Itinerario
8 AM- Nos reunimos para desayunar en un antiguo restaurante, famoso por sus platos tradicionales del sur de la India. La dosa aquí es muy recomendable. Después de un suntuoso desayuno tradicional, caminamos hacia el mercado local. El mercado es un derroche de colores mientras los vendedores ambulantes venden flores, verduras, frutas, ropa, artículos para el hogar, baratijas, artesanías, utensilios. A continuación, en nuestro paseo por Bangalore, visitaremos una famosa tienda Silk Saree, que es el destino más selecto de la ciudad para comprar saris de seda para grandes ocasiones, como bodas.
Caminamos hasta un templo llamado Kadu Malleswara, que da nombre al barrio. Dedicado a Lord Shiva, este templo es un espécimen espléndido del estilo arquitectónico dravídico y fue construido por Venkoji Rao Bhosle, el hermano del gran rey Maratha Shivaji.
Nuestro próximo destino en este paseo por Bangalore es un templo mucho más antiguo llamado Nandeeswara. Este antiguo templo se perdió para el mundo durante muchos años y fue excavado recientemente por arqueólogos. ¡La gente local dice que este templo tiene más de 7000 años! El templo está lleno de misterios. Un chorro constante de agua de fuentes desconocidas corre desde la boca de la estatua del toro Nandi hasta la estatua de Shiva Linga un poco más abajo. ¡Hay muchas tortugas que se pueden encontrar en este templo!
Nuestro paseo nos lleva a Sankey Tank, una importante fuente de agua potable para Bangalore. Construido en 1882 por Madras Sappers Regiment, Sankey Tank es muy popular hoy entre los caminantes y corredores.
Nuestra última parada en este paseo por Bangalore es un moderno templo del Señor Krishna ubicado en la cima de una pequeña colina. La Sociedad Internacional para la Conciencia de Krishna (ISKCON) fue fundada en 1966 en la ciudad de Nueva York por A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada.Sus creencias centrales se basan en escrituras hindúes tradicionales seleccionadas, particularmente el Bhagavad-gītā y el Śrīmad Bhāgavatam. ISKCON se formó para difundir la práctica del bhakti yoga, en el que los involucrados (bhaktas) dedican sus pensamientos y acciones a complacer al Señor Supremo, Krishna. ISKCON hoy es una confederación mundial de más de 550 centros.

Mayuri is a pleasant and easy-going guide. Thanks to her, I had access to places where locals go I would have not otherwise know I could visit. After a peaceful stroll, we decided to focus the tour on visiting three temples and the flower market. I was lucky to experience a few ceremonies at the temples, including seeing a vow renewal ceremony and joining a Hare Krishna dance. Mayuri also guided me through the back streets of the neighborhood where I could observe the local life. Be ready to take off your shoes before entering temples.
Diwakar was a great guide for our Malleswaram heritage tour. We enjoyed seeing the temples and learning the history. The experience was a delight.
I am delighted you enjoyed the Malleswaram walk with Divakar. It was our pleasure to host you.
Everything was perfect, great tour, Diwakar did a fantastic job, very informative and interesting. I’ll give him a 5 out of 5 star rating, thanks Andrew
I am glad you enjoyed the Malleswaram walk with Divakar. Thanks for taking the time for this review. It was our pleasure hosting you.
The tour was very good the tour guide was very friendly and knowledgeable of all the places we visited. The temples included in the tour were beautiful.
I had an amazing time on this tour with my friendly and knowledgeable guide! He was able to answer all my questions about Hinduism in great detail and provided a fascinating explanation of the basics of this rich religion. We visited many beautiful temples in Malleswaram, where I got to witness traditional rituals and even sample some holy water. The tour also included a scenic walk through bustling markets and a delicious dinner at a local restaurant. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone interested in exploring the temples of Bangalore—it's an unforgettable experience!
Our morning with Vignesh was interesting and fun. Vigy shared just enough information about the temples to help my daughter and I understand, answering questions and sharing stories along the way. Enjoyed the break for delicious dosa and coffee. I appreciated the contact prior to our outing to confirm pick up at our hotel.
Excellent tour. Mayuri was a great host. Very knowledgeable about the history of the temples and neighborhoods we visited
Divakar, our guide was excellent! He knew a lot about both the history of Malleshwaram and the practices and rituals in the various temples we visited. We learned a lot. The breakfast/brunch was scrumptious and overall I’d say the experience was outstanding. Definitely recommend.
Great early morning (from 8am) visit to several temples, a small flower market and sampled some traditional local breakfast foods. Vignesh was very knowledgable and keen to make the experience pleasant for me. I was the only person on the tour so it was like having a private guide! Highly recommended for a few hours before it gets too hot later in the day. Note that no shops are open, but that’s not what the tour is about. You do need to remove your shoes to visit the temples so be prepared for that. We finished with a coffee in a locally famous store which was also good.
Mayuri was the perfect person to help us visit and learn about significant cultural sites. We really enjoyed the time spent with her on this walking tour. We would never have discovered most of these sites and highly recommend the tour.
