Bull Temple

Built by Kempegowda in the 16th-century Dravidian style, the Bull Temple contains a huge stone monolith of Nandi (Shiva’s bull), which is always embellished with lavish flower garlands. This is one of Bengaluru’s most atmospheric temples, set in a small park and accessed via a shady path.
