There always exists experiences hidden away from the more fancier ones while visiting any place in this World. A visit to Adiyogi, Lepakshi and Vidurashwatha is one such experience. It is virgin, stunning, mystic, mythical, magical, mesmerising, magnetic, surreal, all at the same time!

P.S: Here’s the challenge – try this tour and if you do not like it honestly, we will do a Heritage Walk of Bangalore on complimentary basis!

If there was one icon of Shiva which has caught the imagination of millions of Hindus in India, it is this stunning statue, installed in the lap of nature, about 70 km from Bangalore. The Adiyogi Shiva is massive in size with a height of 112 ft with a serene, green and magical backdrop of rocky hills. The aura of Shiva, among the three principle Gods of Hinduism, is seen to be believed. It is the largest bust statue ever made in the World. This statue was installed by Sadhguru of the Isha Foundation in 2023 and is a replica of another statue installed earlier in Coimbatore. Already this site is drawing tens of thousands of visitors and soon would become a major tourist attraction in the region. Let us pay our salutations to Lord Shiva!

Ancient Hindu temples in India are steeped in mystery more than history. The Snake Temple at Vidurashwatha is unique & you will find no other temple such as this in the entire country! Snake Gods are worshipped to bestow us children & good health. Devout Hindus who are denied these, invoke Vasuki, the Snake God of fertility & get a statue installed in the premises, to appease him. So far there have been more than 15,000 of them and still counting! The very image of these endless rows & columns of these statues, with worshippers circling them, with monkeys jumping from one to the other, with devotees applying turmeric & vermillion, with priests nudging the pilgrims, are typical scenes here. Visit this temple for a mystic experience!
Vidurashwatha is also known as the Jalianwala Bagh of South India. 32 Indians were shot dead by the British on April 25 1938 for defying an order not to hoist the Indian Flag during Freedom movement. We pay a visit to a memorial built to these brave hearts!

Lepakshi is a hidden gem in the architectural treasure trove of South India. The extraordinary quantities of stones quarried, moved, sculpted & installed to build temples in India over 2 millennia stands testimony to the efforts & beliefs of Hindus. The Veerabhadra Swamy Temple of Lepakshi is one of the best examples of Vijayanagara architecture which evolved during 14-16 CE in the Deccan. Visit Lepakshi if you want to: See the largest monolithic stone statues of a Bull & King Cobra; Awe at an ornate hanging pillar with people passing their hankies underneath it; Marvel at the 500 year old paintings depicting Hindu mythology on the ceilings of the temple; Listen to the story of how Lepakshi got its name through a Vulture named Jatayu which helped Lord Rama looking for his wife; Admire & photograph the carvings of all the divinities & motifs adorning the walls & pillars of this 500 year old temple. If you have already visited Hampi, or, don’t have time to do it, this is your calling.
