 Its very common for myself and my friend Manju to explore something new on Sunday evenings. I had heard about Naganatheshwara temple at Begur but had not seen it. Since it is very near to my home we though it would be a good place laze around on a sunday evening. Manju’s mom had told us according to legend the temple is of the era of Pandavas and Pandawas used to offer Pooja to Shiva. Me and Manju reached there early on Sunday evening. The temple was still not open but we got some amazing pictures of it from outside.  Collage of all the pictures I took on that day.
 Main temple side view. You can see the temple and temple well in the picture. The modern houses you see in the background is actually of Begur village.  Temple is not that tall. Its short but is spread across. This is one of the temple towers.  Naganatheshwara temple is temple of Shiva. So you can expect Nandhi.  Yet another view of temple complex. Temple has two small towers. I have tried to get both.  Nandhi from another angle.  Actual temple.Its actually very easy to reach temple. Its not very far from Bommanahalli on NH7. You have to take a right turn at Bommanahalli ( if you are coming from Bangalore) and the road directly goes to Begur. Ask anybody there for the temple. Good luck.

[...]  I have seen the temple earlier (on one ofthe festive days when it gets overcrowded. But your pics added a new dimension to it. Amazing. Would want to visit the temple again when its deserted of humans.

I was reading the history of BengaLooru and see that the Naganatheshwara temple at Begur is one of the oldest temples in the history of the city. Dates back to about 987 A.D I shall pass on more info on this to you.

 Nice pictures. Looks like a construction of Ganga kings. The inscription that shows the name of Bengalooru, was found in Begooru (dated 980 AD, and hence defying all those stories about the bendakaaLooru – city of boiled beans stuff. The inscription might even be here in this temple – I don’t know if it still exists there though. -neelanjana

 @neelanjana : Not sure about the inscript. If it is in Begur..then I will try to find out.
neelanjana on February 13th, 2009 at 2:45 AM #
As per this link, the inscription I mentioned earlier is indeed at the Naganatha Temple in Begooru. http://bengaluru.yulop.com/component/option,com_nicetalk/task,view/topic,16/Itemid,249/

 After watching the Heegu Unte episode , we too plan to go the temple this sunday. What might be the temple timings? Some temples close early due to Dhanur Maasa.
Raghavendra Kamath on January 6th, 2010 at 6:05 PM #
 Hi Thej, thank you so much for the info on this temple with photoes. We are planning to visit on 14th ie on Sankranthi. Can u pls let me know how far is it from Silk Board Junction? Do all BMTC buses going to Begur also go by the place where this temple is located? Pls suggest. Regards,
shyam on January 7th, 2010 at 9:01 AM #
The temple is about 3 kms from the Bommanhalli junction on Hosur Road. The main road is very narrow and serpentine. We were there by about 7.30am, already the place had a big crowd, finished darshan of all the 5 temples by 8.30am.There is board which says temple opens at 5am and in the evening from 5 to 8pm. The morning closing time was covered by a poster which said “way to swami’s darshan”. But the priest inside the main temple said they are open 4am to 9am due to Dhanur Maasa but would extend the opening hours by another hour or two as the crowd was growing larger and larger by the minute. Not sure if its the Heego Unte effect or sunday Jan 3rd was sankashti.
