crowded but it's a good place for walking and spending time with nature

Vellore Fort is a huge and magnificent fort that stands as a reminder of Vellore’s rich history. The fort is surrounded by a beautiful temple and a calm lake, which makes the place very scenic and peaceful. The architecture is strong and detailed, showing the amazing skill of the builders from centuries ago. Walking through the large stone walls and old gateways feels like stepping back in time. Inside the fort, the Jalakandeswarar Temple adds a divine touch to the place. The lake around the fort gives a lovely view and keeps the surroundings fresh and pleasant. It is a great spot for those who love history, architecture, and photography. The wide open area inside the fort is perfect for exploring, but it can also be tiring, especially under the hot sun. The place is quite vast, so walking all around it takes time and effort. Despite the heat, the experience is worth it because the fort has so much character and beauty. A morning or evening visit might be more comfortable. Overall, Vellore Fort is an impressive structure that reflects India’s glorious past, surrounded by divine energy and natural charm.

Jalakantheshwar Mahadev temple is very ancient and beautiful temple, taken care by Archeological Survey of India, at Vellore Town. Present inside a fort surrounded by pool of water is an ancient marvel. The temple architecture is similar to Dravida type, has a shivling like mahakaleshwar of Ujjain. A must visit in Vellore.

Truly will be a worth tourist place if the maintenance done with good effort. A walk takes more than a hour to go around. But few areas looks like abondanded and not felt safe. No proper parking inside.. car/van are packed in crooked roads itself. I don't understand why maintenance is so poor and destroying the historical monuments slowly.

Worth the visit! 🏰 The fort is beautiful and definitely worth exploring, but I’d recommend prioritizing the Shiva temple inside — it’s truly special. The place is huge and perfect for a relaxing walk and sightseeing. 🌿✨

The worst possible maintenance every possible by ASI I guess. Except the fort wall and the water surrounding it there's nothing in the fort left. Please do not waste your time going around this place unless you would like to take your evening walk.

There is God SHIV's temple in the forte temple maintained beautiful and peaceful but the fort outside from temple maintained poorly and not cleaned water logged at some places or the fort water smells bad....

Visiting the Jalakandeswarar Temple in Vellore was a peaceful and uplifting experience. The temple structure is very beautiful, with amazing stone carvings and traditional South Indian architecture. The tall gopuram and carved pillars show the fine skill of ancient builders. Inside, Lord Shiva is worshipped as Jalakandeswarar, and having darshan felt truly divine and calming. There is no strict dress code here, but it is best to dress modestly as a mark of respect. The temple complex is large, with a wide area to walk around and admire the surroundings. Inside, there are also small temples dedicated to Lord Ganesha, Lord Karthikeya, and Goddess Akilandeswari. The temple has a beautiful mandapam, which is used for special rituals and temple programs. We visited on Ekadasi, and there was a lively spiritual atmosphere with sadhus and devotees taking part in prayers and chanting. Though the temple attracts many visitors, the darshan line usually moves quickly and rarely takes more than 30 minutes. The temple also serves Anna Prasadam, which is simple, fresh, and filled with devotion. Overall, Jalakandeswarar Temple is not just a sacred place of worship but also a stunning example of art, faith, and history. It leaves your heart full of peace.

Visited Jalakandeswarar Temple in Vellore yesterday. The gopuram is massive, and the temple has many beautiful brass idols inside, all well-maintained. There’s vehicle parking available, and we were charged ₹50. The temple is located inside Vellore Fort, so you can also explore other nearby spots while visiting. A peaceful and must-visit place!

Definitely worth a visit! 🛕 This is a very old and beautiful temple dedicated to Lord Shiva, located inside the fort. It’s quite large and truly impressive. Just make sure to check the opening hours before you go. ⏰✨ Ohm namah shivaya

Beautiful temple in the fort. I saw a lot of marriage photoshoots going on near the Kalyana Mandapam. Amazing stone and carving work in and around the temple. Not too crowded. Entry and exit was smooth. Entry in the fort area will cost you 50₹ for car. Enough parking available. Paid toilets are available. Space for keeping footwear is available too. Free of cost.

This is the only best part of the vellore fort campus. Please do not forget to visit the hall of pillars just after the entrance on the left. They are the marvelous creation of the Vijayanagara architecture. Having a walk in the outer prakaram (circle) is peaceful and spiritual. This place is worthy to visit at least once (especially for the pillars 😍)

Jalakandeswarar Temple is one of the best temples in Vellore, especially for VIT students. Visiting during Maha Shivratri is a truly spiritual experience with vibrant celebrations and a peaceful atmosphere. A must-visit for anyone looking to connect with culture and devotion.

Worth visiting for Lakshmi’s blessings, but skip the ticket. 🙏🏻 It’s a beautiful temple and definitely worth visiting to receive the blessings of Goddess Lakshmi. However, I don’t recommend buying the paid ticket — I got the ₹300 one and honestly, it wasn’t worth it. The free visit is more than enough to enjoy the temple. 🪷✨

🌸 Lakshmi Narayani Mata Temple 🌸 I visited this temple recently after many years — it still looks the same as I saw it back in 2012! The place is well maintained, peaceful, and beautiful. Only the ticket system has changed, but everything else remains just as good as before. The darshan experience was wonderful. Lakshmi Narayani Mata Ki Jai! 🙏

Golden Temple is around 120 Kms from Tirupati spanning 100 acres. This temples Vimanam and Ardhagupuram is covered with pure gold around 1500 Kgs gold. Visitors must dress modestly. Wearing short pants are not allowed.

