| Karnataka | KammasandraKotilingeshwara Temple
Surrounded by verdant greenery, Kammasandra is famous for its Kotilingeshwara temple. The temple houses 108 ft tall Shivling and 35 ft tall Basava. The shrine is surrounded by lakhs of small shivlings, which spread over an area of 15 acres. These icons are installed by the devotees to seek the blessings of the lord. The entrance from the highway to the central courtyard is majestic. Other major attractions here are ancient temples dedicated to Sri Manjunatheshwara,
Trimurti, Ashta-Lakshmi, Subramanya, the Navagrahas and many other deities. A three hour journey from Bangalore brings one to this place.
