Very divine place to visit. You can feel the vibe whenever you visit here. The peace you get here is of next level. The place is neat and clean and will be crowded on Thursdays and weekends. a must visit place. The parking and stay facilities are provided in lodges owned by SRS mutt

I suggest people to visit this place during night times because the cool weather and the lighting adds up more beauty to this temple. The river flow is just normal now. Devotees take bath in this river and go for Darshanam. No entry fee is required here. The ambiance is great. It’s one of the best places for devotees.

Sacred temple. Well maintained. Would love to visit anytime to seek the Guru's blessings. Temple will be crowded on Thursday, Saturday, Sundays and on long weekends as well. These days hotels charge very high amounts which is not worth spending. So better book Mutt accommodation in advance and plan accordingly

Old temple, renovated and maintained. It's peaceful and darshan of swamy feels pleasant. It's good if you visit on weekdays as weekends are crowded but on an average you can finish darshan in less than an hour compared to 15 mins on a weekend. There are huge fans around the temple inside the complex, if they are turned on it's a good place to sit or else it's going to be too hot in summer. Men need to remove the shirt and baniyan before entering the temple for darshan.

It’s a nice and historical place. People are coming here from different state. It is located border of karnataka and andra. People here speaks both languages ( kannada and telugu) . Timing of Darshan : 6am to 2 pm and 4 pm to 9pm. Mahaprasad : 11am to 2pm and 7am to 9pm.

My favourite temple, which I prefer to visit in the 🌄morning when Abhisheka, Alankara, and Maha Mangala Arathi are all there. River 🚣Thunga Bhadra is located close to the shrine.Additionally, there is a large screen in the temple that allows us to see 🙏God in real time during darshana.The temple will close from 2-4 p.m🙀. Food 🍛is served throughout the 🌞afternoon and evening.

One of the most Divine places on earth. Just visit and experience yourself. There is also annadana (food serving) for free. You have the good food. Not much crowded. You do darshan for more than 2 times a day.

ಮಂತ್ರಾಲಯ is famous for the holy presence of the Brindavan of Sri Guru Raghavendra Swamy. Calm place .Kalparuksha , Kamadenu Shri Raghavendra swamy Temple. Adobe of hope for crores of devotees across the world.

This was the first visit to Mantralaya in my life! The corridors of the temple were kept very clean! You won’t any single waste items anywhere. The security guards are very cooperative and lastly the Prasad was very delicious! ❤️

This place is loaded with posative vibes. I had a very lucky and quick visit to this temple site. Blessed to have visited and got the darshan of this place. Very well maintained place. Has a large courtyard and a majestic walkway to the temple. The river flowing behind the temple adds to the beauty. The museum next to the temple is very interesting. It gives you an insight into our religions well as the vast cosmic universe . The various Lords / God and Goddess explained. Children should be exposed to this. Found meaning in why we say a prayer prior to meal, how to, and like. The body as a whole and its system too explained from religion point of view. Lot of visitors. Has multiple options to stay and eat. Must visit and get blessed once in a lifetime .

Mantralayam is so peaceful and well maintained place. Darshan is very well coordinated and none of the piligrims face issues or take too much time for darshan most times of the year. Lots of accommodation available.

Very much divine place and well maintained by the temple authority. This place has some vibrations when you enter the sanctity. Everyday there will Annadana (Free Food) for the devotees who visit Mantralaya. I would like to visit Mantralaya very often.

My first visit to guru ragavendra swamy temple.. its a divine blessings really felt blessed and happy... worst place is the river and the route to mantralaya.. we went from bangalore roads are really bad i dont suggest families to travel in night.. and never take kurnool route to return to bangalore...

It's a wonderful place I went from the Bangalore boarding bus at around 10pm and reached the morning 5am ... I didn't take any room there I used a public washroom and then went to the temple at 5:45 am I loved it because I was gone on Wednesday so no rush was there and peacefully I made darshana and I stayed in front of the deity more than 15 min and then I came back to bustand and at 7:30 there is a first bus to Bangalore I catched that and arrived back at 3:30pm ...It was a wonderful journey ..I have booked a KSRTC non A/C sleeper from Bangalore and return I have arrived on a normal KSRTC bus ... If anyone is planning to go for MANTRALAYAM this is the best I thought...

