About this temple
The ritual centre of Bengaluru Karaga, one of the city’s most important annual folk-religious festivals.
Why it matters
Sri Dharmaraya Swamy Temple is part of the Nagarathpete sacred circuit and is especially relevant for visitors looking for dharmaraya / pandava tradition worship in central Bengaluru. Timings and special seva windows may change during festival periods, so treat the timing block as a practical planning guide rather than a permanent schedule.
Crowd note
Very crowded during Bengaluru Karaga season; quieter on ordinary weekday mornings.
Better time to visit
If you want a calmer darshan, prefer weekday mornings. Evenings, weekends and festival days are usually more active.
