History
The Kurudumale Ganesha Temple is believed to date back to the Chola period (9th-12th century), with contributions and renovations from subsequent dynasties like the Vijayanagara and Hoysala empires. Legend has it that the idol of Ganesha was found by a shepherd who noticed his cows showering milk on a particular spot on the hill. Upon excavation, the massive idol was discovered, leading to the establishment of the temple.

Very ancient temple with unique atmosphere surrounded by small hills makes it very special with rich history right from Chola kings to Vijayanagar kingdom.. My friend and I visited this temple based on his recommendation, where this temple lies on the same longitude with Pillayarpatti Vinayagar temple makes it special. Main Ganesha inside the temple is approximately 10 - 12 feet tall, and the decoration around him gives a good vibe. Included the temple.history pic for detailed info.
One of the oldest temple. Towards right nearly 8km from Bangalore mulbagal highway. Calm, peaceful and beautiful.
We visited the Ganpati Temple with family on a weekend and found it to be incredibly peaceful. The temple's ambiance is serene, providing a perfect place for quiet reflection. An interesting aspect is the four pillars in the main hall, which are said to represent the four yugas. It was a unique and spiritual experience that we all cherished. Highly recommended for a tranquil visit.
