The Shiv Mandir, located in the heart of Bangalore, is abode to the 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, in a lotus position, sits in a scenic spot, with the backdrop of Mount Kailash and the Ganges flowing from the Lord's matted locks. The sense of tranquility that one can experience by looking at the 65-feet marvel, in the Himalaya, with the blue sky moving above, is overpowering. The look on Lord Shiva's face is so serene that it calms anyone who looks into his eyes. The positive energy that exists in the place is overwhelming. To stand beneath the powerful God and surrender oneself completely is a positively exuberating feeling one must experience.
