This is one of Bangalore’s most famous and well-known temples. The spacious temple surroundings with lush greenery and beautiful buildings, while located on the lane, attract everyone’s attention. Sri Prasanna Anjaneya Swamy’s main temple is situated on a hill and one has to climb almost 87 stairs. Lift services for aged and disabled people are open. A temple with three separate shrines for Navagrahas, Maha Ganpati, and Raja Rajeshwari is at the foot of the hill.
One finds a counter selling ticket for many sevas when you reach the temple. In order to do Annadanam, many people buy coupons. For any amount starting at ten rupees, one can buy rice. You can get a packet of Prasad at the entrance of the temple if you buy a coupon for Rs.50/- and above. Devotees drop rice into a large container before the idol of Goddess Annapurna. The nine Graha Devatas and their consorts and vahanas can be seen at Navagraha Shrine. A very large idol of Ganapati is seen at the shrine of Mahaganapati. Rajarajeswari’s idol is beautifully adorned with ornaments and garlands.