NOT A DIVINE PLACE but a TOURIST SPOT LIKE. COMPLETELY COMMERCIAL ORIENTED with very nice INFRA STRUCTURE & INTERIOR DECORATIONS with a tactical HR Ideas to grab visitors' money. SEE THEIR CHARGES IN PICS. IF U PAY MIN RS.150/- (A MUST) U HV TO WALK FOR 2 KMS QUEUE PATH FOR SRI SWARNA LAXMI's DHARSHAN. IF U PAY MORE, LESS WAITING. APPRECIABLY MOTHER'S FEEDING ROOMS & TOILETS ARE INSIDE. FEMALE STAFFS ARE SHIVERINGLY WISHING SECURITIES. IN A DIVINE PLACE, SECURITIES ARE COMMANDING IN A RUDE SLANG even to DEVOTEES. HOW THIS MUCH OF LAND WITH MORE TREES at the bed of hills IS ACQUIRED?? INVESTIGATIVE JOURNALISTS MUST ENTER TO REVEAL THE ACTUAL THINGS IN & AROUND HERE. BETTER GENUINE HINDUS NOT TO VISIT HERE. WE CAN JUST ENJOY THE WINDY PICNIC SPOT FEEL.

Very beautiful temple with huge campus area. Temple is surrounded by trees. Place is very clean and clam. Mobiles are not allowed inside. There are specific slots for free darshan. Otherwise need to pay for darshan. I took Rs. 300 Darshan, in that they will allow to sit in front of God for sometime also they gave Prasad. Restaurant, Parking, Accomodation facilities are available.

This was the best temple I've ever seen, the temple is made up of full gold and if you enter in the temple taking 150rs ticket you can do abisheka for 70kg golden Lakshmi idol, i recommend to take 150rs ticket that is best, and temple is open from 8am for 150rs ticket for free entry from 10am

Kanipakam Swayambhu Ganesha Temple is truly divine and spiritually uplifting. The idol is swayambhu (self-manifested), making the darshan very powerful and unique. The temple radiates positivity, peace, and a strong sense of devotion. A must-visit holy place where prayers feel instantly heard and the atmosphere fills you with divine energy… Temple should avoid practices of asking money as true devotion must remain pure and heartfelt.. Be aware of agents outside temple.. money is not everything.. sad part is even though temple was free enough they made us walk up and down the stairs for min 2 kms (even though people were hardly 10 to 15 members) One small request is to organise a special darshan facility for senior citizens and those unable to walk, which will make the experience even more comfortable and inclusive…

Kanipakam Sri Varasiddhi Vinayaka Temple – History & Experience Located in the serene village of Kanipakam in Andhra Pradesh’s Chittoor district, this temple is dedicated to Lord Ganesha and is famed for its miraculous origins and divine presence. Built in the 11th century by Chola king Kulothunga Chola I and later expanded by the Vijayanagara rulers, the temple houses a self-manifested (Swayambhu) idol of Lord Ganesha that emerged from a well. Legend says three differently-abled brothers—one blind, one mute, and one deaf—were digging a well when they struck a stone. Blood gushed out, and miraculously, all three were cured of their disabilities. The idol remains half-submerged in water to this day and is believed to be growing in size over time, defying scientific explanation. Devotees flock here not just for blessings but also to take oaths, as the temple is considered a “Court of Truth”—where lies are believed to be exposed in the presence of the deity. The atmosphere is deeply spiritual, especially during festivals like Vinayaka Chavithi and Brahmotsavam, which draw thousands of pilgrims. A visit to Kanipakam is not just a religious experience—it’s a journey into faith, mystery, and divine justice.

One of the most unique features is that the idol of Lord Ganesha is swayambhu, meaning self-manifested—not man-made. The idol emerged naturally from the earth and continues to grow in size slowly over time, which is considered miraculous by devotees. The temple has a sacred well or “Kalyani”, where the idol was first discovered. The well still holds water year-round, and during abhishekam (ritual bathing), the water overflows—regardless of the season—which many believe is divine.

Kanipakam Varasidhi Vinayaka Temple 🛕 Feeling ever grateful to visit this sacred temple of Lord Ganesha. The divine presence here fills the heart with peace and positivity. The atmosphere is calm, pleasant, and truly spiritual — a place where you can feel the blessings of Lord Vinayaka in every moment. 🙏🏻✨ Buses are conveniently available from Tirupati Bus Station. Opt for the bypass bus, which takes around 1½ hours and is faster than the regular routes. Om Shri Varasidhi Vinayaka Namaha!🙏🏻

Beautiful temple and if you prefer to go for abhisehkam then you have to go with dhoti and no shirt.you can get the dhoti sold there for 200 rupees. With a ticket of 750, they allow 2 people to attend the abhishekam. Its a big place and nevr miss to see all the God idols. You also get ladder prasadam there which you need to buy.

Another great spiritual place near Tirupati. I visited the temple during weekend and it took more than 1 hr to get the darshan. It was crowded but ttd team managed it well. Total divine and make sure you don't miss this temple when you are in Tirupati. You get the 150 token inside the premise itself.

A must visit temple, there is something in the air that makes you feel calm. No phone or smart watch allowed. Take ati shreegrah ticket for quick darshan.

It is a very spiritual and peaceful place. A very good temple to visit with family and friends. The atmosphere is divine and gives a positive energy. Some suggestions for improvement: Currently, the entry fees are accepted only in cash. It would be better if they start accepting UPI or digital payments, as it is convenient for many visitors. Also, they often ask for exact change, which is difficult sometimes. In case of emergencies, it would be good if the management allows devotees to exit easily. For example, one parent’s kid was crying but they did not allow them to leave quickly and insisted on following the full queue. Since they are collecting entry fees, they should provide better services and facilities for devotees. Some of the management staff have a rude attitude, which can be improved to make devotees feel more welcomed. Overall, it is a must-visit spiritual place, but these small improvements can make the experience even better.

Heard about this place a lot so went on 5th oct 25 with family. The parking area was covered but still slushy due to overnight rains. We had to wade through the slush. Though entry fee was rupees 20 but no staff was available hence we entered free. The temple was maintained well. The siva lingams were placed in a orderly manner and pathway was built to access all the lingams. On the biggest lingam honeybees have built their honeycomb. Photo attached. Anyone can keep a lingam in their name after paying rupees 8000 for small one, 35000 for a bigger one and more than a lac for giant size siva lingam. A small pooja will be conducted then a space is allotted for your lingam. Drawback was they do not accept gpay or credit card or debit card only cash. This issue needs to be addressed by the temple authorities. They should not expect devotees to bring this much amount of cash. Infact for using toilet facilities the person collects rupees 5 per head via gpay though the toilet was nasty. The authorities must reign up the contractor. Overall a must visit place but take good amount of cash if you want to keep a lingam there.

