The Bull temple of Bangalore is dedicated to Nandi Bull, the vahana (vehicle) of Lord Shiva.
Situated in Basavanagudi, this temple has been built in the Dravidian style of architecture.
Kempe Gowda, the founder of Bangalore, got the Bull temple built during his time.
There is huge idol of Nandi Bull inside the temple, measuring 4.5 m in height and 6.5 m in length.
This idol is said to have been carved out of a single rock.
The bull also has a small iron plate on its head. As per the tradition, this plate prevents the bull from growing.
