With this pic, I am beginning a new series of articles called ‘Explore Bangalore’. The Shikhara or Gopura (gateway tower) clicked below belongs to Sri Kalika Durga Parameshwari temple near Vidyaranyapura. Specialty of this tower is the sheer height, it is 108 feet tall. This temple is very famous for the various kind of special pooja’s are offered to goddess Durga. I had to attend a wedding of my engineering days classmate and since I had a bit of time, thought of visiting this temple!
Within this temple premises, you can find 9 different avatars of this goddess. Also, you can find many more idols including Sri Venkateshwara swamy, Narasimha, Krishna, Hanuman, Vijaya Durga devi, Kalika Devi, Sharabeshwar etc., Also while exiting this temple you can notice Nataraja idol made of cement. You can also notice sculptures all around the temple depicting various stories of the Goddess and Shiva. Since photography is not allowed inside the temple, I couldn’t click any of those except the main tower. See the bigger picture by clicking on the photo.
To reach this temple, you need to travel through ISKCON, Yeshwantpur, BEL circle and then towards Vidyaranya pura via Doddasandra. Special Pooja offered to the god every new moon day and on Tuesday/Friday/Sunday during Rahu kal. The temple also offers free lunch to visitors on special days.

I am seeking maa blessings to her rid of my problems. She is behaving like a evil. Seriously beating my son who is just 3 years old for not learning A-Z alfabets. Not allowing my parents to stay with us and never accepts to see my aged parents. There are many things which I can’t reveal. I am crying daily. Maa plz bless me to get rid off these problems.

Superstition is the religion of feeble minds !! Mother is beyond all these beliefs, she is the creator and protects all with compassion, immaterial of days and time and religions
Amrith Sivaraman says
I honestly believe that no day is inauspicious. Every day is special for some Gods and therefore good days. It is all in our minds.
Mohan says
Totally agree on that!
Shaheen says
I heard about maa Kali and went last 5mnths ans prayed I wrote wish on the paper and tie to the maa Kali statue again 2mnths back again I did same but till nw I didn’t get any result
Chittaranjan says
You have to believe with whole heart and act , then nature/GOD support your act to make success. Some wishes never answered by GOD as such as , If a student spent his whole year on luxury and day before exam if he plea to god for pass on exam .GOD always give opportunities for us and lift you when you have low self esteem other then this if GOD give all our wishes then world moves to chaos and human life will became artificial which mean no life at all.

As I have posted so many miracles. Yesterday I had one more miracle. I fell down from bike and broke my wrist. They have fixed K-Wire and Closed reduction for broken bone in wrist. I was supposed to get operated today Tuesday. I had fixed without knowledge for operation. I was resting in my room. When I got a call from my shop. My manager told while they were doing carpentry work. Mata Statue fell down. It sounded as if some big danger was lurking my life. Immediately I consulted Poojari Nagaraj Swamy who was in temple earlier. He said me me on phone that since the statue did not fall on itself and while repairing it fell down. So he asked me do I have any other statue I said yes. He asked me to install immediately. As my broken hand was paining I said i am getting operated tomorrow. He said how can you operate on Tuesday. It’s not auspicious he said. I sent with my wife and son in taxi to install new statue and come back at 9.30 pm. As they went I pondered on why it happen. Then it stuck to me that Mata wants to change my operation date from Tuesday inauspicious day to Wednesday. Immediately I called Doctor and Hospital and rescheduled my operation date to Wednesday. I owe my every cell in body to my beloved mother. She Fell Down To Warm About inouspecious Day And post poned My operation Day. She Is Living God In Bangalore. Please pray to her and fulfill all oaths. And she will fulfill all your desires.
with regards

Vinu says
Why tuesday is inauspicious day ? Its day dedicated to Ganapati Maharaj .
Kartik says
You are right. Most of Tuesday are jinxed to even for me. I think if Mangala is located in bad location in our birth horoscope. It tends to cast bad spell on us.
pallavi says

krishna says
if ur problem solved ignore this.
watch program in BTV between 8 am to 10 am and if possible meet that astrologer.
as he said, put 1/4 kg of Godhi (in Kannada Godhi but i dont know in english) in Copper Chembu and give to Lakshmi Narasimha temple or Surya temple every Sunday (i think 9 Sundays).
keep watching his program, so he will the solutions to many problems
Srilaxmi Rao says
I believe in her a lot. Have gone through many many hurdles. Each time I felt I cant handle a situation, I would just visit her temple and sit there. I would get a fresh surge of energy and positiveness to cross all hurdles of life. I get goose bumps when I am close to her idol, her smile says that she understands my problems. Past 17 yrs I hv lived alone in this city. She bestows courage to fight all odds. She is my source of energy, I feel she is with me, leading me. She is powerful. As I grow older my love , faith in her is increasing. Ma Kalika Durgaparameshwari blessing is required to lead a peaceful life

Kartik says
Rest assured that she will bestow every oath you take. Plain heart with honesty will give results. But every favour done will have to repaid back to mata. Since Golden Gopura is in progress. Donate her first month full salary if you get job. But please verify it. If you are Muslims can you do so in your religious leader before venture into Hindu god.
latha gn says

Kartik says
Well indeed all my desires are fulfilled. Please write each wishes in separate sheets, and tie. Your desires will be fulfilled

I had come to this Kalika Durga Parameshwari with innumerable problems. Not only me but many miracles have taken place for me. Even my one kidney stone passed away without any surgery. Just prayed Mata. But you have to pay price for if you wish your desires to be fulfilled as Golden Gopuram is under progress. I have witnessed at least 30 amazing miracles. If any energy exists on earth it’s Mata Kali Durga Parameshwari. I am sure this is living example of all your desires to be fulfilled.

My wife is bedridden from 10 years. She has some numbness (no pain) in her right leg. She is fully dependant on her parents to help her in her daily routine. She is a victim of some black magic. I tried remedies with many astrologers, but I was cheated by everyone. Please help me to get a trustworthy, reliable & unselfish astrologer. Our family is in deep agony & sufferings. Maa Durga devi will bless you for your help.
Nirja says
Keep a durga sapthasathi patha in home and you may also recite durga kavacham everyday to get rid of all black magic and everything. Devi is very powerful she will bless eveyone just call her from heart everyday.
s says
Hi Sunil,
You can chant Om Namah Shivaya at home and you can others who are undergoing through that to chant too. Get a rudram chanting and play it at home every evening. If possible enroll to meditation classes at art of living and learn some pranayams and practice it everyday to purify your mind and the surroundings. These 2 will also help you great way.
