Bhoga Nandeeshwara Temple, Hindu temple at Nandi Hills, India

The temple complex contains three primary shrines with granite pillars, black stone carvings, and multiple mantapas spread across its extensive grounds.

The construction began in the 9th century under Nolamba dynasty, with subsequent additions by Ganga, Chola, Hoysala, and Vijayanagara rulers through centuries.

The three main shrines represent different phases of Lord Shiva's existence: Arunachaleswara for childhood, Bhoga Nandeeshwara for youth, and Uma-Maheshwara for marriage.

The temple stands 60 kilometers from Bangalore with regular bus services and auto-rickshaw connections from nearby transportation hubs.

The Sringeri Teertha temple pond originated when the divine bull Nandi created a water source by pushing its horn into the earth.
