Shivagange
Tourist Attraction
Shivagange
Shivagange, also known as Dakshina Kashi, is a revered mountain peak located near Dobbaspet in the Bengaluru Rural district of Karnataka. Standing at a height of 1,368 meters (4,488 feet), the mountain is shaped like a Shiva linga, which is a form of Lord Shiva.
A spring called "Ganga" flows near the peak, giving the place its name. The hill is a popular pilgrimage site and is believed to be a spiritual counterpart to the holy city of Varanasi. It is home to several temples, including the Gangadhareshwara Temple, Sri Honnammadevi Temple, and Olakal Teertha.
The Gangadhareshwara Temple is particularly famous for its unique phenomenon where ghee used in the abhisheka (ritual anointing) of the Shivalinga turns into butter, believed to have medicinal properties. Shivagange is also known for its historical significance, as it was fortified during the 16th century by Shivappa Nayaka and later improved by Magadi Kempegowda, the founder of Bengaluru.
The hill is surrounded by lush greenery and offers a serene environment for visitors to enjoy nature and spirituality.
