Dharmaraya Swamy Temple, Hindu temple in Old City, Bangalore, India
The temple features a monumental entrance tower decorated with sculptures and carvings representing deities from the Hindu pantheon and Mahabharata epic.
The temple's construction dates back to the 16th century, before Bangalore's founder Kempe Gowda I established the city in 1537.
The Karaga festival commences at this temple during March and April, with priests carrying water-filled ceremonial pots through the streets of Old Bangalore.
Visitors must remove their footwear at the entrance and maintain silence inside the temple premises between 6:00 AM and 8:30 PM daily.
The temple houses idols of all five Pandava brothers and Draupadi, making it one of the rare temples dedicated to these Mahabharata characters.
