Banagiri Sri Sidhi Vinayaka Temple , Bangalore , Karnataka
Giri in kannada means a Hill . This temple in near Banashankari 2nd stage and is on the hill top which makes it attractive. This temple dates some 15-20 years old and is famous in this area.
We visited in the morning and it was a nice cool experience. We were able to locate Shakthi hills , Hanumagiri and the new ISKON temple from this point.
This temple also houses a hall which can be booked for religious occasions.
Best time to visit this place will be early morning before 08:00 AM and later after 05:00 PM.Nice place to hangout with family and friends.
