Om Sakthi Temple, Kaggadaspura

There are many Amman temples in Bangalore. However, this Om Sakthi temple in Kaggadaspura is a miniature of Melmaruvathur Adhiparasakthi temple, I must say. The presiding deity is Adhiparasakthi, and believe me you will experience a vibration as soon as you enter the temple premises.

Way to the temple
If you are coming from Old Madras Road (from Indira Nagar, towards K.R. Puram), watch out for Big Bazaar on the right. Take the right turn before big bazaar and proceed for about 3 kms. As you drive, you will navigate through the crowded Nagavarpalya Marker, DRDO, Dominos Pizza, Mega Mart, Reliance Fresh and Nilgiris (on Kaggadasapura Main Road). Proceed further till you find a Sweet Chariot shop of the left. Exactly opposite (on the right) is 13th Cross. Display boards are present, so you won't miss it. Take the right turn and going down for about 100 metres, you will find an apartment by name "Rocking heights" on "C Cross". Take the left just before this apartment. The road is bit narrow and you will find "ID Idly/Dosa Batter factory" at your right. Proceed bit further about 25 metres, and you will find this temple. If you are driving a car, better to park it somewhere on the 13th Cross, as "13th C Cross" is very narrow.

Pooja Items
You will get lemon, flower garlands, Archana items, Kumkum etc. in a shop situated very close to the temple.

The month of "Aadi" is very famous for Om Sakthi, and every day abhishekams are performed. Fridays are very auspicious. You can book for abishekam or archana at the temple counter. On Fridays, its better to wear Red clothing. Ladies with Red attire are allowed to enter the "Garba graha" and perform "aarthi" / "Kumkuma archana".

Overall your experience will be blissful. Please make sure you visit this temple.
