The Shivoham Shiva Temple, located in the heart of Bangalore, is abode to a 65-feet-tall Shiva statue. Seated in a yogic posture, the deity is a towering symbol of faith. Lakhs of devotees throng the temple to experience God, especially on festive days. The majestic Lord sits in a lotus position and has in the background Mount Kailash, and the holy river Ganges flowing from the His matted locks. The sense of tranquility that one experiences by looking at this 65-feet marvel, surrounded by mountains and with the blue sky above, is overwhelming. The look on Lord Shiva’s face is so serene that it calms anyone who looks at him. The positive energy that exists in the place is overpowering. It is a feeling that one must experience in his / her lifetime.
32-feet-tall VignaharanGanesha is the first deity at the temple devotees offer their prayers to. The white statue of the Ganapati is seated first in the path of pilgrimage through the Shivoham Shiva Temple.The word Vighnaharan means “remover of obstacles.” Devotees tie the ‘Vighnaharan thread’ near the Ganesha praying for their troubles to be resolved. Along with being the destroyer of evils and obstacles, Ganesha is also known as the Lord of success. Ganesha is also worshipped as the god of education, knowledge, wisdom and wealth.
The Navgraha pooja is conducted by making a till batti for all the nine grahas and offering it to the Gods in the form of an aarti and circumambulating the grahas nine times.
The PratyakshLinga is hidden under the sacred waters of Manasa Sarovar Lake at the Shivoham Shiva Temple. This Linga remains submerged in the water and as soon as the aarti starts, it appears out. After the aarti is over, the Linga disappears! The Linga symbolizes that God’s miracles are mystical and everything happens only at the right time as per His wish. Devotees can catch a glimpse of the Pratyaksh Ling during the morning, evening and midnight aarti.
The Healing Stone
The Upchaar Patthar at the Shivoham Shiva Temple is a healing stone believed to cure and relieve devotees from suffering.
At the entrance of the Shivoham Shiva Temple, there’s a huge 25-ft ShivaLinga Gate that symbolizes the sacred form of Lord Shiva. Thrown open to the devotees on February 18, 2012, the Linga represents the divine energy and infinite nature of Lord Shiva. It has water falling from atop signifying milk abhishekam. At 24 x 15 feet, it’s the biggest such ShivaLinga Gate in Bangalore.
In the Pahadi Shiv Dham Yatra, devotees climb the Himalayas, pass through Haridwar, Rishikesh, Badrinath, Kedarnath, and finally reach Amarnath. The devotees get a chance to witness all these shrines and also touch the sacred Shiva Linga of Amarnath, which is formed of ice. This journey amidst the frosty breeze and through the snowy mountains gives devotees the feeling of being present at the actual shrines.
The Shivoham Shiva Temple also has organized a feat of 12 animatronics. This setup offers a unique opportunity for the devotees to make a holy pilgrimage under one roof. The Barah JyotirLing Yatra is a special attraction of the temple. The spiritual vibrations in the temple bring a sense of spiritual belongings and reverence, allowing all devotees to voyage through 12 sacred lingams from Mahakaleshwar to Rameshwaram, and from Somnath to Vaidyanath.
Ganga Snaan
In this activity, the devotees take a bath in the Holy Ganges that flows out of Shiva’s matted hair. The holy Ganges flows from the top of the 65-feet-tall Shiva onto a Linga installed specially for this activity.
