Sri Banashankari Temple stands as a resplendent beacon of devotion and architectural grandeur. Situated along the bustling Kanakapura Road, near the BMTC Bus Stand, this sacred haven has earned its rightful place as one of Bangalore's most renowned and affluent temples.
The sanctuary is dedicated to the benevolent Goddess Banashankari, revered as the alleviator of adversity and impoverishment. What sets this temple apart is the unique tradition of worshiping Sri Banashankari Amma during Rahu Kalam, a period considered inauspicious in Hindu beliefs. Devotees ardently believe that seeking the blessings of Goddess Banashankari Amma during this seemingly unfavorable time can dispel misfortunes and destitution.