Worthy of a one time visit only. Lots of various hindu deities within the complex, beside the 'koti' (meaning crore/ten million) shivlings spread across the place. Serene and peaceful yet this place is by no means a temple for offering prayers. It's clearly made out to be more of a tourist attraction. Starting from paid parking, entry fee of ₹20/- per person, directed visitors in a sequence to confront various hindu deities where the pujari's give you extra attention if one offers money. Better yet, these 'pujaris' coax every visiting individual to 'offer' money for 'blessings'. If one doesn't give/offer money, they grumble and show a care less attitude. Personally dissappointed and not likely to visit this place ever again. I reiterate, this place is more of a tourist attraction, not exactly a place of worship. Accordingly, go mentally prepared when visiting this place.

Temple is very good. Road is also nice to drive if you by Bangalore-Chennai expressway. The only thing which I did not like was at the entrance many transgenders who would demand money from everyone. Other thing is unnecessary forcing people through all the small temples in a queue. Rest all things are very nice and energy there is astonishing. Pujari told there was Brihma temple as well which is second only after Pushkar ji.

I had a wonderful experience visiting Kotilingeshwara Temple with my family. Being surrounded by countless Shiv lingas was truly mesmerizing and made me feel incredibly blessed. The spiritual atmosphere, coupled with the temple’s unique beauty, created memories I’ll cherish forever. Highly recommended for anyone seeking peace and divine blessings!

Kotilingeshwara Temple, located in Kamasandra near Kolar (about 90 km from Bangalore), is a unique and significant spiritual site. The name "Kotilingeshwara" translates to "Lord of a Crore (10 million) Lingas", symbolizing devotion and the massive scale of the temple's spiritual ambition. The main attraction is the 108-foot-tall Shiva Linga, one of the tallest in the world, accompanied by a 35-foot Nandi statue. Surrounding it are over 90 lakh (9 million) small Shivalingas, installed by devotees over the years. According to a priest there, around 10 lakh more need to be installed to reach the goal of 1 crore (10 million) Lingas, which is the temple's namesake and vision. The temple complex also houses shrines for many other deities such as Ganesha, Hanuman, Annapoorneshwari, Vishnu, and others, making it a multi-deity pilgrimage spot. That said, the experience feels over-commercialized. There's a mandatory ₹20 entrance fee, and almost every shrine has people expecting or insisting on donations, even for a simple darshan. Especially at the Annapoorneshwari shrine, visitors are pressured to donate ₹100 or ₹200 in exchange for a packet of vibhuti, which many may find forceful or inappropriate. Overall, it’s a fascinating temple to visit for its scale and symbolism, but be prepared for repeated donation requests and a very money-minded environment.

Recently visited the place early morning from Bangalore, the road is so good for a road trip. The timing of temple opening mentioned on google is wrong, it doesn’t open at 6 am it does at 7:30 am so plan your travel accordingly. There is ample parking space around the temple, footwear stands are available and some local shops around the temple. The entry ticket is Rs 20 per adult, kids below six years have free entry. The temple allows only traditional dress code for men and women, and phones are allowed inside the temple premises. There are many small temples inside of different deities along with all the lingams. There are many temple area is huge and takes at least an hour to visit fully. The views are mesmerising and definitely worth visiting at least once in your lifetime!

I recently visited the Sri Bhoga Nandishwara Temple, one of the historic and beautiful temples in the region. The temple’s architecture is impressive, with intricate carvings and a peaceful atmosphere. There are two Shiva Lingas inside, and the temple holds great spiritual significance. There is no entry fee to visit, but parking charges are around ₹50. Anna Prasadam is also available, which is simple and satisfying. Washroom facilities are available outside the temple premises for visitors’ convenience. Overall, it’s a must-visit place for those who appreciate history, architecture, and spirituality.

Visiting Sri Bhoga Nandishwara Gudi near Nandi Hills was a peaceful and spiritually refreshing experience. The temple is beautifully built, with intricate stone carvings and stunning Dravidian-style architecture that reflect centuries of craftsmanship.

It’s a must-see if you love ancient temples, architecture, or simply want a peaceful escape near Nandi Hills.

It’s less crowded than Nandi Hills itself, allowing for a more peaceful experience, and the detailed carvings and serene surroundings make it a memorable visit.

An historical temple also still functional. Beautiful architecture is an understatement. A must visit place when you are visiting Nandhi hills. They do allow marriage ceremony to take place in the temple premises. Most of the structure are getting damaged due to lack of proper security and government negligence I hope they will do something to maintain this beautiful temple.

Nice lounge.. they also serve liquor which is chargeable. Food options are available. They also have live counter for dosa and parantha which is a nice add on. Their tea collection is really very nice. I loved their Kahwa dip tea which i haven't seen anywhere else till date. They also serve filter coffee which is very authentic in taste. Washrooms are also inside the premises. It's good for a stopover and get some snacks and drinks. Staff is nice too.

Good place to stay before departure, if you hold a credit card which has good weight then your entry will be free. Food section is above average, dessert is good.

This is the best lounge at Bengaluru airport. Lots of options available for all to choose and have it before the departure for destinations.

One of the best lounge across India. Variety of food and ambience are too good. Only thing i dislike about this lounge is, they allow us inside only before 3 hours from departure time.

They take the efforts to decorate the premise as per festival season prevailing. Great ambience and ease of access, unlike other lounge situated at Kempagowda International Airport. The variety of cuisine available is also adequate. The staff is courteous and respectful. The area is neat and tidy. Definite pit stop if you have enough time in your hand before your flight.

