Sri Maha Pratyangira Temple, Bangalore

Pratyangira Temple

Today, I thought of not going out and was reviewing some blogs on Indiblogger.  As I was going through some information, I saw this temple’s pictures.  I was very curious about “Pratyangira Devi” as this is a Lion-headed female god and looks very furious.  Temples of this deity are very rare and the people who worship this deity are also very less.  Hence, I called up the numbers I got from the net and headed towards the temple.

It was little difficult to find the address as this area is underdeveloped and is not a famous temple.  There were no signboards about the temple anywhere and even the people whom I asked were also not aware of the name of the temple.

This temple is dedicated to “Sri Maha Pratyangira Devi” and “Shri Jnana Muneshwara Swamy”.

How to reach:

By own vehicle:  From Kathriguppa reach AGS layout and go straight up until you reach Kengeri-Uttarahalli road.  From there go towards Kengeri and need to take left just before “Patalamma temple” that is an 80-feet road.  This road goes to some Ashram.  Near the dead end take left go up 0.5 km that goes to “Turahalli colony”, again need to take right after half kilometer.  Evening hours you can hear the devotional songs from the temple.  It is a bit difficult to find the address as people around will be North Indians and they are unfamiliar with the locality.

By Bus:  Take busses either from Kengeri or Uttarahalli and get down at “Patalamma temple” and go through the rout explained above.

Address:

Sri Jnana Muneshwara Swamy and Shri Pratyangira Devi Temple

Turahalli, Uttarahalli Hobli, Subramanyapura Post

    Did you see similar pooja and Homam wherein Dry Red Chiili is offered and we dont experience the pungent smell.

  2. Pradeep sarma says:

    Hello Dear Pratyangira Devotees,

    I am a very staunch believer & Devotee of Devi Pratyankira.She is a universe of love & guidance that you can only feel & experience.At difficult time she lets one go through the toughtest of times because that way Man learns to be humble….but at the end, if you are deserving human the mother will eleviate you out of all the difficulties.That is Pratyankira devi….

    Coming to the Homam with dry red chillies, there seem to be many temples cropping up all over the country with many swamiji’s & guruji’s performing this homam.Believe me the homam with red chillies is extremely powerful,with the power to ward of all sorts of evil,destroy enemies,but it is also extremely dangerous if done by any body & everybody withs ulterior intentions & motives.

    Before one can decide to perform the Pratyankira homam, Please be aware that one should never use the pratyankira power for individual benefits.

    I know of a case where the person bypassed our Masters instructions,brought another master to perform a Homam in his residence for individual benefit,he is now in shambles.Please Please never do that.

    Pray Pratyankiara with utmost sincerity,pray for the entire world, since you are anyway a part of the world community ,you are protected.

    Our Hindu Culture says ” Sarve Janan Sukhino Bhavanthu”

    So lets all pray Pratyankira with the above verse in mind and stay in peace,the world will also be a better palce to live in.

    • DevSree says:

      Pradeep sarma, im agree watever u mention in ur comment,she is most powerful goddess,she is universe in short..! We should never ever try Pratyangira devi homam at home..And u r rite we should pray for world,,”Sarve janan sukhino bhavanthu”.

  4. Roopa says:

    can any one tell me how to go pratyangiri temple uttarahalli from JP nagar

    • Hi Roopa,

      From JP Nagar reach Uttarahalli Bus Stand from there take the road which goes to Kengeri (uttarahalli – Kengeri Road) and ask anybody about “How to reach Turahalli”. In How to reach section, I have already put the route map and also the contact number. Kindly refer the same.

  5. Roopa says:

    thanks for your reply one of my cousing is told me about this temple so iam planning to go tomorrow

  6. bharat says:

    Hi,
    Are there any maha pratiyangira temple in bangalore which conducts homam regularly every month?
    Definitely I would like to participate

    regards
    bharat

    • There is a Maha Pratyangira Temple in Bangalore which i posted on but I am not sure whether they conduct Homam regularly. In Mysore, there is a Pratyangira temple where they conduct Pratyangira homam regularly. There you can definitely participate

      • Damodaran says:

        There is a Pratyangira temple in Amruthalli – Bangalore wher regular homa is performed on Amavasya day in the evening

  7. gajanand says:

    please give me information whether anybody could perform nikumbila yaga

  8. gajanand says:

    please any information who could perform nikumbila yaga

  9. malathy says:

    nikumbila yaga – Should the entire family participate in the yaga. Can our child who is 11 year old also participate in this yaga. or only the parents can do it. please let us know. thank you so much. Namaskar.

