The RVM Foundation Shiv Temple, Hindu temple in Karnataka, India
Description
The RVM Foundation Shiv Temple is a Hindu temple in Karnataka with columns and walls showing depictions of sacred scenes. The inner walkway leads around the central shrine, which is flanked by smaller niches holding oil lamps and fresh flower garlands.
History
The foundation established this temple as part of a project to create spiritual and social meeting points in the region. Since then, religious instruction and community gatherings have been held here.
Culture
The name refers to the god Shiva, whose presence is visible through the central image in the main shrine. Devotees touch the stone threshold on each visit, creating a polished trace that speaks of many years of devotion.
Practical
Shoes must be left at the entrance before entering, and quiet clothing is expected during prayer times. The rooms are accessible via flat steps and an open courtyard that also serves as an orientation point.
Did you know?
In the middle room, visitors gather to recite the thousand names of Shiva, a ritual that takes place especially during certain lunar phases. Each name is spoken slowly and accompanied by the sound of a small bell.
