The story of Shri Aadi Kempamma Shri Aadi Muthyalamma Vasantha Temple
Shri Aadi Kempamma Shri Aadi Muthyalamma Vasantha Temple stands inside Cornerstone Park, Bengaluru, in Binnamangala. This is a gramadevata temple, and gramadevata are the tutelary deities of a locality in Hinduism, traditionally worshipped in villages. The neighbourhood around you, Binnamangala, is one of the early settlements in Bengaluru and was merged with Bangalore Mahanagara Palike in the 1981 census.
The temple itself has no separate history in the record here, so the clearest thing to notice is its setting within a public park rather than an isolated shrine. That makes it part of a lived local landscape rather than a monument standing apart from it.
If you want to see it in use, come in the evening: it opens Monday through Sunday from 5:30 PM to 11:00 PM. That narrow schedule suggests a place shaped around regular worship hours rather than all-day visitor traffic.
You are looking at a shrine that belongs to everyday neighbourhood devotion, not a grand pilgrimage complex. Stand here for a moment and you can place it precisely: within Cornerstone Park, in an old settlement area of East Bengaluru, with local worship continuing on a daily evening rhythm.
In brief
Cornerstone Park is a public park located at the junction of the CMH Road and 100 Ft Road in the heart of Indiranagar, Bangalore, Karnataka, India. The BBMP (local council) park was renovated by Cornerstone Properties in 2012 as a part of a social initiative that has been formed to address social and environmental concerns of Bangalore. The renovations were aimed to revitalizing residential neighborhoods and communities with elements of functional design and ecological functions. The highlight of the park is the city's only outdoor vertical garden.
The park was inaugurated on the occasion of the 150th birth anniversary of Swami Vivekananda by Ananthkumar, MP and General Secretary of the BJP and presided by S. Raghu, MLA of Sir C. V. Raman Nagar Constituency. The Chief Guests include P. C. Mohan MP, Shri. A. Ravindra (Chief Advisor for the C. M. & Chief Secretary, Govt. of Karnataka), Savitha Ramesh (Corporator, Hoysala Nagar) and B. P. Kumar Babu (managing director of Cornerstone Properties). The communications were designed and developed by Circuit 9 Communications Private Limited.
