Venkateswara Swamy Temple Bellandur
Venkateswara Swamy Temple is located in Bellandur Village near Marathahalli. The temple is built on the banks of the Bellandur Lake, and made from granite stone, in Madurai style of architecture. Near Bellandur under bridge you have to take right turn towards HAL road. After a kilometer the road diverges. Keep left for almost 100 m. This takes you to Bellandur Village. The main dietry of the temple is Srinivasa Venkateswara Swamy. There is an idol of Gardua infront of the main idol of Lord Srinivasa. Also you can see beautifully carved elephants on either sides of Garuda. Hanuman is another dietry in the temple.
This temple was the brainchild of Mr. K Jagannath, who is the former President of Bellandur village panchayat. Under his leadership, Bellandur village became a model village, with many firsts to its credit, such as online khata management and running water supply. Several other community members have have joined this effort by donating their land and also contributing in the day-to-day running of this project. According to Mr. Jagannath, the trust was always short of funds, but somehow the work never stopped in the last decade, thanks to a steady stream of donations from the devotees.
The temple is build using stone and had beautiful carvings in every inch. The main entrance has Dashavatara carved on either sides. Ample parking space is available near the temple and the premises are neatly maintained. Nearly 100 sculptors were brought from near Rameswaram in Tamil Nadu, to carve the columns of the temple. They have worked for the last ten years to bring the temple to shape. At the entrance, a majestic Gopuram stands 80 feet tall. A havan mantapa is set up in front of the temple, for the pran pratishtha of the idols and of the kalasas to be placed on the Gopuram and Garbha Gruha. Interestingly, this temple is adjacent to an ancient temple that was built by the earliest settlers in the area, to invoke the gods' blessings on the Bellandur lake. Mr Jagannath's grandfather had renovated the older temple in 1935. A remarkable aspect is that the trust is actively involving all sections of the society; right from the inauguration ceremony of the temple.
Every year devotees from vaious parts of the country as well as abroad visit the temple. There is also a small temple near the main temple, which dates back to 1936.
