Chikka Madhure

Sri Shani Mahatma Temple, Kanasawadi is located at a distance of 14 Km from Nelamangala on Nelamangala - Doddaballapur Road in Doddaballapur taluk. This place is also called as Chikka Madhure.

The temple is equally important and sacred like Shaneshwara Temple at Pavagada in Tumkur district. The temple is dedicated to Lord Shani Mahatma (Saturn), the second largest planet.

The Shani Mahatma Temple located at Chikka Madhure was constructed by Ganga Hanumaiah, a local farmer. The temple attracts devotees in huge numbers especially on Saturdays of Shravana Masa (Hindu Month).

It is believed that one can get rid of or lessen the negative effects of Sade sathi or Ashtama Shani orPanchama Shani on worshipping or by offering special poojas to Sri Shaneshwara Temple at Chikka Madhure.
In support of this you can see lot of people offering Ellu Batti to the fireplace right in front of the temple. 'Ellu Batti' means black sesame seeds are put into small pieces of cloth and are tied with black thread and this is dipped in Gingelly oil (Sesame oil).

Temple Timings: 6 AM to 8 PM. Maha Poooja is done at 8 PM every day.
