RVM Foundation Reviews

The place is good but the management is legally looting the people

Nice place to visit. But they charged 150 as entry fees.

Very nice and peaceful place , Monday night is always special here. Huge Lord Shiva sculpture is main highlight of shivoham temple. Whats special about this place is that at shivoham temple everyone sings prayers at night around 12 and after that prasaad is distributed to everyone. Even in night time many bhaqt visit this temple from different corners of Bangalore to pray to Lord Shiva and to gain peace of mind.

The commercial temple... Fully artificial... No natural scenery

A very peaceful place to visit. The shiva idol s very peaceful and gives a sense of fulfillness to mind

Shiva temple is really very nice all can do Abhisheka and Aarathi... Everyone should visit once atleast

after school and hospitals in bangalore, new place where looting happens publicly... just for seeing god, 100 rs and thats called special entry, which is just seeing god.... and no concept of free darshan.... and whatever you touch inside, its money...pure commercialization, no divine or anything...

Must visit this place. You can see here all shiva temples present all over the India.

Entry fee is 150 per head for normal and 250 for spl darshan. Felt commercial than spiritual.
But nice place to visit.

It is pretty good experience to visit here. It is very well organised.

Temple is backside of a shopping mall.entrance to temple is from shopping mall underground parking place. Awesome place . perfect place for lord shiva devotes. Lord shiva idol is very huge and holy. Entry fee is more than 100 and special puja fee is 250. every one hour there will be a harathi time everyone can perform harathi themselves, they only provide things . prasadam won't be available. You can take photos. no extra charge for camera.

Nice big sculpture of lord Shiva with lord ganesh in the starting of temple

The place is a sheer example of how spirituality can be commercialized. There is a fee for almost every darshan.

Spiritual place. Everyone should visit at least once

People say it's commercial or costly but beleive me the price is worth. They have 12 jyotirlinga prarup which really makes you feel positive. It's a really positive place to get peace. Per me you should visit at least once the energy there will warm you up.

one of the good temple in bangalore, not as before, they are charging entry fee, it will be very difficult for every person to visit. I wish they could have allowed all. Temple is well maintained.

It is a good place to see. But they are just making money out of it. Rs 250 is too much and they don't offer anything. Waste of money. People who are going don't waste money .

It was d worst experience..... Tey r looting d money like 150rs per head...... Evn for a temple entry, so much entry fee s too bad and also in d maintenance Tey r acting too worst nd making compulsion to pay amount where people come as family nd it's huge cost to bare....

Fully satisfied. As per my belief, acharas are belongs to mind. If mind satisfied that we have done good thing, our mental worries are diminished. I understand that the process in the temple reflects it. Hence it's worth *****. Because so many of us lacks it(satisfaction).

Beware of unwanted things.
On main gate one of person told us that we can't go further without ticket, whuch cost 150 n 250 INR. There is no provision of free entry. I provided my card for payment. Luckily due to some network issue my amount is not deducted. Meanwhile a long queue of people built and people start shouting what type of ticket you providing.
Afterwards i told please proceed queue i am waiting aside once network back i will pay.
Next person only paid 5rs and enter i asked her why you didn't charge 150 or 250 from him
Than she told he took only for shoes.
Than i felt that she is trying to cheat me with optional ticket.
I feel sad and realise issue of cheating people in name of religion.

The Experience of this temple is very good and one thing I haven't felt the positive energy like ancient temple, and I've only felt entertainment.

Money......!! For entrance money, taking pic money etc.. But u can visit once.

Unique big lord shiva temple in India at bangalore, you have to pay only 150rs to enter in mandir premises and on this amount they will provide you various facilities like
Rudraabhishek,
101 OM NAMHA SHIVAE mantra jaap to 101 shivlings,
Hawan pooja,
Ganesh darshan,
Hardiwar theme,
Jal abhishek of all shivlings of india,
Diya on jaal,
And various other things...

You can say it paisa vasool paid service..

I had never seen these types of temple who provide facilities like this.

Please go once if you are in bangalore.

Doesn't give you a feel of temple. More like a tourist spot.

Good one. But the ambience outside makes you feel you are not going in to a temple. The entrance us through the parking of More supermarket. But rush is less and they have all the miniature modela of various shiva temples in india which is quite intersting. You need to pay 250 per head if you go with all poojas which i will prefer to go with rather than going on a regular pass

Pathetic. These buggers making money in the name of God. Don't even think to go there. Visit other temples for peace and prayer but definitely not this one. It is just a dukaan.

This is run and maintained by RVM foundation. A pure business temple in Bangalore. Each and every step is a business here. Last time when I had been to Shivaratri, they said it's compulsory to buy special darshan ticket and Pooja items. What the hell!!! It's my wish to go for free darshan or special darshan. You can see executives sitting everywhere and demanding you to buy jyothirlinga darshan tickets. The milk they give you to pour on shivlinga is just a ash water, not milk. If you take Pooja items there will be no one to use it inside. On the other side you find line of commercial shops. This place is not for devotion.

I never seen this kind of entry tickets in any themple but here they are charged for head 250/- in this covid situation

It's good to visit but asking entry fees for general free entry.

Its built with an intention to extract money. High entrance fee , no temple feel at all

Very interesting concept. If you pay entry fee then you get Darshan of replicas of all 12 jyotirlings. You get Pooja samgri a guided tour of temple.

Peaceful

It is a small and a beautiful temple with a feeling of Himalayas around.
This tall and beautifully structured Shiva idol is the main attraction of the temple.
The pathway to it is very dark and long and it looks like a tunnel that you have to pass through reach the Shiva idol.
Water falls from his hair and you can actually feel the drops and mist in the premises.

If You go this temple you will feel like you
r in Himalayas per sure

Nice Place , but now its more of a commercial place.
For everything , we need to pay.

These guys here are just running a business in name of temple. You have to pay even for walking through caves. I didn't get the feeling of visiting a temple. Outside it is written normal entry is free but nothing is free once you enter here.

Worth a one time visit. Be aware of commercialism of the temple prayers/offerings, etc. One can visit the temples without paying a single rupee.

The entrance is from left when you are facing the mall. Entrance is a (quite dark) tunnel of ~100m. Rest of the route through temple is well managed/barricaded. They have good system for leaving footwear, don't know about luggage.

Idols are quite magnificent, with plenty of opportunities for selfies!
During non rush hours/days, it should take around 30 mins to complete the visit.

There could be some food outlets in the mall - I haven't checked. Alternatively, after exit from the temple (from the left of the mall), cross the street and go little left to find a decent south Indian restaurant.

The mall seems well connected by public transport, cabs, autos. Indira nagar metro station is the closest one (~2KM). I don't know about car parking availability in mall parking for temple visit.