  10. Damodaran says:

    There is another temple of Sri maha pratankira in Amruthalli (after Amruthall police station).with Sri renuka Devi ,

  11. S says:

    Thank you @ the first post with the address of the temple located at Toorahalli, Bangalore.
    Nice temple, with shrines of Sri Maha Ganapathi, Sri Maha Vishnu, and Sri Gyan Muneshwara.
    The people who run the temple are very curteous, and provide prasadam almost everyday.
    The temple is maintained very well.

    The goddess, is very powerful and we have been blessed by h er so far, in the last 2 months that we have been going there.

    More updates to follow.

  12. Ron says:

    I have heard about the powers of the goddess. Any idea why this temple at Kumbakonam is built in the middle of 6 graves?

  13. murali says:

    Hi, its murali from JP Nagar 4th phase, bangalore. it is 2kms from Oppaliappan kovil in kumbakoona. any auto driver will take you there. good to be there on ammavasa pooja. This is the temple where TN Jayalalitha offered poojas when difficult times and she came back to power.

  14. Ashwin says:

    Yes.. Is is considered to remove black magic effects for people and is also extremely ferocious. And not just that.. The yagya that is done is of chilli. :) Its called Molaga Yagya (Chilli Yagya). Her favorite color is Violet. And her favorite fruits are dates and pomgranite. If you guys want to visit her origin place then please do check Ayyavadi (Ayvervadi) is a place near to kumbokonam. Her temple is located in midst of Grave. :-) However once we visit her origin temple, there is sure to happen good in our life. There are many other pratyangira temples in tamilnadu and also in karnataka. She is not so popular goddess. Yet she is definitely the most powerful goddess. :-)

    • Naveen says:

    What is the cost of this Homa in Turahalli & in Amruthalli/Hebbal Temples on Newmoon and Fullmoon days?
    Can we sit for the homa?
    How time does the homa take?

  16. Arka says:

    Hello Everyone,
    I am new to this forum and have been searching a lot for information on Devi Maa. I am person who has been under the influence of black magic since the past more than 10 yrs & faced a constant downfall in every sphere, finally lost my job in 2008. Have been to many tantriks, lost a lot of money & now basically given up hope on life…I don’t know what has god even written the story of my life for? Don’t know whether to get up in the morning or wish that somehow my breath will stop and this life will be over. My sadness is no longer at the person who did this but at the fact that why was the supreme entity just silent while my life is just dissolving into nothing.
    However, since have to live life cos cannot kill myself in front of my children, reading some of these articles on Devi Maa seems to be some light in the dark.
    Since I am not a localite my questions are as follows:
    A) This temple is the same one which is near Chennai as provided on this link .. http://prathiyangira.com/ as below :
    Temple Address & Contact Info
    of Sri Maha Prathyangira Devi
    Temple – Ayyavadi
    Ayyavadi Sri Mahaprithyangardevi
    Temple
    Sri. A.N.Dhandabani Gurukkal,
    Sannathi Street, Ayyavadi,
    Thirunageswram – 612204,
    Kumbakonam, Tamilnadu, South India.
    Phone +914352463414 +914352464452
    Mobile:+919442422053 +919047881000

    B) If not then is the temple mentioned in this article near Bangalore or near Mysore as i do not know where is Uttrahalli

    C) Someone has mentioned Nikilumba Yagya while others have mentioned that going to Devi Maa and praying gets relief, pls advise what is the best path, if some yagya has to be done then is it done in the mandir by the preists over there itself ? Anyone in particular I should go and meet

    D) If regular yagya is done at Mysore then it is more advisable to go there ?

    I would humbly beg any brother / sister who has been relieved by Devi Maa’s grace can point me in the right direction.

