One of Bangalores oldest temples, dating back to the 5th century.This temple contains one of the earliest references to Bangalore. The contrast between antique historical structures and contemporary temple entrances is breathtaking.Lord Shiva is the subject of a centuries-old temple devoted to him. The sanctum santorum contains five lingas, hence the name Pancha Lingeshwara temple. Artifacts dating back thousands of years are still preserved here. The temple is undergoing renovations and requires special attention.The 1600-year-old Nagareshwara temple in Bengaluru is a good spot to visit if you want to view one of Bengalurus historical temples. The most recent Gopura construction has now been completed on all four sides of the entrance. Done a fantastic job. One of the best sacred places for peace-loving people, as well as a kid-friendly environment. This ancient sanctuary has a prominent place in Karnatakas history. For students, this is a must-see.

Place under construction, looks really badThis can be much better given its grand history

One of the oldest temples in Bangalore dating back to the 5th century. One of the oldest reference to Bangalore was found in this temple. Old heritage structures and the new temple gateways are a beauty to behold

Peaceful place in the middle of city.......Just loved it

Heavenly adobe within miles from city. Situated beside begur lake this ancient temple is peaceful, serene and picturesque. Must visit.

The placr is good. But the approach road is not that great. Could be maintained better. Half a day trip

One of the oldest temples in Bangalore. Well maintained. Clean and calm.

Ancient temple that are centuries old dedicated to Lord Shiva. There are 5 lingas in the sanctum santorum, hence the name Pancha Lingeshwara temple. Artifacts dating back to many thousand years are still found here protected. Temple itself is under renovation and needs utmost care.

Have you been to this Shiva Temple from 9th century? Simply amazing!

Its a beautiful temple with great vibration of lord Shivs presence.. unbelievable experience...Om Namah shivaya 😍🙏🙌

Oldest temple In bangalore, and also the oldest existing proof for a place called bangalore , OM NAMA SHIVA

Good one. Timing has been changed I think, we went around 5 on Saturday, but all gods places had been closed inside, even main gods place. After enquiring they said like weekends will close like this only. . So if you plan on weekend go early.

Good place to see one of the Historical Temple in Bengaluru, 1600 years old Nagareshwara temple still its Good. Now latest Gopura work is Finished at Entrance of 4 sides . beautiful work done.

This is quite a old temple which is built is quite a big area. I think the government have renovated it as the compounds and all gate are totally new.However the best thing is the temple is still that ancient they havent disturbed that beauty of the temple.The place is very peaceful situated besides a lake.The only thing I found bit disturbing is that this temple has a big area and there are many construction under the compounds which the builder left incomplete.If they complete the whole things as they designed it on paper than it will become one of the best temple in Bangalore.

Oldest temple in Bengaluru with the famous Bengaluru Inscription Stone. Every Bangalorean should visit this 9th century temple complex with five Shiva shrines, and the nearby remains of Begur Fort, to get a sense of Bengalurus history. Access is from Hosur Road or Bannerghatta Road.The Begur kere behind the temple is another attraction in the area.

The panchalingeswara or naganatheswara temple is situated in begur. The main deity is lord shiva. Its one of the oldest temple in Bangalore. It is almost 1200 years old and the architecture is beautiful. It is next to begur lake. It has 4 gopuras in all 4 directions but right now only 3 gopuras are present. An old inscription found in this temple has the word benguluru. This is the earliest evidence of the existence of a place called Bengaluru. There was a fort in begur but right now only a small piece is left. All this shows begur was a big town 1200 years before. Shiva ratri festival held in a grand manner and lot of crowd will be there but in other days hardly you wont find any one.

Went there to check the bengaluru inscription stone that dates back to 750 AD mentioning the word bengaluru on it which proves the city existed before it. A new gopuram is built infront of the ganga architecture pancha linga nageshwara stone temple. One side of the road is good and good parking space next to lake. Peaceful during weekends too.

A must visit temple for architecture, temple ia very beautiful. Shiva devotees will surely be pleased here. You will be surprised with the sudden silence inside temple premises, even though its surrendered by main roads.

Place of heritage, ill maintained, like many other temples of heritage. No notes explaining the timeline or history of temple. But big and calm temple.

One must visit this temple. Now it is under renovation. Spiritual energy is intact inside the temple.

This is an ancient temple and that peace of mind at the premises is one should definitely need during the evening time. The temple trust could maintain the premises lill more well.

1537 is when Bengaluru was founded, as per the history books.A few inscription stones have been found close to this temple in Begur. And the interesting fact about a particular inscription stone is the mention of Bengaluru and the stone apparently is dated 890 AD. This indicates that Bengaluru was founded much before 1537.A visit to this place is an interesting one, more to see this inscription stone.

One of the oldest temple...

I believe one of the oldest temple in Bangalore.. beautiful must visit once.

Very nice and calm place...

Priest and workers are too arrogant with peopleAlso using abusive words against elders. Also threatening the seniors . We go temple to get see lord and get blessings not these abusive behaviours from worker and priest.

