History & significance A hilltop shrine to Kartikeya at Hanumanthanagar in Bengaluru, on the rise known as Mount Joy; its original panchaloha image is now kept on separate display while a later granite idol receives worship, and the shrine is likened to the Swaminatha Swamy temple in Thanjavur.

Not yet sourced: how to reach it, its sthala katha, who paid for it and a source beyond Wikipedia.
Those are gaps in our citations, not in the record of the site. A field appears here only once we can cite it, so an absent one means the sourcing is still to do — most of these facts are well attested somewhere we have not read yet: a gazetteer, an inscription volume, the temple’s own office. We omit rather than guess.
Most useful next: how to reach it . If you have it in a published source, see how a fact reaches the atlas .
