The Shri Banashankari Amma Temple was established on May 21, 1915, by Basappa Shetty, who was reportedly instructed to do so in a dream. The temple’s original deity is Goddess Banashankari from Badami.
A unique and major attraction for both devotees and locals is the special puja performed during Rahukal on Tuesdays, Fridays, and Sundays at around 5:30 AM. This ritual is a key part of the temple’s spiritual life.
According to a popular legend, this specific time for the puja commemorates the Goddess’s victory over the demon Durgamasura. The temple’s atmosphere is peaceful and devotional, especially during the aarti.
Located on the way to Bannerghatta National Park, the temple is easily accessible by both bus and metro, making it a convenient and serene place for spiritual reflection and to experience a beautiful part of local culture.
