A cave shrine cut into a single rock outcrop off Bannerghatta Road in south Bangalore, reckoned four to five centuries old and administered by the Sri Sri Bala Gangadaraswami Mutt. It holds three consecrated shrines and a meditation mantapa.
What follows is the temple’s own traditional account, transmitted through liturgy and local memory. It is recorded here as tradition, not as attested history.
The saint Sri Ramanand Swamiji is said to have performed tapas in the cave for many years, and his samadhi lies inside it.
