In this post , we share our visit experience to one of the ancient temples of Karnataka - The YogaNandeeshwara temple at Nandi Grama - which is about 65 kms from city center.
It
is believed the temples "Bhoga" and "Yoga" nandishwara represent the
life stages of Lord Shiva while Yoga represents the renunciation stage
of Shiva. We have covered Bhoganandeeshwara temple in our earlier article
This temple believed to be about 1300 years old is located on top of
the Nandi Hills i.e the final destination of the Nandi hills path leads
here and is the highest point. Devotees after visiting Bhoganandeeshwara
temple visit here. From ground level the 8 km curvy road which is well
maintained leads to this hill top spot. The drive route is awesome with
landscapes and scenic spots.