Its one of good lounge in domestic airport

Entry allowed 3 hours before the flight. They charge 1500 INR per person, if you don't have a complementary pass. Very crowded. Complementary food available 24 hrs. Their breakfast spread is excellent. Have live counters for dosa items and egg. Self service. Alcoholic beverages to be purchased.

This place is situated near Nandi Hills. Great location and sceneries are really beautiful. We can do wine tasting here. If they have a system to check whether you are over 21+ for wine testing, it would have been a smooth process. Plan your visit during grapes season to see the grapes. Otherwise they will not allow. If you ask me the cost is more for just seeing the winery process. It is not a big area they are covering.

We had a fantastic experience at Grover Zampa Vineyard! The winery tour was informative, giving us a behind-the-scenes look at the winemaking process. The wine tasting session was delightful, with a great selection of wines to savour. Grape stomping was a fun and unique experience, adding to the charm of the visit. The food was excellent, perfectly complementing the wines. We absolutely loved the ambience—peaceful vineyard, a relaxed setting, and great hospitality. A must-visit for wine lovers and anyone looking for a perfect day out! 🍷✨

Wine and food are good. But if you seat outside in the lawn, the severe cowdung smell from the adjoining cow-shed will surely ruin the atmosphere. Something I recommend the management to take care of.

Recommend Grover Zampa for wine enthusiasts keen to understand wine making and taste the samples. A good to visit destination for an enjoyable day Understand the wine making process of sorting, crushing, fermentation, ageing, bottling, labelling and packaging of wine bottles and barrel room. The best part is the wine tastings sessions which is very informative about types of wine and how choose the wine. Good and unique experience for a half day visit

I always had in mind to visit the vineyard and finally got the chance in Bangalore... It was a great experience, got to know so many things about wine.. How it's made, how to choose as well as enjoy having it... Sonali was our tour guide for the day, she explained everything so well and we really enjoyed the tour. Wine tasting was fantastic where I get to taste 6 varities.. We had our lunch there, mini pizza platter and prawns, delicious fresh food.. Bought some amazing wines too.. Wanted to visit the grape fields as well but couldn't as this isn't the season for it.. May be next for time..

Had an incredible experience at Grover Zampa Winery! The wine tour was enlightening, showcasing the winemaking process from vine to bottle. The variety of wines offered during the tasting was impressive, each sip telling a unique story of craftsmanship. The knowledgeable staff added a personal touch, answering all our questions with enthusiasm. The picturesque vineyard views provided a serene backdrop, enhancing the overall ambiance. Additionally, the food pairing was exquisite, complementing the wines perfectly. The culinary delights elevated the tasting experience, making it a delightful gastronomic journey. Highly recommend Grover Zampa for wine enthusiasts seeking a blend of education, tasteful wines, and gastronomic pleasure. A must-visit destination for an enriching and enjoyable day! 🍇🍷🍴

I recently had the pleasure of visiting Grover Zampa Vineyards, and it was an experience to remember. Located in the picturesque hills of Nandi, this vineyard offers a beautiful blend of scenic beauty and world-class wines. The vineyard's setting is absolutely stunning. Surrounded by lush greenery, the location itself is a perfect getaway from the hustle and bustle of city life. The vineyard tour provides an educational yet enjoyable experience, giving insights into the winemaking process, right from grape cultivation to the final bottling The wine tasting session was a highlight of the visit. Grover Zampa offers a diverse range of wines, each with its unique flavor profile. The tasting included their signature varieties such as the Art Collection Sauvignon Blanc, La Réserve, and the Vijay Amritraj Reserve Collection. The sommeliers were knowledgeable and passionate, making the experience even more enriching. Restaurant is good and food is tasty. One thing which I observed is the lady brought plates on the table was doing cleaning and moping some time back at same place.

I had a great experience visiting this place. The topics covered are excellent and very helpful for school students. I noticed many students enjoying their time and engaging with the exhibits. All the units on display are well-maintained, fully functional, and provided a clear understanding of the concepts. The only drawback is the lack of dedicated parking, so I had to use paid parking services nearby. Overall, a very educational and enjoyable visit!

Visvesvaraya Industrial park is an awesome place to visit for kids and adults.. There was not much rush as we entered the park,however as time passed on kids from different schools poured in..

You can also buy souvenirs from there.. Overall a must visit place 😍

Recently, I visited Cubbon Park in Bangalore, and it turned out to be a refreshing escape from the city’s chaos. Spread across around 300 acres, this lush green paradise is truly the “lungs” of the city. The moment I entered, I was welcomed by tall trees, fresh air, and the sound of birds — a rare treat in a busy metro. The good part is definitely the peaceful atmosphere. You’ll see joggers, cyclists, families, and even pet lovers enjoying their time here. The park is clean and well-maintained, with plenty of benches to sit and relax. The State Central Library with its iconic red building inside the park adds a classic charm — perfect spot for photos. It’s also very safe and ideal for morning walks or evening strolls. However, there are a few downsides too. Parking can be a headache on weekends, and sometimes the park gets overcrowded. In a few corners, you might also spot people littering, which slightly ruins the beauty of the place. The park opens from 6:00 AM to 6:00 PM, and I’d suggest the best time to visit is early morning between 6:00 AM to 9:00 AM — when it’s calm, less crowded, and the weather feels amazing. Overall, Cubbon Park is a must-visit for nature lovers, fitness enthusiasts, or anyone looking to take a break from Bangalore’s traffic and noise.

🌿 Sri Chamarajendra Park (Cubbon Park) – A Peaceful Morning Escape in the Heart of Bengaluru! 🌿 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I visited Sri Chamarajendra Park (ಶ್ರೀ ಚಾಮರಾಜೇಂದ್ರ ಉದ್ಯಾನವನ) early in the morning, and it was such a refreshing and peaceful experience.

Highly recommend it if you love a mix of nature, peace, and good energy! 🌿💚

The best park in Bangalore. Ample space to sit and relax. A lot of people come in to walk, run, play some fun games. Most bring their sheets to sit and spend quality time with their friends and families. Must visit.