    • Hello Arka,

    Hi…

    I don’t know who you are but thank you for putting up this blog. I’m a devotee of Prathyangira Devi and attend the Amavasya Pooja every month in Singapore. I was in a fix wondering what to do for the 24th Dec 2011 as i was going to be in Bangalore on vacation with my parents. Instincts told me to google and check if there’s a temple nearby and truly enough I chanced upon your blog. Miraculously, when i reached Bangalore, i discovered that my dad had bought a car just a week back and armed with the Iphone GPS in hand, we set out in the morning. I must say we got lost for a bit but the compassionate mother somehow guided us to her temple through Mr Singh [whose number you had thankfully posted on the blog]. I’m also happy that this marked my father’s first experience at Her Homam. Guess his destiny was to see her in Turahalli. :)

    God Bless and Thank You! :)

    • Mukund says:

      Hello,

      where in Singapore is the Pratyangira pooja on amavasya day? I would like to attend. Thanks

    • LV Chenteley says:

      Hi… Apologize for the late reply. Prathyangira Maa’s Homam is held on Ammaavaasai days every month at the Sri Muneeswaran Temple in Commonwealth Drive. It’s right next to a church. Do join us.

    We have Pratyangira matha temple even at Hyderabad. It is situated at R.K. Puram, Road No. 1, Dilsukhnagar/saroornagar, HYDERABAD – 500 035. Here also Yagna with red chilly is conducted regularly.

  19. Devotee says:

    Does anybody knows where exactly Pratyangira temple located in Amruthalli/Hebbal? Please post the landmark and other details like homa cost.

  20. Mridul says:

    I have visited this temple today and its a beautiful place. 23rd & 24th February 2012 is the second anniversary of this temple and there is a big program organised for the same.

    Someone asked about the Homam with chillies. YES it is conducted in this temple.

    Another route to reach this place is keep going on Uttarahalli road and ask for Turahalli. The road diverts into 2 wherin one road goes to the Patalamma temple and the other towards Turahalli. Keep going straight on the Turahalli road for about 1 km and look for a Shani temple on yor right just after the Shani temple take the next right and keep going uphill for about half a km and then take left and then the second right to reach the temple. This route is easier and better populated as compared to the one mentioned above.

    Bus riders can take bus no 374 from Jayanagar 4th block which has a stop exclusively for the Maa Pratyangira temple or people coming from Majestic can take bus no 210 which turns just before the temple.

    A Word of caution : I say this out of experience and knowlegde about Maa. I have been praying to her for more than10 years now and She is quite different than other godesses in the sense that she may not like anyone or everyone to offer her pooja & archana so please avoid keeping her photos mantras etc unless she permits else she is Bhadrakalli and your offerings might give the opposite effect and you or your loved ones lives could turn completely upside down. Please understand that she is a very Ukkra form of a goddess there is a lot of energy/heat around her which might not go well with everyone.

I have read all the notes on the blog out here and want your advise and suggestion on what do i do with the problem i am going thru..i had met with a car accident in 2007 and have lost my right eyesight, nothing materializing on my marriage front because of this issue.I see my parents have also been totally down because they see their son who is still single at age 35.I don’t knw wht to do and why me?because of this even at work i am unable to take challenging roles and lose out on promotions which is also becoming a concern for me.Should i go and visit the temple and ask for help?I do believe in all God and am a traditional guy who does Pooja and prayers everyday.Please help..

    • Naveen says:

      Hi Mr.Vignesh,

      There is nothing to think ok its a good decision please visit the temple and keep the trust on the DEVI she will surely bless U just surrender yourself to DEVI she will take care of everything.

      If possible visit AYYAVADI Pratyangira Devi temple which is located near to Kumbakonam. There you can talk to the HEAD PRIEST he will guide you.

      Bye

  26. Mridul says:

    Hi Vignesh,
    Please go to the temple for sure. She is MAA and she will surely bless you if you just have blind faith in her. Dont doubt her please. The route is very simple. Whatever way you go you either have to reach Uttrahalli so either take the NICE Road as i explained before or reach Jaynagar and ask anyone how to reach Uttrahalli. You would reach Kengeri Uttrahalli road which will take you the temple.You might have to ask people on the Uttrahalli/Kengeri road as not many people know about it but if u ask them for Turahalli you should reach the place. There are a lot of new buildings like Shobha, MAX etc coming up in that area. all th best mate… MAA will surely bless you

