Ghati Subramanya - Bangalore's nearest spritual weekend destination

Ghati Subramanya is 52 kms from Bangalore (Bengaluru) via Doddaballapur (17 kms from Doddaballapur). The famous temple of Lord Subramanya and Lakshmi Narasimha is situated here on a beautiful hillock and is a favourite pilgrimage spot out of Bangalore.

It is believed that the idol of Sri Subramanya manifested itself here several years ago. The temple is unique in the fact that both the deities face opposite directions in the same spot. Subramanya can be seen through a mirror placed on the opposite side. Also, Prasadam is given from the ant-hills that are located in the sanctum of the temple.  Gopuram at Ghati Subramanya temple: Photo Owner: karthik