Such a peaceful place to spend your weekend with friends and family. You can see a lot of people there but still you will get that privacy for enjoying a good time with your baby or your loved ones. There are some do's and dont's mentioned in the front area like no outside food, no playing, no gathering of more than 20 people etc so read before you enter. No entrance fee. Paid parking is there.

A Calming Green Oasis in Bengaluru Lalbagh Botanical Garden offers a decent escape from the city hustle. I had an "OK" experience, largely thanks to the wonderfully calm and fresh environment. If you're looking for a spot with natural bird sounds to truly cool down and relax your mind, this place is highly recommended. It's a true "lung space" for Bengaluru. A major plus was the e-cycle ride, which is a fantastic way to cover the vast garden expanse. The rental seemed to have a flexible pricing, as I saw options for a short ride. I did a ride. We also caught the artificial waterfall near the lake, which operates on a fixed schedule. We saw it running from 6:00 PM to 6:15 PM. It adds a nice, serene touch to the lake area when it's on. My one major feeling was a slight lack of a "zoo" or large animal presence (apart from birds), which I missed—it felt more like a purely botanical experience rather than a nature park with diverse wildlife. However, for a botanical garden, all the basic amenities and facilities are well-maintained. Conclusion ; If you are in Bengaluru, it's definitely worth a visit for a peaceful, nature-filled break and a lovely walk or cycle ride.

Recently visited here — it’s a beautiful and refreshing place to connect with nature. The garden is huge, and it’s quite hard to cover the entire area within an hour. You’ll find ancient, massive trees and a wide variety of plant species, making it a paradise for nature lovers. The garden is well-maintained, with benches for sitting, trash bins placed throughout, and washroom and drinking water facilities available inside. There are also food stalls, a fountain area, and a poly house that add to the experience. The entry fee is ₹50 for adults and ₹20 for children. Plastic bottles are not allowed, which helps keep the place clean. I also visited the nursery, though it was closed due to a festive occasion. It’s a great spot for families, couples, or anyone looking for peace amidst greenery. The calm atmosphere and natural beauty truly make you feel one with nature. 🌿🌸

Lalbagh Botanical Garden is truly a beautiful and serene oasis in the heart of Bangalore.

It was a beautiful experience. The day was 🌞 I went with my family to explore the beauty of this huge botanical garden that has flora species dating back to hundreds of years ago. Enchanting. ❤️😇 We took the ride for 45 mins which is charged ₹100 per person. The guide thoroughly took us to different locations of the botanical garden taking small stops at specific points. Overall it was a nice experience. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to the place. Recommended to family and friends. ✨

One of the prettiest garden I have ever visited. So beautiful, peaceful and huge. Our first option was Cubbon Park due to its ratings but when I visited this instead, I was glad. It's really beautiful! The way everything is maintained there is very pleasant. The whole area around this park is so cool due to the trees in the garden. Very less pollution and lot of things to do😍

I’m from Tamil Nadu, and for almost 3 years I had a deep wish to visit the ISKCON Temple in Bangalore. Finally, life gave me the chance—and the moment I stepped in, it truly felt divine. The temple is beautiful, calm, and peaceful beyond words. The architecture, the chants, and the positive energy around make it a perfect place to find inner peace. The environment is very well maintained, and the devotees are humble and welcoming. You can feel a sense of calmness the moment you enter. It’s not just a temple—it’s an experience that touches your heart. 💫 Very beautiful and peaceful temple — everyone must visit this place at least once in their life. 🙏🤍😇

It was a truly mesmerising day when I decided to visit the ISKCON temple over the weekend. As I approached the temple, I could feel the spiritual energy enveloping the atmosphere, despite the crowd of devotees that had gathered. The intricate architecture of the white temple stood out beautifully against the blue sky, and the sounds of chanting filled the air, creating a serene yet lively ambience. Inside, the aroma of fresh flowers and incense wafted through the halls, enhancing the sacred experience. People of all ages were engaged in prayer and meditation, their faces reflecting a deep sense of peace and devotion. I found solace in the rhythmic chants and the uplifting energy that pervaded the space. The sense of community among the visitors was palpable, and I felt connected to something much larger than myself. It was a day filled with tranquillity and a profound sense of purity, making me grateful for the opportunity to be there.

Nice place to worship Lord Krishna. Very well connected with metro and Bengaluru buses. In temple, darshan facilities, food & water facilities are good. Overall very good arrangements,cleanliness and nice experience. Only thing is no special feeling. It's like visiting any other temple. Maybe because temple is surrounded by big buildings; so not giving that divine vibes where we tries to connect with God with peace.

I recently visited the ISKCON Temple in Bengaluru, and honestly, it left me feeling peaceful and refreshed in a way I didn’t expect. The moment you walk in, the calmness just hits you. The place is beautifully built, super clean, and has this soothing atmosphere that makes you slow down and breathe a little deeper. The sound of “Hare Krishna” chants playing continuously in the background creates such a positive vibe — it’s something you actually feel, not just hear. The evening aarti was easily the best part of my visit. Watching it in person, with the lights, music, and devotion in the air, felt incredibly grounding and comforting. The whole temple is very well managed, and the volunteers are genuinely kind and helpful — something you really appreciate when the place is this busy. There’s also a prasadam hall, a food court with really tasty sattvic food, and a nice little shop with books and souvenirs. Everything is neatly maintained and adds to the overall experience. If you’re in Bengaluru, I’d say this is definitely a place you shouldn’t miss. Whether you’re going for prayer, peace, or just to see something beautiful, you’ll walk out with a lighter heart and a calmer mind.

If you're driving a four wheeler then parking charges of 40 rupees collected. You shall easily spend an hour or three including the shopping of artifacts and other devotional items inside the temple premises. Multiple vaishnavaite deities are present here.

