About the place

Rebena Siddheshwar beta is famous for Siddheshwar temple. It is also popular among the trekkers and rock climbers. It is better to visit this place in winter as you may feel very tiring to climb hills in summer. We went there during August 2011.

There are totally 3 temples in the hill complex– at the top is Revanna Siddeshwara temple, midway is Bheemeshwari (named after the pandava Bheema) and Renukamba temple at the base. We first went to Renukamba temple which is at the foot of the hill.



After visiting Renukamba temple one has to go up to the hill. The hill is made of huge granite stones, very attractive to look. If you have a vehicle you can ride up, otherwise you can take the steps.



Behind me (above) is the huge stone hill. The left side road is for vehicles, the right side steps are for pedestrians. While going on this road we saw the temple chariot.



This temple is famous in Karnataka and visited by devotees from all over Karnataka, The hill is more than 3000 feet above the sea level. The main Idol is in the cave temple on the hill. The place has rich history linked with the Gangas, Kempegowda and Tipu Sultan.



This is the Siddheswhar temple on the top of the hill. The outside views from this hill are very attractive. It is worth visiting the place.

bus facility to revena siddheswar beta
Dear vinayak, I am not sure about direct busses from bangalore. You can take mysore bus upto ramanagaram and take another bus from there. However busses dont go upto the hill. If you have a personal vechicle you can take to the hill. Otherwise you can take the steps to climb the hill. In either case keep enough time in hand as there are more and more height to climb. Best of luck.
