Sri Gangamma Devi Temple, Hindu temple in Malleswaram, Bangalore, India
Sri Gangamma Devi Temple is located near Kadu Malleshwara temple on 2nd Temple Street and features multiple shrines dedicated to different deities. The temple houses separate sanctums for Ganesha, Subramanya, and other worshipped gods.
Worship of Gangamma has roots in the Gangamma Jathre festival that has taken place in Malleswaram since 1928. The permanent temple structure was completed in 2004, providing a lasting home for religious observances.
Devotees offer grains, flowers, and fruits to Goddess Gangamma, who is believed to embody the sacred river Ganga and feminine power. Many visitors come to seek blessings and present their wishes at her shrine.
The temple is open daily to visitors and sits in a well-connected neighborhood in Malleswaram with good transport links to central Bangalore. It is best to wear comfortable shoes and respect local customs when visiting sacred spaces.
The temple gained wider attention through a TV9 documentary series called Heegu Unte in 2010, which highlighted its religious and cultural place in the community. This broadcast helped bring recognition to the site beyond local worshippers.
