Detailed itinerary

Visit the historic Trinity Church on MG Road, an architectural gem from the British colonial era. Built in 1851 by the East India Company for the British Regiment in Bangalore, this church even had Winston Churchill among its visitors. Its Gothic-style structure and calm interiors continue to draw people from all walks of life.

A serene spiritual center nestled amidst lush gardens and housed in a stately bungalow built in 1905, this ashram serves as a hub for meditation and learning, embodying the teachings of Sri Aurobindo and The Mother. The peaceful setting offers a quiet moment of reflection in the heart of the city.

Explore the magnificent Gurudwara Sri Guru Singh Sabha, a Sikh temple built entirely of gleaming white marble. The Gurudwara radiates peace and equality, with a vibrant community kitchen that welcomes all. Rooted in Sikhism’s core belief of one universal creator and selfless service, it embodies harmony, humility, and shared humanity.

A bustling, village-like bazaar where faith and daily life intertwine. Amid narrow lanes, old homes, and spice-laden stalls, the air carries the rhythm of devotion from nearby shrines and ashrams. It’s a living expression of Halasuru’s spiritual heritage, where community and tradition thrive side by side.

A tranquil sanctuary in Bangalore and part of a worldwide spiritual movement devoted to harmony among all faiths and cultures. Its serene temple, lotus pond, and quiet courtyards embody a timeless philosophy that once echoed on the world stage through voices of universal harmony — inspiring unity, selfless service, and inner awakening.

One of Bangalore’s most unique shrines, this temple to Goddess Kali stands within one of the city’s oldest graveyards. Here, devotion takes on a deeper, mystical form — where priests perform ancient rituals to remove evil eyes, and the fragrance of camphor and flowers mingles with chants that promise protection, courage, and spiritual renewal.
