- Tell us about this temple
The Mukti Naga Temple which is managed by Shri Subrahmanya Seva Trust is situated in the serene ambience of Ramohalli, a village at a distance of 18 kilometers from Bangalore city. Mukti Naga temple at Ramohalli, Bangalore has the world's largest monolithic statue of Lord Naaga. This 7-headed idol is about 16 feet tall and 36 tons in weight. The legend of this temple is more than 200 years old. Shri Mukthi Naga Kshetra has long been home for the Serpent Deity. As per the legend the devotees use to make 9 pradakshinas around the "hutta" (anthill) where the serpent resides to get their desires fulfilled within 90 days. The residents of this region have been referring to this place as "Junjappana Bayalu" (Junjappa's Field). Even now, devotees are asked first to perform these pradakshinas, and then go to the Sri Karya Siddhi Vinayaka temple after which only prayers are offered in the Mukthi Naga temple.