A Great Day Out, But With Key Areas for Improvement ​Bannerghatta Biological Park offers a genuinely wonderful experience for wildlife lovers, making it a fantastic destination for a day trip. The park is vast, and many of the naturalized habitats for the local species are impressive and well-maintained. The staff we interacted with were friendly and helpful, contributing to an overall positive atmosphere. ​However, a couple of significant issues prevented me from rating this as a perfect five-star experience. ​Firstly, I was disappointed that some of the highly anticipated major animals, notably the Lion and the Orangutan, were either absent or could not be found in their areas during our visit. This was a notable letdown for key species that many visitors hope to see. ​More importantly, I observed certain welfare concerns that I hope the park management addresses. Several animals appeared to be kept alone or with a very limited number of mates, which seemed sparse given their social nature. In a few cases, the enclosures seemed smaller than ideal, and I witnessed some animals exhibiting repetitive, stereotypic behaviors (pacing back and forth). This gave the distinct impression that they might be bored, stressed, or depressed due to the lack of space or social stimulation. Ensuring that all animals have adequate companionship and spacious, enriching enclosures is crucial for a park of this stature. ​Despite these issues, the overall variety of species and the natural beauty of the environment are undeniable. If the park could improve its exhibit list consistency and significantly upgrade the size and social conditions of the enclosures I mentioned, it would easily earn five stars.

I visited Bannerghatta National Park about a month ago, and it turned out to be a really enjoyable experience. The place has a nice mix of things to do — the zoo, the butterfly park, and of course, the safari. The safari was the highlight for me. We got surprisingly close views of lions, tigers, bears, and herbivores in spacious enclosures that actually feel pretty close to their natural habitat. It’s exciting without being rushed, and you really get good photo moments. The butterfly park is calm and colorful — a perfect little break after the safari. The zoo is quite large with a good variety of animals and birds, though a few enclosures could definitely use better maintenance. Overall, I’d absolutely recommend this place for families, kids, or anyone who wants a quick nature-and-wildlife getaway near the city. Just reach early, carry water, and keep a little patience — it makes the whole experience so much better.

Last week, I visited the Biological Zoo with my family. It was a very exciting and memorable trip. We saw many animals like lions, tigers, elephants, deer, giraffes and colorful birds. The best part of our visit was the safari. It was really thrilling to see the wild animals moving freely in the open area. We saw lions and tigers very closely from the safari bus and it felt like a real jungle adventure. The zoo was clean and well maintained. The staff guided us properly and we enjoyed taking many photos and videos together. It was a fun and educational experience for the whole family. I would love to visit again, especially for the safari ride.

Bannerghatta Biological Park is a great place for a family day out. The zoo is well-maintained, with a good variety of animals like lions, tigers, elephants, and reptiles. The safari experience is the highlight — you get to see animals roaming freely in a natural habitat, which feels exciting and safe. Better to pre book tge tickets through online from their official page. Also suggest to visit morning first slot.Walkways are clean, and there are plenty of resting spots and food stalls. Weekends can be crowded, so visiting early morning is best. Overall, a wonderful and educational place for kids and adults.

It was amazing experience we went in the noon at 2:30pm for safari and it was so lively experience and kid will really enjoy this. The safari takes 45min and its amazing experience and the zoo inside there are many caged animals snakes as well. Well maintained and hygienic. Be aware there are mosquitoes be cautioned while takings kids mainly

Visited Bannerghatta Biological Park in the morning, parking available for bikes (paid). The entry area has small local shops selling snacks, water, sugarcane juice, and fruits depending on the season. Took the safari bus after a long queue , it’s a unique experience being inside a cage while animals roam free outside! However, seats with caged windows make photography difficult, and animal sightings depend on luck. After the safari, visited the Butterfly Garden (fewer butterflies than expected) and had lunch at the canteen , limited food options. The zoo area is like any other, with various animals in enclosures. Overall, it’s a nice day trip to see wildlife closely. Appreciate the government’s efforts in forest and animal conservation.

I recently visited Bannerghatta National Park, and honestly, it felt a bit overhyped. From the photos and reviews, I expected a proper wildlife experience, but in reality, it was more like an average zoo with a bus ride added in. We booked the safari bus since jeeps weren’t available, and that was fine — but the safari itself was quite disappointing. The entire 20–30 minute ride had barely 4–5 types of animals — deer, elephants, leopards, lions, and a small bear. It didn’t feel like we were in a natural habitat at all. The zones were just large fenced areas with a few animals each. For example, you start with deer and elephants, then after passing a gate you reach the leopard zone, where maybe 3–4 leopards can be seen resting near shelters. Same goes for lions and bears. It honestly felt like a zoo with a bus tour instead of walking. After the safari, we went to the zoo area, which was okay but again nothing great. There were only one or two animals of each species — a single giraffe, one tiger, one lion, etc. Variety was there, but it didn’t feel lively or well-maintained. The butterfly park was the best part of the entire visit. The entry fee was ₹50 per person, and it was worth it. The dome area filled with butterflies and greenery looked beautiful and peaceful — definitely the highlight of the day. Overall, Bannerghatta National Park is good for a one-time visit or a short family outing near Bangalore, but if you’re expecting a real safari or wildlife experience, you’ll probably be disappointed.

So peaceful. We were lucky that Gurudev was there when we visited. So inquire first before going there. You can shop there, there are meditation centres, temples and everything. You must have 1 whole day to visit it properly.

Most beautiful and happening place. Helpful for peace of mind and to enhance your dynamism...with yoga , meditation and best prasadam. Heaven on earth ! I have been visiting this place from last 15 yrs.. and never felt boared to revisit this again. You can feel all these magical when you step inside the gate.. worth to visit!

Nice place to visit. It is a place where you can feel the eternal peace. I visited during 4 p.m. to 6.30 p.m. and saw lighting, alongwith water sprayers. There is a small children park for sliding, swinging. You can sit, have snacks, can do shopping of Sri Sri branded products, and buy ayurvedic medicines with nadi pariksha. 3 to 4 hours is sufficient time to spend if you are going with with family.

Beautiful place ! ❤️ There are Gurukul, vishalakshi mantapam, small temple are situated. One day visit to explore the things over there. The place is situated for more than 3-4 acres I believe.

