Bhoganandeshwara Temple

Tucked beneath the shadow of Nandi Hills, Bhoganandeshwara Temple is a stone symphony of dynasties, devotion, and design. Walk through ancient corridors where time stands still, past sculpted Yali pillars and the divine Kalyana Mantapa, where Shiva and Parvati are said to have been wed. With every chisel mark and silent shrine, this temple murmurs stories from a thousand years ago — regal, raw, and untouched.

Amidst the foothills and rustling trees, the Isha Yoga Center offers a breath of stillness. Here, architecture dissolves into silence. Experience walking barefoot on cool stone, feel the rhythm of breath and mountain breeze, and stand before the serene meditative spaces — where the presence of Adiyogi lingers, quiet yet vast. It’s not just a stop; it’s a pause — deep, grounding, and timeless.
