The temple of Arunachaleshwar stands bang in the middle of the village of Harohalli in the Bangalore Rural District of Karnataka. This village seems to be of little importance as after repeated searches on the internet i could gather no details of the place barring its name and the census figures. Anyhow, it never really figured in our get-away destinations except as a convenient base for scenic spots around its vicinity like, Billikal Betta among others. Finding our way in towards the temple was difficult, not because of anything but bikes and autos parked in the already narrow streets. Getting off the car, lifting and shifting the bikes every now and then was...one hell of a job! Though, we finally made it to the temple and with that inviting and imposing gopuram or the entrance-arch, we made our way in.
