Kotilingeshwara Temple, Hindu temple in Kammasandra, Karnataka, India

Kotilingeshwara Temple is a Hindu temple in Kammasandra in the state of Karnataka in India. The grounds stretch over several hectares and display countless stone objects arranged in rows and clusters that cover the entire area.

Swami Sambha Shiva Murthy initiated and built the temple in 1980 in Kammasandra, Kolar district. A legend holds that the first lingas were placed there by a former atheist who became a devotee of Shiva, a story filmed as Sri Manjunatha in 2001. Devotees have since installed lingas of their own, each bearing the donor's name.

'Koti' is a Kannada word meaning one crore, and the temple's name states its aim of gathering that many Shivalingas. Devotees buy lingas of 1 to 3 feet and install them with the donor's name carved in, and a water tank beside the main linga is used for abhisheka. During the Dasara festival in the month of Ashvayuja, a chariot procession and fair are held here.

The grounds can be explored on foot, with comfortable shoes recommended as the paths are long. The cooler months offer more pleasant conditions for a visit, as the heat can be intense during other seasons.

The 108 ft (33 m) Shivalinga is the tallest in Asia, and the Nandi bull facing it stands 35 ft (11 m) high on a platform 60 ft long, 40 ft wide and 4 ft tall. Devotees can donate a linga of their own, from about 1 ft to 3 ft, with the donor's name carved into it.
