Bangalore,
the metropolitan capital of Karnataka claims scores of ancient and modern places
of worship for all divinities and of every faith at it. The spiritual aroma
saturating the salubrious climate hovering over every shrine, besides lifting
the souls of its citizens declares the uniqueness of their adorable culture.
Among the ancient shrines Annamma temple lying near Kapali theatre of the
Majestic circle occupies the first place and deserves indispensable mention. In
this centuries old temple, very old hoary traditions and conventions are
observed to the wonderment of lab scientists. The worshipful diety Annamma is
not Balipriya and so satwika puja is offered by all classes of people with
unprecedented religious fervour. She was the much - adored Grama devata taking
her seat in a modest shrine till recently.
On account of demonstration of her spectacular powers
in curing dreadful
diseases and relieving people from clutches of the Satanic forces, the number of
regular adorers increased and crossed thousands. And with their donations the
Temple Trust built a temple befitting the status of the Mother, And the city.
