Dear Shantha,
Very informative & useful site.
Im planning to visit this temple, I need information regarding the train availability to this temple.
Its mentioned everywhere: Nearest railway station is Makali Durga on Bangalore – Guntakal line.
My query is whether is there any stoppages in this station or we need to get down in Doddaballapur station. How much is the distance from railway station to this temple?
Since im allergic to bus travel / do not own my own transportation as of now. Could you please help me???

I went with all my Family to give Birth Hair (Mudi) For my Twin boy babies who was 2.5 yrs old and we went on Wednesday and It was very easy for us to take mudi and Bath – water coming from the tap and a good Darshana and also we had Annadanam food with all of my family members and It is great a temple and very powerful.

Hope you have a comfortable darshana.
