It was exactly 5 years ago that I visited the famous and beautiful Magadi Thirumala Temple and remarked to my sister and Cousin that I would love to shoot here one day. That day has come and we( myself and my cousin Prashanth) have bagged a prestigious project for the Govt of Karnataka. The project is called ” Adopt a Temple“.
Well, we are shooting this Thursday with a full unit and today we had a Location check or “recce” as my production head proudly repeats all the time. The following pictures tell everything.

For all you weekend travel lovers, visit this place and you will not be disappointed. It’s 50 km drive from Bangalore and the roads are pretty decent. After the temple visit you can wander around into the countryside and breathe some fresh air and for the adventurous, there are many hillocks to conquer and snap away photos till your memory card chokes.

Magadi temple is a great discovery indeed! The temple’s terrace with ‘vimana’ or gopuram has been featured in a Kannada movie - ‘Santha Gnyaneshwar’ with actor Ramakrishna in the lead.
Also of interest to trekkers and devotees should be the Savanadurga monolithic rock-hill and the old ‘Narasimhaswamy’ temple at its foothills.

Savinadurga is a fantastic place for a weekend adventure.
