Sri Kshetra Kutadri - Koodumale - Shri Mahaganapati Temple - Hindu temple in Mulbagal, Kurudumale - Kolar, India

An old and famous temple near mulbagal bearing quite a bit of history. Has a huge vinayaka idol, located in a peaceful place amidst rocky hills and has a big parking area for which one has to take a left around 200m before the temple. Management of the queue can be improved, waited close to an hour with close to nil movement of people for large parts.

This temple's history is wonderful to know about, and speaks volumes about the power of this place. Lord Ganesha is made from Saligrama (a type of fossilised rock) and remained in the open space until Krishnadevaraya decided to build a temple with a roof. Almost always empty, one can spend quality time here at this temple. Cars can be parked nearby. A few shops near the temple offer pooja items required. A must visit temple.

A must visit temple. Its 2 hours drive from Bengaluru. Temple timings are strictly followed. It also includes closure during abhisheka and alangaram. We had to wait from 09 am to 1030 am for alankara. But it was worth the wait. Also one can find the best rest room separately for gents and ladies just hardly 50 m from the temple. All the tourist place should have such a good rest room. People are good and it will be worth to buy flowers and archana materials from here. Idol is made of saligrama and is around 13 feet height. Archaka calls devotees batch by batch and will do pooja. We were really blessed to have darshan very near to the garbha griha. It was worth the visit. Also dont forget to visit the famous Prasad Hotel at Mulbagal to have tasty and crispy Mulbagal Masala Dosa.

However you can go by your own transport and there is some place for car parking as well. I did visit on a public holiday, there was a littel crowd, however it did not take more than 10 mins for Darshana. The place is so peacefull and you can meditate in the temple peacefully.

Temple management is very good. peaceful environment, well maintained park in front of the temple.
