While
visiting
the
temples
in
Kolar
district
this
is
one
of
the
rare
temples
you
will
find
in
the
village
Kaiwara.
You
can
opt
for
returning
to
Bangalore
via
Devanahalli
if
you
wish
to
cover
this
temple.
Of
course
it
is
worth
the
rare
temple
to
visit.
You
will
find
a
couple
of
temples
in
this
village
and
one
of
them
is
Bheemalingeshwara
temple.
From
the
main
road
you
need
to
take
a
diversion
of
less
than
10
km
to
reach
this
temple
complex.
Legend
says
that
while
the
Pandavas
were
in
exile
for
alms,
this
is
the
place
which
was
referred
to
as
Ekachakra
pura.
This
is
the
place
where
demon
by
name
Bakasura
was
killed
in
the
nearby
cave
on
the
hill
and
closed
the
entrance
of
the
cave
with
huge
boulders.
You
can
see
the
footprints
both
Bhima
and
the
demon
also
on
the
hill
if
you
treck
to
the
hills.
In
order
to
cleanse
the
sun
of
killing
a
demon
Bhima
decided
install
a
shivling
in
the
downhill.
That
is
the
reason
the
temple
is
called
Bheemalingeshwara
temple.
Other
Pandavas
also
followed
Bheema
and
installed
a
shiv
linga.
The
five
temples
are
located
in
the
same
premises
but
dedicated
to
each
of
them
is
earmarked
distinctly.
The
timings
and
some
other
information
furnished
on
the
website
is
sometimes
misleading
depending
on
the
website.
The
temple
in
fact
closes
by
11:30
AM
and
it
is
said
that
it
opens
only
at
about
4
o'clock.
You
can
also
find
that
there
is
no
prasadam
being
served
in
the
temple
premises
as
claimed
on
the
website.
It
might
be
possible
that
the
temple
is
open
and
the
prasadam
being
served
on
festival
days.
