After completing our peaceful darshan at Rayara Matt, we planned a small temple tour around Mantralaya 🙏. To make travel easy for everyone, we booked an auto for a round trip. It cost us ₹1500 and comfortably accommodated 8 members, which worked out well for our group 🚖.
Our first stop was the Shri Anjaneya Temple, a newly built temple that I was visiting for the first time. Right opposite this temple, a Shri Rama Temple is currently under construction, which was nice to see 😊. It was a quick stop of a few minutes, but the calm atmosphere made it special.
This temple is just outskirts of Mantralaya temple (around 5 Kms).
From there, we continued our journey to the famous Panchamukhi Anjaneya Temple, which is located about 20 km from Mantralaya. This temple is very popular and dedicated to Lord Hanuman in five forms (Panchamukhi) 🐒🙏.
The place was very crowded, and darshan took longer than expected, but the divine energy made it worth the wait ✨.
Our final stop was the Shree Bichalamma Temple, located near the river Tungabhadra 🌊. This temple was quiet, peaceful, and less crowded, making it the perfect place to relax and pray after a busy darshan earlier.
The calm surroundings and gentle river breeze gave us a deep sense of peace. Feeling truly blessed, we started our return journey back to Mantralaya 🙏💙.
Overall its around 50 Kms Round trip around Mantralaya.
This temple trail around Mantralaya was a perfect mix of devotion, travel, and togetherness 💖. Each temple had its own charm — from crowded but powerful shrines to quiet riverside temples. If you’re visiting Mantralaya, its recommend taking one full day to explore these nearby temples 🙏✨
