The story of Shri Aadi Kempamma Shri Aadi Muthyalamma Vasantha Temple

You’re standing in a temple of the Gramadevata tradition, where a locality’s tutelary deity is worshipped in Hindu practice. This shrine stands inside Cornerstone Park, Bengaluru, and that gives it an unusual setting: a place of worship within a public park in Indiranagar.

The temple itself is called Shri Aadi Kempamma Shri Aadi Muthyalamma Vasantha Temple, but there is no separate account of its own history, so the clearest place to start is the setting around it. Cornerstone Park is at the junction of CMH Road and 100 Ft Road, and it is known as a BBMP park renovated by Cornerstone Properties in 2012 as part of a social initiative. That renovation was aimed at revitalizing residential neighbourhoods and communities, and the park’s highlight is the city’s only outdoor vertical garden.

The neighbourhood around you, Binnamangala, is one of the early settlements in Bengaluru. It was merged with Bangalore Mahanagara Palike in the 1981 census.

If you want to visit, the temple’s opening hours are Monday through Sunday, 5:30–11:00 PM. The address listed for it is XJHR+WGH, 5th Cross Rd, Indira Nagar 1st Stage, H Colony, Indiranagar, Bengaluru, Karnataka 560038, India. The phone listed is +91-7975526210.

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.
