    Shiva is known as "The Destroyer" within the Trimurti, the Hindu trinity that includes Brahma and Vishnu. In Shaivism tradition, Shiva is one of the supreme beings who creates, protects and transforms the universe. In the Shaktism tradition, the Goddess, or Devi, is described as one of the supreme, yet Shiva is revered along with Vishnu and Brahma. A goddess is stated to be the energy and creative power (Shakti) of each, with Parvati (Sati) the equal complementary partner of Shiva. He is one of the five equivalent deities in Panchayatana puja of the Smarta tradition of Hinduism.

It is close to the city center yet in peaceful surroundings! It is also a great place for kids to be exposed to Indian culture. Overall a must visit place while in Vijayapura to spend a good relaxing evening!

    This temple is located outside the city where a huge statue of Lord Shiva is present and there is a very huge garden area within the premises which is clean and well maintained. There is also a small amusement park within the premises which has an entry fee of ₹20 for adults and ₹10 for kids. The security plus staff is very helpful and friendly.

    The idol of Shiva is really amazing. However no other thing to do there. Due to COVID the play area is shut and no rides for kids. Cannot carry outside food. There is ticket to enter inside. I believe it is Rs 15 and kids below 5 free. Overall only good thing is Shiva idol

  • 5/5 vishvajit G. 10 months ago on Google
    These statues height is 80feet ,these often serve as important religious and cultural landmarks, attracting devotees and tourists alike. Statues of Lord Shiva can vary in size and grandeur, with some reaching significant heights.

  • 3/5 Sushma K. 10 months ago on Google
    Nice Shiva statue, beautiful statues of various deities have been placed in the garden. Garden is pretty small, not much place to sit & rest. No cost effective public transport is available. Rickshaws literally loot you for money. Not a place worth visiting after spending high on transport.

  • 3/5 JustGame S. 11 months ago on Google
    This is the latest crafted tourist point. The Shiva Statue is awesome and food crafted. But if you are thinking of visiting this city for this point of attraction DO NOT DO IT. Nothing too extra here but tickets are too high in this place. And even they are charging parking fees also.

  • 4/5 Harsh Wardhan J. 7 months ago on Google
    It’s a private park having a large number of nice statues biggest of them being that of Lord Shiva. About 85feet. Conveniently located and easily accessible. Entry by ticket. Parking charges. Good for kids

  • 4/5 Kalyan T. 9 months ago on Google
    It's a park with a 85 feet lord Shiva idol and a small Ganapati temple and some other statues like nandi, rajarajeshwari Godess, giraffe and some poets places inside park. A bit commerical and amenities can be better. The camera ticket is not worthy 🎫 📸

  • 5/5 Prajwal C. 6 months ago on Google
    Beautiful and well maintained park with the statues of many hindu gods. The main statue is of Lord Shiva, which is 85ft tall. Ideal place for one day trip with family and kids. Entry tickets available at the entrance.

  • 3/5 Peter B. 5 months ago on Google
    Possibly worth a visit if you are an ardent follower of Shiva. Otherwise it can be skipped - statue while being statistically large is not sufficiently so to produce wow effect.

  • 5/5 Sandy J. 5 months ago on Google
    When art meets nature, a stunning reflection of a Lord Shiva statue emerges, reminding us of the beauty that surrounds us. Shivagiri is a temple that houses an 85-foot-tall statue.

  • 5/5 Sushma A. H. 4 months ago on Google
    Beautiful place. The lord Shiva statue is divine. Better to visit during morning or at around 4 pm as it will be sunny in the afternoon and would be difficult to walk barefoot..
