Went to the Bull Temple first with a guide, then back with my fiancé. It is busier at the weekend. The priest is lovely. No photos inside the shrine, but if you put money on the tray you will be given a blessing. The bull is the third largest in India and is well worth seeing. Don’t forget to walk round the outside of the central shrine.

Another temple which is Bangalore's oldest one. This temple is dedicated to Nandi Bull. Inside there is a huge idol of Nandi Bull which apparently was carved from a single rock. It was one of the sites that our group visited as part of the trip.

We visited Shri Doddabasavanna Temple, known as Big Bull Temple, Bangalore expecting much more than we found there, after having read it was a 'must see' tourist attraction. The large horns at the bottom of the flight of steps were impressive, and the painted statues beside the steps were nice and colorful. The temple itself was under renovation work with wood scaffolding around it. The temple that houses the bull is small and the visit there doesn't take long. There are other temples close by, small too but makes up a little for the traveling there.

Imposing entrance leads to the bull temple. The information boards are worth reading. The bull is immense and quite awe inspiring. Very much worth a visit along with the Ganesha temple next to it
