This magnificent Shiva Temple is situated on the old airport road inside the old Kempfort campus. Kempfort has been demolished recently and Total Mall has come in its place. Behind it is the grand Shiva temple in a very serene environment. This is open 24 hours a day and is a good place to visit while in Bangalore. There is also a giant Ganesha statue in the temple.
The Shiva statue is around 65ft high and is considered to be one of the highest in India. The background is made to resemble Kailas mountain and give a feeling like in Himalaya. River Ganga flows from the head of Shiva on to the mountains. At night the Shiva statue shines majestically in the bright light. They also have a small tour of different Shiva pilgrimage centers across India made into a miniature exhibition. The temple is kept very neat and you will also find music concerts happening here in the evening.

Look at the people standing at the bottom of the picture to gauge the height of the statue. Read more on this temple at Mustseeindia.com. They have used photos by me in the site.
