The story of Shri Abhayahastha Ganapathi Temple

Shri Abhayahastha Ganapathi Temple stands in Devarabisanahalli, in Bellandur, a suburb in south-east Bangalore, Karnataka, India. The neighbourhood around you is bounded by HSR Layout to the west, Devarabisanahalli to the east, Sarjapur Road to the south, and Bellandur Lake to the north.

This is a Hindu temple to Ganapathi, and the one firm detail for a visitor is its opening pattern: it is open Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday from 6:30 AM to 11:00 AM and again from 5:30 PM to 8:30 PM, while Tuesday runs from 6:15 AM to 8:30 PM.

Justdial lists a place of this name at Devarabisanahalli, Bengaluru, Bellandur, Bangalore-560103, Karnataka, but gives no separate history for the temple itself. So what you are looking at here is best understood through its setting and use rather than a documented building story.

If you are planning a visit, the useful thing to note is that Tuesday has the longest opening stretch, and the temple otherwise keeps a regular morning-and-evening rhythm through the week. Stand here and you are looking at a working local place of worship, set within the Bellandur area and easy to place by the Devarabisanahalli address.

In brief
