Our team took off to Tumkur via Bangalore national highway , took the diversion at Kunigal -Shimoga awesome highway roads and reached this spot covering about 70 kms from city. It was morning 9.30 AM and the temple main sanctum wasn't open. We had to wait for about 30 min for priests to open the main sanctum and start poojas.
Meanwhile we took a stroll across temple corridors , welcomed by a stone dwaja stambha in front of temple , area covers about half an acre with ample space for parking . On entering , in front is a main sanctum of Lord Narasimha , surrounded by mantaps having idols of Hanuman , Navagraha. One can take a view of terrace gopuram taking the stairs. Temple environment was totally calm.