  27. sandeep says:

    thank you very much. This post was very helpful indeed. God bless you

  28. Thanks a lot ,,, this post was very helpful indeed ,, god bless you :)

  29. Vignesh says:

    Finally I visited the temple today.It was Devi Maa’s call which made me visit her and offer her my prayers along with my parents .Am really blessed to see her and spend an hour in the temple.
    Got to know the route and landmark with the help of a office colleague who could converse in Kannada and called up the mobile no. as mentioned in the blog and was given the landmark from Banashankari temple( I have mentioned the route in detail below).Booked a private taxi and headed to the temple at 8 am from my home in Indiranagar.Reached there around 9:30 am without any difficulty in the routes, all the people in that area know about this temple and they guided the correct route.The treasurer of the temple out there was so very helpful and co-operative and told me and my parents about the temple and the devi’s shakti and why is the devi so powerful.As per the treasurer ,the Devi is worshipped to remove obstacles, black magic, dristi .On Amavasaya day Homam is done .
    We wanted to do the archana and had carried flowers for offering to devi, we purchased coconuts , camphor & agarbatti from the temple premises only .Also as per the treasurer when the temple closes at 11:30 am worshippers who want to burst a cracker can let them know and the temple authorithy will do the same on our behalf.Looks like its a tradition /belief for our prayers to be answered.As we told the treasurer that its our first visit to the temple and had come from Indiranagar ,we were told to wait till 10 am for the pooja archana to happen as the naivedyam was being done for the GOD.The temple has 3 to 4 priests and around 10 am the priests had the archana done after the naivedyam was ready.

    The temple is very clam ,quite and you really get peace of mind. The surroundings are nice, airy,a few apartments coming up in the temples vicinity .
    —–
    Route:-
    There is another route from Banashankari Bus Stand (around 7.5 km) to the Sri Maha Pratyangira Temple.
    - take the route going towards Banashankari Temple and Kanakapura Road where the metro rail is coming up
    - you will pass via METRO CASH & CARRY (on your right side)
    - You will pass via KHODAYS (on your left side)
    - you will pass via the new ISKON CENTER (which is under construction on your right side)
    - keep going straight till Gubbalala Gate ( Landmark : on the left side you will notice a HP Petrol pump and Shravanthi Kalyana Mantapa )
    - As soon as you notice that landmark as mentioned above ,take the right which takes you to a narrow road , this is the Banashankari 6th stage Main Rd.
    - you will pass via Mantri lakeview houses on your right side – keep driving straight on the road till you rach a junction
    - you will notice a Board in the junction with the temple direction and take the right turn
    - keep going straight and take the 2nd left turn
    - keep going straight and you will notice another junction and also a board with the temple direction towards the right side
    - Follow the same route till you reach Chartered Beverly Hills apartment complex (on the extreme right side)
    - Take the immediate left road after the apartment ad go straight and then take the fist right turn and towards your left side you will notice the Sri Maha Pratyangira Temple.

    • PP says:

      Vignesh,

      Many many blessings to you, brother. Because today if I could go to the temple, it is only because of your very clear directions. I see that you kept on asking for directions to the temple and got no satisfactory reply – yet somehow found it out yourself.

      A month back, I went with someone else with great expectations and yet could not locate the place (god knows where really I trailed off….that day I did not note the phone number too, so could not verify on the way), but today I woke up in the morning and told myself I am somehow going to locate the mandir. I visited this blog to note the phone numbers of that temple – and lo! I see your step-by-step directions. It was soooo easy to locate the temple because of you! You will definitely be blessed by the Mother for facilitating Her ardent children to go see Her.

      Thanks to you!! A small correction – it is Indian Oil Petrol Bunk and Mantri Tranquil – not HP Petrol bunk or Mantri Lake View….just so it does not confuse anybody who is keen to go there.

    Jeyashree Raghava, Bangalore.

    Instead of taking a long route I would suggest, alight at the last bus stop at Uttarahalli,
    Hire an auto (up & down – 6 kmts). This is the nearest & easiest way.

  31. rajani says:

    Jeya, can you tell me how to reach from utarahalli bus stop pls
    i am planning to visit the temple in weekend

  32. Bhaskar.k says:

    To Reach sri maha pratyangira temple in turahalli,
    There is a bus from jaynagar 4Th block which has a stop in front of this sri maha pratyangira temple. The Bus Route no is 374.