Huge place with a calming ambience with lots of nature and fresh air. Nice place to do some mindfulness practice and take some pics. Can get busy during weekends or if the founder is around in the center.

I'm from Vietnam and I came here for the Silence Program. I had a great experience here. The environment is clean, the air is fresh, the people are friendly, the vibration is peaceful... The Ashram is very contrast with the outside world.

HAPPINESS IS FREE. This is a factual review of my experience. First, I was treated with utmost love and respect and kindness by almost every staff member I met here (especially the ones serving the food!). The grounds are pretty, there is a large building being built and the traffic is not *too* loud. I was told I could stay in the accommodations for free and try a course, so I went to speak at the reception (I was also interested in volunteering). I had to fill out several forms and when I was done, I was informed the "Happiness course" was $440 USD. In the USA, that is a lot of money. In India, you could feed a family for a year. It's just a touristy cult/scam that I wouldn't ever return to or recommend to anyone.

One of the best amusement parks in the country. Some rides are really high on thrill and adrenaline rush, especially their roller coaster- recoil, the twister, maverik etc. You must not miss the newly added adventure ride- Interstellar which is an experience in itself. The giant wheel at the 13th floor gives the best view of the park and the city. The waterpark isn’t great but has some good water slides and rides you can try. For extra fun you can try the rain dance shows, & especially the wave pool with the dj is so much fun. The best part is they hae made a division in the pool with 2 sides, one for family, couple, women; and other for only men. The crew keeps a check that everyone follows the rules properly and behaves. Some things to keep in mind. Some rides can have queues in rush time, but its doable; as the fastrack tickets are double the cost and not worth it as you can still do all rides without it, just make sure you reach before noon and are there till atleast 6pm. Noone specifically checked the costume for waterpark, but carry appropriate material clothes to enjoy the most, or you’ll have t o buy them at 350 bucks. The locker costs 350 rs, with an additional 50 bucks of the magnetic key watch band. There are multiple food joints and options to eat from. You’ll also find souvenir shops. Wait till post the sunset to see the beauty of the park in lights. You can take certain buses plying to and back from the park to city. Overall its a great experience and a must go to atleast once if you are adventurous soul.

Fantastic Experience at Bangalore Amusement Park! I had an absolutely amazing time at Bangalore Amusement Park! The place is beautifully maintained, clean, and filled with thrilling rides for all age groups. From roller coasters to water rides, every attraction was well-managed and safe. The staff were courteous, helpful, and ensured everyone had a great experience. The food court had plenty of delicious options, and the overall ambiance made it a perfect day out with family and friends. The park is vibrant, fun, and definitely worth visiting again. Highly recommended for anyone looking for excitement and entertainment in Bangalore! 🎢🎡🎠

Check offers before Booking! This place is really good for a day outing, don't start from the first ride, watch YouTube videos to see which one you don't wanna miss and be in queue for those in the start. First of all reach the place by 10 am to be aware of what to do, and how to go ahead. Normal queue Wait time is 30-70 minutes on each ride after 11:30. So decide wisely don't waste your time on not so worthy rides. We included three meals, it was a good decision so we didn't waste time deciding, what to eat. My recommendations at least include noon meal, so you can enjoy it and during the evening it will be your wish for what you wanna eat after rides. Take the longest hours, it's hardly the matter of 100-200/- rs but then after dinner also you may be able to do some fun rides if not water rides. Take the locker in advance or one of you may end up just looking after your stuff. Wear water rides approved clothing from the start , so you don't waste time changing clothes again and again. Wear rubber slippers/ crocs, it's easy for you to move around.

I recently went to Wonderla Bengaluru, and honestly, it was an amazing experience! One of the best amusement parks I’ve ever been to. The place is super clean, well maintained, and packed with rides that’ll give you both adrenaline rush and pure fun. The new Mission Interstellar ride totally blew my mind! It’s India’s first space themed ride and the huge screen makes you feel like you’re actually floating in space definitely a must-try. Apart from that, the high thrill rides like Recoil were just insane. The water park section was also great the slides, the wave pool, the lazy river everything was just perfect for cooling off and chilling. The staff were polite and helpful throughout the day, and the locker and changing facilities were neat and clean. I also liked the food options inside decent variety and not too overpriced, which was nice. Overall, I had an absolute blast here! Whether you’re going with friends, family, or your partner, Wonderla guarantees a full day of fun, thrill, and amazing memories. Totally worth it! 🙌

We recently visited *Wonderla Bangalore* with a group of four friends on a **Sunday weekend**, and it was an amazing experience! Since Wonderla was celebrating its **20th anniversary**, they had a special **Buy 2 Get 2 Free offer**, so the crowd was quite full — but the fun was totally worth it! The park is **very clean, green, and peaceful**, with a lot of energy and excitement all around. We enjoyed both **dry rides and water games** — each one gave us a thrill! The **rain dance** and **Rizal Coaster** were especially unforgettable and gave us real goosebumps. There are **lockers available**, and **drinking water** is easily accessible throughout the park, which is really convenient. Coming to **food**, the options are good and available at **reasonable prices**. Just one suggestion — avoid eating and then going for active water rides immediately, as it might cause a bit of discomfort. For **timings**: * Monday to Friday: 11:00 AM – 6:00 PM * Saturday & Sunday: 11:00 AM – 7:00 PM In the **evening**, the **lighting and night atmosphere** make the place even more beautiful. **How to reach:** Reaching Wonderla is easy. The best way is to take the **metro to Challaghatta (last station)**, and from there, you can easily book a **cab or bike**. The route from Challaghatta is smooth and traffic-free, just about **7 km away**. Overall, it’s a **perfect destination to visit with friends or family**, especially in groups — the fun multiplies! If you love adventure, water rides, and vibrant energy, **Wonderla Bangalore is a must-visit!** 🎢💦🎉

This was my 3rd visit but first time with family and kids. Beautiful park, everyone should visit for fun. Weather was supportive so you could enjoy water games. There's new addition to the park - Mission Interstellar. It was mind blowing. Never experienced before. For all games there's 25% of people with Fast track priority passes are sent in. With Halloween passes, all land games can be played even between 7 pm to 10 pm while games for regular passes are closed by 6 pm. Park timings on weekends is 11 am to 7 pm. Everything is fine except Food. Its totally SCAM. If you buy buffet online vs offline, the prices are different. If you buy Buffet lunch at entrance is 419 while online and inside its 500+. Any food like Fried rice or Noodles with non/veg manchurian and large coke combination is 410/- when you can buy Buffet for same price. The quality of food is pathetic. After spending good time, we felt disappointed with food quality with menu options and with exorbitant prices. I have provided same feedback to ground staff to improve food. Hence reduced the overall ratings.

