MUTHYALA MADUGU, ANEKAL, TALUQ, BANGALORE RURAL DISTRICT

During one of my trips to bangalore recently, I visited this small but, bautiful waterfall near bangalore.  I took a KS RTC bus from Silk Board area by the side of  flyover towards Electronics city.  This is the bus to ANEKAL.  It took one hour from Silk Board bus stop. Then, I had a cup of tea and equired the charges for Muthyala Mdugu.  The people who speak telugu in the area call in Muthyala Madugu as we often say madugu for a small water pool. Otherwise, kannada people say it maduvu a sliet change in accent.  I fixed with auto wala for 120/- for round trip including half an hour waiting charge at the spot.

As I reached I saw a Hotel on the Hill top and now I have to get down to 300 feet to see the wate fall. by some kind of stair case not so good.  I reached the waterfall in a short time as getting down is easier.  I left my bag inside the auto rikshaw but, precaution was taken to note the name and auto rikshaw number.

After the waterfall just adjacent to it is a small temple MUTHYALA EASWARA TEMPLE WITH A SHIVALINGAM.  Out side the temple also there are number of Nagaraja and one Shiva lInga and nandi.  I prayed to the Lord to open up the eyes of Anil and Venkat my chldren who are now destracted by Maya and unaware about the wrong things they are doing to the souls of PITRU DEVATAS.  It isvery important to get the blessing of  the the departed souls of their Grand mother whose ceremony is just a few days away ie on Friday 9 Oct 2009.  I prayed to the Lord to forgive for the sins committted knowingly or unknowingly and grant all  the pleaseant things to my children, daughter and son-in-law.  I prayed to the Lord to bless my daughter and in my mind gave the aseerwad " SUPUTRA PRAPTHIRASTU.

MUTHYALA MADUGU IS A NICE PLACE TO VISIT.

The main temple where worship is performed daily and is in good condition is the Virupaksha temple.

Ramaraja was killed in the battle of Rakkasa Tangadi and Vijayanagaram was destroyed and the capital was shifted to Penugonda near Puttaparthi. I visited Penugonda another time during my 3 day visit to Puttaparthi for Srirama Navami celebrations.
