Questions

by sunset_gal

Hi,

I have a day, probably two in Bangalore in Jan. What are the main things to see? I read some sites and guidebooks and all seemed to point the reader outside the city, to Mysore. Is there really nothing to see in the city?

How convenient is it to get to Mysore? Is a day trip enough or should I stay the night there?

This would be my first time traveling to India and would appreciate any tips! Thanks.

Travel Tips for Bangalore

Use autos

by worshik

Buses are over crowded.Autos are the best way of commuting.Use metered autos.Settle the fares before boarding the auto.

Trains can be used only if you are travelling outside Bangalore.

Bangalore tourism has daily sight seeing trips in and around bangalore.Try using government trips or trips arranged by hotels.
Private tours can be misleading.

Nandi Temple

by Willettsworld

One of Bangalore main attractions, this temple is exclusively used for the worship of the sacred bull in Hinduism, known as Nandi, Lord Shiva's vahana, or animal mount. The word "Nandi" means "joyful" in the Sanskrit language.

The temple was built in 1537 by a local ruler under the Vijayanagara empire in the Vijayanagara architectural style. The ruler, a feudatory chief named Kempe Gowda, also founded the city of Bangalore. The temple is named after the large granite Nandi monolith placed on a plinth in the temple shrine (garbhagriha) which has become blackened from years of being rubbed with charcoal and oil. It is believed to be the largest Nandi murthis in the world with a height of approximately 15 ft (4.6 m) and a length of approximately 20 feet (6.1 m). The temple is a small one, consisting only of the shrine fronted by a porch in the Vijayanagara style. The current tower over the shrine was constructed in the early 20th century and is adorned with Saivite figures and motifs.