When we were planning a fun trip for our school children on the occasion of Children’s Day, the first place that came to our minds was Wonderla - a place we knew would bring them the most joy. Since our students come from the ashrama and study in a government-aided school, we reached out to Wonderla to request their support in making this day special. The Wonderla management responded with immense kindness. They wholeheartedly accepted our request and made it possible for more than 45 students to enjoy a fully sponsored day at the park. The children got to experience all the dry rides and water games, enjoying every moment with excitement and laughter. The team ensured personal care throughout the day, organised fun games exclusively for our kids, and treated them to delicious food - making the entire experience unforgettable. We, the teachers of Mahila Mandali Vidya Samaste Kannada Primary, extend our heartfelt gratitude to the entire Wonderla team for embracing our children with so much love and warmth. The joy, laughter, and memories you created for them will always be cherished. Your generous gesture will forever remain close to our hearts.

Very good place to spend a day's time with your team. You have to trek for 20 mins to reach the camp once vehicle is parked in the nearby village. The camp organizes a few team building activities and adventure activities like rope walking, kayaking and boating in manchanbele dam. But the fun part is that you are allowed to swim in the waters with a life jacket. They also serve decent Breakfast, lunch and tea/coffee snacks.

The main attraction of this place is water. been there for one day outing. Food is not at all good. But you will enjoy the day. Also location is beautiful 😍 .Rest room is too far and why there is no mirror?

Water sports activities are good but they have less boats now available and out of all boats few are not in good working condition, food was ok keeping in mind that place is far from normal living area, rappling was good, rope activities are also ok, staffs are polite, this place is mostly for adventure loving people rather than relax,dance,games(cricket, volleyball,paintball,etc) loving people. No paintball, and mud driving.

Nice place for team outing. Best part was swimming and kayaking in river. Other than that rope activities and team building activities were good. Food was ok. Avallaki in breakfast was smelly. Had to throw it as it is. Sambhar vada and idli was good. Reached there by private bus which we booked for our team. Bus was parked at some 1.5kms away from destination. Had to track to location from there. Since its an adventure camping zone so don't expect any air conditioning room or place to rest. Your whole day is going to be tiring. We started from Bangalore at 8 and reached there by 10.30. Evening we left at 5.30 and reached back by 8.30.

A beautiful place to get away from the city and camp under the stars. The host and their staff did a great job of ensuring we had a good time. The food was amazing! They have a selection of activities to keep you occupied. Overall a good experience.

If you want only back water swimming and boating experience then this the best place. Life Saver Jackets are of good quality. Food is okay okay.

If your are ready for a 1km hike before you get to the place, then this place is for you. XtremeZone is not all that "Xtreme". The food was horrible. A local villager we talked to said that they prepare meals in a very unhygienic manner. The staff was somewhat helpful. The owners have no regards for customers though. I would not recommend this place to anyone. The only plus point is the long drive.

This place has both historical and the spiritual significance. The climb is a bit steep but steps are in good shape and the railings really help for support. There is a dress code to be followed, shorts and sleeveless not allowed so carry a spare jacket, fortunately the administration gave us a shawl which was returned after coming back. The statue offers a sense of calm and photography is allowed but selfies and drones are not allowed. Must visit place for history lovers and architecture fanatics.

The Gommateshwara Bahubali statue in Shravanabelagola is one of the most iconic and spiritually significant monuments in India. Standing tall and majestic on the Vindhyagiri Hill, this massive monolithic statue is truly a wonder of art, devotion, and ancient craftsmanship. The moment you see it, you can’t help but feel a deep sense of peace and admiration for the spiritual heritage it represents. The statue of Lord Bahubali, carved out of a single stone, is an extraordinary example of ancient Indian architecture and Jain artistry. Its calm and serene expression beautifully symbolizes inner peace, renunciation, and enlightenment — the core principles of Jainism. The statue is about 58 feet tall and is believed to have been built over a thousand years ago, yet it still stands strong and graceful, untouched by time. Reaching the statue involves climbing several stone steps up the hill, which can be a bit tiring but is completely worth it. The view from the top is breathtaking, offering a panoramic sight of Shravanabelagola town and the surrounding landscape. Along the way, there are smaller shrines, carvings, and inscriptions that reflect the rich history and devotion of Jain culture. The area is clean and peaceful, maintained with great respect for its religious importance. During the Maha Mastakabhisheka festival, held once every 12 years, the statue is anointed with milk, saffron, and sandalwood — an incredible sight that attracts devotees and tourists from all over the world. The temple complex also provides facilities like drinking water, footwear stands, and resting areas for visitors. It’s best to visit early in the morning or late in the evening when the weather is cooler and the climb is easier. Overall, the Gommateshwara statue at Shravanabelagola is not just a monument — it’s a divine experience that connects you with peace, history, and spirituality. A must-visit destination for anyone traveling through Karnataka, especially for those interested in history, architecture, or spiritual exploration.

There is nothing like this place. It’s a historical spiritual temple that makes you forget everything and the statue just grabs your attention. If you are physically fit it will take you around 25 mins to climb the mountain but the view, energy and every step was so worth it. I hope I come here again and again. If you have some one who can’t climb the mountain you can ask for doli at main office. The dharshan is worth it.
