Mukti naga temple

The Mukti Naga Temple which is managed by Shri
Subrahmanya Seva Trust, is situated in the scenic
village of Ramohalli, a village at a distance of 18
km from the Bangalore city. Mukti Naga
temple at Ramohalli, Bangalore is world's largest
monolithic statue of Lord Naaga, This 7 headed idol is
about 16 feet tall and 36 tons of weight.

Even if the temple is new one, the legend of this
temple is a lot more than 200 years old. Shri Mukthi
Naga Kshetra has long been home for the Serpent Deity.
As per the legend the devotees use to make 9
pradakshinas around the "hutta" (anthill) where the
serpent resides to get their desires fulfilled within 90
days. The residents of this region have been referring
to this place as "Junjappana Bayalu" (Junjappa's Field).

Even now, Devotees are
asked first to do this
pradakshinas, and then go
to the Sri Karya Siddhi
Vinayaka temple after which
only offer prayers in the
Mukthi Naga temple.

The Mukti Naga temple is a temple complex and is an
merger of few temples and different deities. You may
see Sri Kaaryasiddhi (work fulfilling) Vinayaka temple
which is dedicated to lord Ganesha. Next to this is Mukti Naga temple, which is dedicated to Lord Subramanya in Naga avatar. On the left side of Sri Karya Siddhi Vinayaka temple, there's a huge monolithic
statue of Shakthi Dhara Subrahmanya. This idol is
about 21 feet tall and weighs around 56 tons.
Little further you can see Devi deities. Nearby, 107
sculptures of Nagas are kept in a covered passage and
with 1 large 7 hooded Naga at the center of the top row.
On another side of the road also there are a couple of temples dedicated to Goddess.

The history of Mukti Naga Temple is quite interesting if you go by the words of its priest Subramanya Shastri. The temple is managed by Shri Subrahmanya Seva Trust. A small office is open to reserve puja tickets,
purchase prasada and Cassettes/VCDs.
