Shivoham Shiva Temple
ಶಿವೋಹಂ ಶಿವ ದೇವಾಲಯ
A seated Shiva statue about 20 metres tall beside the old airport road, striking when lit up at night and busy with devotees.
The temple was completed in 1995. The seated Shiva statue is set against a backdrop of the Himalayas, with a large Ganesha statue beside it. The attractions in the artificial cave, including the Twelve Jyotirlinga lingam experience and blessing ceremonies, cost extra, and the commercial atmosphere is fairly strong. Basic entry is free and the site is open all day. During Maha Shivaratri, devotees queue through the night. The temple is behind the Kempapura shopping centre, about 7 km from MG Road, and can be combined with the HAL Aerospace Museum.