The Math is pleasant and divine. Walkable from most of the hotel rooms. Darshan takes less time unlike tirupati. The Museum is a must to visit. No water in tungabhadra at this moment.

Very divine and very powerful devotional place for Hindus. You will feel very positive and energetic in the atmosphere. The wishes will be fulfilled once you wish here. Rooms are very near to the temple. The only thing is that the tungabhadra river cleanliness is not proper. Lots of plastic waste is found, no proper maintenance.

Mantralaya has been transformed into a new look and hygiene place. We can't even imagine how it was a few years back. Now all basic amenities are available to the tourist. The service by administration is excellent. Rooms are always available for families.

Beautiful temple. Nicely maintained. The evening lights and painting add additional attractions. Lots of lodging facility available just near to temple. However based upon season and holidays they become costlier

Nice n very powerful God. Room' available. We can take bath at Tungabhadra river which is located backside of temple.

Rooms are not so good. They r just rooms. No not water in the morning, u have to get it from geyser from the basement. Not good for family and kids. If u r alone and looking for low budget then u can go here to save money

We just went for visit,we haven't stayed there.. when you enter the temple you'll feel like entering into the Heaven. We ate dinner it's good...

The Brindavana of Raghavendra Swamy: A Must-See for Any Visitor to Andhra Pradesh The Mantralaya Temple is a resplendent and tranquil temple dedicated to the saint Raghavendra Swamy. The temple is situated in the town of Mantralayam in Andhra Pradesh and is a popular pilgrimage destination for Hindus from all over the world. The temple complex sprawls over a very large area and encompasses a number of shrines, halls, and gateways. The most arresting feature of the temple is the Brindavana, or samadhi, of Raghavendra Swamy. The Brindavana is a vast, white marble structure that is encircled by a garden. The ambiance at the temple is tranquil and spiritual, and it is a fantastic place to experience the rich culture of Andhra Pradesh. I would certainly recommend the Mantralaya Temple to anyone visiting the region.

Just awesome place to visit. Very good service in terms of darshan, food arrangements for devotees, prasadam distribution. The road network needs to be improved a lot along the Bellary - Raichur stretch leading to Mantralayam. Must visit for Sri Raghavendra Swami devotees.

Very nice place to include in one day trip plan. Don't expect much facilities, we can enjoy if we have adjustable mind set. Cost varies based on peak timings.

Temple is built very good half day sufficient for a trip if planned correctly. The main thing is about cleanliness in the temple and the premises could definitely have been better. Looks messy not clean in main areas.

Went for a family trip. Blessed to have beautiful carvings on the walls of temple. Mantralayam is totally changed of its past view now it has been renewed .must visit place.

Divine place to visit if you are Raghavendra swamy devotee. Neatly maintained place and you feel very peaceful. Visited the place along with family. They have even constructed colourful pictorial story from the gate to the temple.

A place from where you think of never returning to your home. A place where you can come again and again but still will feel that vibe and connection with god. On the clean bank of Tungbhadra river this temple is must visit in south india. One of the best ever.

Sacred temple. I had booked accommodation from the temple website and also the seva. Good time to sit in temple is evening. Behind temple is the river where a dip should calm down. You also have a camel ride available near to temple. Private hotels charge randomly based on agents/auto driver people so better to book online through temple site.

It's a sacred n spiritual place which should be maintained so well with cleanliness...But it's too dirty and polluted by the visitors. Hoping so atleast in the coming days visitors get some responsibility to maintain cleanliness there!!!

It was Thrusday morning and we expected heavy rush, but the rush was normal. Had very good darshan of lord Raghavendra swamy Brindavana. Meal served was very hot and clean, One must visit the Temple to get peace of mind. In the evening we sat on the corridor and watched the pallakis doing rounds around the Brindavana. It was mesmarising scene and we relished it very much. I suggest every one should visit the temple once in a lifetime

Beautifully maintained, clean premises, efficient crowd management by socially responsible & dedicated staff and volunteers ensure smooth functioning of the matha, to say nothing of the deep sense of humility and devotion one experiences in the presence of the Sri Guru Raghavendra. No wonder this place attracts devotees in such large numbers.
