A DECADE LONG WAIT !!! What it is???

Well, wondering what it is ?? Yes its almost a decade, since I last visited the Vijaya Vittala temple @ Tumkur Road, close to Nelamangala. It was in 1997, I had been there. I just loved the place. The Gitopadesham, Vishnu Avataara, everything was just spot on. Mythology at its very best.

Since then I have traveled along Tumkur Road, a lot many times, but never found the opportunity to visit the temple. Now in 2008, I revisited the temple, just to find out, nothings' changed in the past 10 years.

I had been to my cousin's place @ Nelamangala. Incidentally it was the house warming ceremony of his new house. On my way back home, I headed to the Vijaya Vittala temple. The first thing I uttered in front of the Lord was " Thanks god for keeping me alive and kicking for 10 years. " . It just came automatically. So finally the decade long wait is over. I wish I visit the temple more frequently.

    Hi Viswa,

    You need to proceed to Yeshwantpur from Bangalore, from then on take the highway, which leads you to Nelamangala,

    You take a right turn to nelamangala.

    But you proceed straight instead, a few meters, ahead on to your left is Vijaya Vittala Temple.

    The highway is nicely dug up, since there is a major flyover construction as of now, but traffic is quite smooth, since the service roads are in superb condition.
