Koti Linga Temple

One, two, three.... One lakh.... One Crore Lingas!!!

Koti Lingeshwara Temple is one of the famous pilgrim centers in Kolar District in Karnataka, India. This is situating at Kammasandra, a village 6 kms from Kolar. This is a temple of One Crore Lingas (symbol of Siva) arranged in different places and in different sizes in the temple premises. Koti means one Crore. More than 80 Lakhs of Lingas have already been installed here since 1974. Almost all the Lingas are sponsored by the followers. The main Linga has 108ft height.

We can see the big statute of Nandhi (a bull which is the vehicle of Siva) in front of the temple. It is a great attraction. It will take around 3 hours to see all Lingas in the temple.
I am sure you can refresh your mind and you can be with the god when you in this temple.
Now this temple is growing as good tourist place in Karnataka, India.
