Hulimavu cave temple

The Hulimavu Cave Temple is a temple in Bangalore, India.

The cave temple is administered by the Sri Sri Bala Gangadaraswami Mutt. It is stated that a saint did tapas in the cave for many years and his samadhi is also found inside. One can feel the vibration if one enters the cave and stands before the samadhi.

There are three main deities consecrated inside. While a Shiva Lingam occupies the centre, on one side there is a Devi idol and on the other side, the idol of Lord Ganesh has been consecrated. On the other side of he cave a very old dhyana mantap is also found. The cave appears to be centuries old. When one goes inside the cave and sits in meditation for few hours they are sure to feel the vibration of the god and get mental peace. The temple is inside the naturally available cave inside the rocks . The detailed history of the temple was however not available but it was stated that the temple is as old as 4-5 hundred years and has been found and built by Sri Sri Balagangadaraswami mutt.

Visitors are encouraged to learn about and go around to each of the deities inside the cave. The samadhi with the photo of the saint is also there. For unknown reasons such temples have not gained publicity eeven though those who know the temple visit it very often.
