Gavi Gangadhareshwara Temple, also known as Gavipuram Cave Temple, is an ancient rock-cut shrine in Bengaluru dedicated to Lord Shiva. Carved out of a single monolithic rock, the temple is famous for its unique architecture and natural cave setting. One of its most fascinating features is the annual phenomenon when sunlight passes through the temple’s windows and illuminates the Shiva Lingam — a rare sight that attracts devotees and tourists alike. The temple also houses idols of Agni, Nandi, and other deities. Surrounded by peace and mystery, Gavi Gangadhareshwara Temple beautifully blends faith, nature, and ancient science.