Amazing temple 🙏🏻😌

The place is nice and calm. It has 1000 Yrs old and the trust is redeveloping it. The main temple is still with old stones which feels like a cave. There are stones placed on the outside with notes as to which century it belongs.It has 5 Shivalinga and also statue of Ganesh and the muni who did tap here 1000s of years back.

This is an ancient temple of Lord Shiv very close to Begur Lake. It is a complex of five Shiv temples. There are three grand beautiful entrance gates. Ceiling is very low at many places and pillars inside are of rocks. This gives feel like we traveled centuries back. This age old temple definitely requires special care and maintenance.

One of the very old Shiva temple in Bangalore. 5 old Shiva idols (Pancha Lingams)are there inside the temple. You can feel the Divine experience here inside. Vilvam tree is the tree of the temple. Renovation is going on the towers. Located in serene place just next to Begur lake. Ample space for car and two wheeler parking.

Peaceful

One of the best sacred place for peace loving people , kids friendly. This age old shrine holds a magnificent place in the history of Karnataka. A must visit for students.

This is one of the oldest temple andIts very cool and calm place...

Beautiful temple after puja set for 5min you will feel relaxed

A historic type of temple which is many decades old. The main god here is Lord Shiva. Visited this place multiple times. Try on especially to visit during the Lakshadeep festive thats organised every year. I loved being here on that occasion.

Its one of a kind temple having pancha linga darshana. The main temple here dates back more than 1000 years...

Hindu holy place.... Must visit come old temples which need to be seen

Very nice temple

This temple dates back to 1200Yrs ago!! This is one of the oldest temples in Bangalore. Its dedicated to Lord Shiva . There are 5 Shiva Lingam in this temple which makes the name Pancha Lingeshwara Temple. This temple makes the history of the village Begur. The Temples Atmosphere was so peace and had good vibration. Its also hosts few stone engravings from the (g)olden age. There are few more stone engravings related to this in Bangalore Museum which gives us the history of this temple and the Begur village itself.A Nice calm place to visit, infact its must to visit place for those who are interested in historic places and monuments.

Pancha Linga Nageshwara Temple believed to be worshipped by sage Agastya, there are total 5 Lingas in different shrines the temple is in Begur Bangalore. An ancient temple built by Western Gangas of Karnataka, later improvement has done during Cholas period, locals has taken up huge initiative by building Rajagopuras and compound walls, but the orignal shrines is left as it is, which stand majestically . An ancient temple worth visiting. The temple is located 16kms from majestic railway station.

Beautiful ancient temple from the 9th century. Unfortunately could not pray to the deity because of strange timings. Go before 9 am or after 5 pm if you want worship.

Temple was closed when we visited temple during mid of the day. One can find so many old hero stones, inscriptions in Tamil, Kannada. There are many scriptures written around main temple in Tamil, consisting of Kannada words. Cleanly maintained. Road construction was in progress. Many references to Lord Pashupathi can be seen here. It’s considered as one of oldest proof for the name ‘Bengaluru’. Calm place.

The Nageshvara temple complex (also spelt Nagesvara and called Naganatheshvara locally) is located in Begur, a small town within the Bangalore urban district of Karnataka state, India. From inscriptions, it is known that Begur was once called Veppur, and Kelele (in Western Ganga King Durvinitas Mollahalli grant inscription of 580-625 C.E.)Two shrines within the temple complex, the Nageshvara and Nageshvarasvami were commissioned during the rule of Western Ganga Dynasty Kings Nitimarga I (also called Ereganga Neetimarga, r. 843-870) and Ereyappa Nitimarga II (also called Ereganga Neetimarga II, r. 907-921). The remaining shrines are considered a later day legacy of the rule of the Chola Dynasty over the region.[1] An Old Kannada inscription, dated c. 890, that describes a Bengaluru war (modern Bangalore city) was discovered in this temple complex by the epigraphist R. Narasimhachar. The inscription is recorded in Epigraphia Carnatica (Vol 10 supplementary) .

One of Bangalores oldest temples which traces its roots to the 9th centuryBuilt by the Western Ganga dynasty and the CholasThis temple houses the Begur Veeragallu which is one of the evidences that tell us about a city Bengaluru which existed earlier than the 9th century, meaning that the story of Veerballala naming the city after boiled beans in the 13th century was just an urban myth

3 star because of management over there.Otherwise temple Was really good place to visit... But management is very worst...They locked the door of shiva temple on the #Shivaratri occasion itself....😑Not allowed inside for anyone, you have to prayer outside nothing from inside was visible.I hate the management over there.....

Nice old Hindhu temple. Mornings, usually crowded and very clean and neat. This is just infront of the BBMP office Begur.Most of the things are carved out of stone here.

There are five idols of lord Shiva representing the five elements. The whole temple will be lit with lamps during last Monday of Karthika masa, which typically falls on second week of November.
